Strewth an’ buggery, it’s hot!
I thought the fire was on. It’s not.
The weather’s bust! This can’t be right.
There’s not a chuffin’ cloud in sight.
Is that the sun up in the sky?
I thought I’d started with a stye.
If it continues in this tone
I’ll have t’ leave me scarf at home!

Pure genious rhyme! I was always imagining living in UK, just so I don’t have to bother anymore with head and sun and enjoy the rain and gray clouds.

You wouldn’t enjoy it much at the moment, Oloriel. It’s waaaaay hot out there right now. People are frying eggs on the pavement…although I can’t help thinking it’s a bit unhygienic.

You would find me on the street chanting for rain, it usualy works! 😀
July 18th, 2013 at 12:00 pm
Now there’s an idea…

At 24 degrees, I’d still have my scarf on! Brrrrrr.
Love English weather humour. Thanks!

Actually it’s about 32 degrees out there in the shade at the moment, Esme. What that is in old currency I don’t know…about 97? It’s hot, that’s all I know.

Farenheit is a mystery to me, I have conversion charts through all my cook books.
32 is nearly warm enough to go swimming. Nearly. That’s quite pleasant bike riding weather. 😀
I recall reading that England had a heatwave and it was 27! 32 must be melting items England had assumed were solids!

It’s cooled off a bit tonight. I might have to put the fire on.

We are having a bit of this right now in my neck of the woods. Yucky! I would recommend ketchup with the eggs:)
July 18th, 2013 at 12:01 pm
Fried egg and chip butty with ketchup sounds good.

Eeee it is ‘ot all right. Might even have to risk the sewage and dip me feet in the sea at this rate Brian.

32 degrees…blimey…that’s painful. You should take your scarf along with you anyways as you could always use it like handkerchief to mop up any excess sweat.
July 18th, 2013 at 6:51 pm
I don’t think there’s anything left in me to sweat out now.
July 18th, 2013 at 8:15 pm
97 … that’s pretty normal for us here in the summer … but, I know that it’s a bit hot for your neck of the woods …
July 18th, 2013 at 8:22 pm
We’re not used to it. It’s supposed to rain all summer in Blighty. I feel cheated by the Met Office.
July 19th, 2013 at 12:26 am
Yes – it’s finally cooked us! It always does that – arrives when we’ve given up on a summer and got all our warm clothes back in the wardrobe!! 😀
July 19th, 2013 at 12:43 am
Even the seagulls round our way are lying around with their tongues hanging out.
July 19th, 2013 at 12:49 am
Poor things! 😆
July 19th, 2013 at 10:03 am
This sunshine thing’s gone on for over a fortnight now. The novelty’s worn off. Now it’s just unpleasant and sticky.
July 19th, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Yes – a ‘sticky summer’ is not what we have in mind when looking forward to it in spring!!! 😀

I love the thought of all that pale pommy flesh being fried to a crisp.
And weird weather, 23 degrees yesterday, hottest July day ever then a banging good thunderstorm and freezing.
July 19th, 2013 at 9:32 am
It fell from twenty-three degrees to below zero?
July 19th, 2013 at 4:50 am
cool poem!
I think the world is titling for here in Texas
it rained again and is 73’… LOVE IT!

Seventy-three feet?

Where is that ark?
July 19th, 2013 at 3:11 pm
In a repository in the Pentagon where Indiana Jones left it, I think…
July 19th, 2013 at 1:30 pm
degrees, here ‘ means degree also
July 19th, 2013 at 3:12 pm
Ah…that makes more sense.
July 19th, 2013 at 12:56 pm
But you have to have your scarf!
July 19th, 2013 at 3:10 pm
I know, it’s a dilemma. However, I’ve reached a compromise. I’ll wear my scarf, but not tie it in a knot.
