After a night of strong wind the low temperature and the cold weather are back. It’s hard to remember such a depressing Spring. In fact I’m not sure there has ever been such a depressing Spring.
This week I’m going to try for daily posting again. I’m going to make a start by posting this simple complaint about the weather.
The year is now one third of the way through and we’ve had about a week of decent weather.
I’ve made very little progress on decluttering and the well-regarded decluttering book I bought has been absorbed into a pile of books and can no longer be seen. It lacked pace and plot and was generally a bit dull, to be honest, which is why I’d rather read detective fiction and let the house fill with clutter.
I may start decluttering again if I can find a book about a woman who kills her husband because of his untidy habits. Or vice versa.
Breakfast was two sausages that I cooked last night and put to one side. The paprika was an unexpected extra. I was too lazy to fry eggs and mushrooms.
After breakfast, washing up and answering overnight comments on the blog it is now time to set off for the shop.
We have 15 items to pack and send off, including three which were only put up for sale on Saturday. The Budgerigar society badge sold for £6.50. This gives me an excuse to use the photograph again.
We are FINALLY having open-windows-at-night weather. Hoorah!!
We thought that, but we soon closed them again. Brrr…
It’s hot and windy today..80’sF. Definitely means storms in store for us.
Good luck with it. 🙂
The persistent cold weather is debilitating to body and spirit. I am glad that you had a budgie to cheer yourself up.
Yes, a budgie is a cheerful thing.
True! I had cold chips a couple of weeks ago when we left a few oven chips overnight. I decided to conceal the fact from WP, but as you mentioned it… 🙂
No summer here yet either, I blame Brexit!
With careful management I’m hoping to keep blaming Brexit for the rest of my life (which I’m hoping will be about 30 years). 🙂
We have slightly higher temperatures today (6 Celsius) because of the high winds, I assume. Yesterday and the day before it didn’t get above 5 C and it has rained almost incessantly since Friday morning. We did have a few warm days and sunshine the week before last so Spring hasn’t been a complete failure!
De-cluttering can only be done with a light heart. Don’t even think about it now!
Sounds like you’re having worse weather than we are – at least we hare having some decent dry spells. Despite the weather forecast we have just had a dry day.
I would say that today’s weather was worse than anything we had all winter. Absolutely awful.
I was watching the weather report tonight – a massive patch of rain over East Anglia seemed to be the main thing on the chart. I hope it passes soon.
So do I! Our garden is a quagmire!
Time to buy a boat?
It might be. Richard has been looking up ‘Ark building’ videos on Youtube.
Time spent in preparation is seldom wasted. Good luck.
Thank you! 😀
I’m with you, Quercus. In Maine, indeed in much of the country, the weather has been weird and hard. I’d like to blame Donald Trump, but thank goodness he doesn’t control the weather. 😉
And that’s what he’d like you to keep believing… 🙂
I do believe that he makes bad weather seem worse . . . it’s just so easy to be grumpy these days.
I’m thinking of the opening scenes of Flash Gordon (the one with the Queen soundtrack) when Ming the Merciless is messing with our weather.
Another entertaining post, Quercus. When I was a little kid my parents occasionally left some of their fish and chips out. I would come hopefully into the kitchen in the morning. Nothing like a few cold chips.
