Crap weather for May

[Macca]

Sun has gone in here now as it's getting hazy, but I managed to get an hour in stood on the front step.

Think it will take more than that though to make a dent on my winter pallor.

Is it just me, or is the weather/climate particularly dreadful this year?

Thoroughly p'd off!

[Macca]

It's stayed cold for a longer time than usual that's true.

Last year was a total wash-out, I think we had one decent week. I think it's rained a little less so far this year than last, but it's still rained a lot.

It's a Bank Holiday! It always rains on a Bank Holiday - that's the law.

You're right of course it is the law. We've not had ours yet but the forecast is showing a 50% chance over the next three hours.

Next week looks pretty good. Low on actual sunshine, but 16/17C and no wind.

We had a couple of good days beginning of September last year. I know because I was camping, and the weather while camping is kind of important.

There was some daft bint on the telly the other day, calls herself 'the aspara-mancer' She chucks a handful of asparagus spears onto a table, and depending how they point she can predict stuff. She reckoned we're on for an Indian Summer. I wonder how much they paid her.

She also predicts that the general election will happen in August-ish. And that Starmer won't be leading the Labour Party by then.

Here she is predicting something else. Was she right? Did Harry and Meghan have twins? Do we care?

They can never predict anything useful like winning lottery numbers or horses can they?

Although I suppose if there are any that can then they're already living a life of luxury somewhere, not scraping a few bob from doing the odd slot on TV.

Well it has stopped raining now, not that it bothered me - I have just spent the last couple of hours wall mounting a TV.

That's as reliable as studying chicken entrails - the ancient Greeks and Romans were doing that centuries ago with equally random success.

A waste of asparagus if you ask me

Dry again this morning, and predicted to be a bit warmer too. I got the fence painting done yesterday, and that should have been enough for now, but no - she wants the grass cutting, and there are some tip runs as well. Will it ever end?
