Well. I'm sat in the garden and I am dry. As is my gin martini.

Gin Martini? That'll be a Martini.

Shaken or stirred? Bear in mind the wrong answer means you are either James Bond or a cunt.

Shaken obnov.

Well that was refreshing. Enfield to Dulwich was lovely and warm, if a bit sweaty. Dulwich to Enfield was biblical.

S'wet...

nice to be back to normal isn't it

Fuck normal dicki.

This isn't particularly aimed at the users of this thread, but all those lily livered, "it's too hot" brigade, how are you enjoying the damp milder weather right now huh? Just a prelude to the blustery conditions of autumn. I'm crossing my fingers so hard they are fracturing as I wish for an Indian summer of epic proportions 25-30 well into September.

and the nights are drawing in

It's fucking great, I love it. No more sweating while doing nothing.

thunder over central right now
got a few drops of rain just as i was arriving at work ... didn't dampen my enthusiasm for a hard day at work though

wow did you hear that one must have been pretty close

oh it's coming down now ok
i knew there was a benefit of getting to work at 7.20 am .... it just took me 2.5 years to realise it

On the other hand, I'm lucky I stayed in bed an extra 30 mins. If I'd have left the house at the usual 7.40 I'd have been fucking soaked.

Can see blue sky over N7 now, but still hear distant rumblings of thunder. Might make a break for it.

yup all clear now
blue sky over central

well that was short and sweet

rain, thunder and lightning

well that was short and sweet

and really fucking loud, it actually woke me up

morning sir

Just went through the edge of it- huge raindrops, thunder and lightning.

Then walked from the coffee shop to work in the sun.

Bussed it today. Sun while walking to the stop, pissing rain while on the bus, sun walking to the gym, pissing rain while in the gym, sun walking to work, now thunder and more pissing.

Late for work. Waiting for storm downpour to stop. Urgh #allwaterproofsareinadequate

^^
good timing
you sound like you had it nailed this morning

Lots of cyclists getting whatever shelter they could find on the (river) Holloway Road this morning.

Decided that I would be fine in just a t-shirt, the feeling of being fine lasted from 7.38 until about 7.40.

Ride to work complete and it's about to piss it down in W1. Spare keks remain unused.

Winning start to the weekend.

I left the house at 06:00, 'twas sunny and lovely the whole way in. This better stop by this afternoon, mind.

fucking tipping it down already in ec2
