The Great British Weather

Where's the snow at?

Wasps! Everywhere!! Drunk on weak sunshine

Blazing sunshine and a crisp but gentle breeze, how the fuck is my flight delayed due to bad weather, cunts.

What time you hitting Le Reej?

Sorry, was of to birmingham, it was shit.

First frost of the year. Leaning was ace.

Come to London, Andy!

(Since we're obviously too rubbish to make it to the Isle of Woman.)

It would appear that if the reports are correct, we need to batton down the hatches for tomorrow.

Whatever the fuck that means.

batton down the hatches

'batten'

not to be confused with 'battenburg down the hatch' which merely implies eating lots of rectangular shaped cake.

It would appear that if the reports are correct, we need to batton down the hatches for tomorrow.

Whatever the fuck that means.

Battens as in lengths of wood, nailed to the hatches over a layer of canvas/similar to stop the water getting in.

=stop the boat filling up with water due to inclement weather and sinking, which is considered sub-optimal by the sailing fraternity.

Apart from those in Das Boot, I suppose.

Full waterproofs on today. Rode all around London, enter office drenched, strip off to reveal perfectly dry clothes underneath, James Bond style.

"The name's ben, photoben".

It obviously hasn't hit you lot yet - it's like an episode of Takeshi's Castle up here - I particularly enjoyed the sliding bins round........

fuck me, that was a scary commute

perfect morning down south
blue sky not a hint of rain
tad chilly but still shorts and t-shirt weather

love the north south divide

and the south easts rain shadow

Glorious this morning, just enough chill in the air to allow you to cool down after a bit of impromptu interval training.

Not a cloud in the sky, and the traffic lights even seemed to be playing along.

Which means that come home time it'll be almost impossible to work out which direction the driving rain is coming from, as thunder booms and lightning makes you glad of your carbon wheels.

It started to rain yesterday at 9:30am It hasn't stopped since.

Time to see if my life time guarantee from Everest is worth the paper it's written on.

I sealed around my windows on Saturday, and seem to have removed all but one window Kazoo.

I'll try to get that last one this weekend, if there is a suitable gap in the weather to get up the ladder.

So far so good. I have water pooring through the hinge on a PVC door. One call and am expecting a call back, no bmobile network due to heavy rain. They have works number. Lets see what happens.

This winter should be a piece of piss now we have the wonderful thing called 'heating' in our flat. Humans eh? Fucking clever little things they are.

This is about 10 mins away from me

What is all that shit? Frothy coffee? Has someone bombed a Starbucks or something?

sand! and lots of it !

Mmm... coffee ice cream

foamy doom

Jesus. Those cars will be sandblasted.
