horrible bleak, grey, cold June weather

We are going to have microwave dinners and oven chips.

I've just had fried potatoes, fried bread, fried egg and baked beans with brown sauce. Comfort food. Sod salad in this weather!

That sounds delicious!!!!

I know it won't last, but we have had a lovely summer afternoon here in Cheshire and now it's a golden evening. Sending you J0 and Petallus

JO8 the sun came out for a couple of hours at teatime here, but by then you sort of think " why bother", I to had fried potatoes and ham for tea, but was annoyed I had forgotten the onion when I went shopping.
love fried onions

So not fair!

Have put the microwave meals back in freezer. Going to do a fry-up

have you got a spare onion please? x

It is a beautiful evening in my corner of Cheshire too. I bought some bedding plants from Aldi this morning and I've just put them in the borders.

My summer wardrobe shopping has consisted of a cardigan and a jumper, both already well worn. Looking forward to hot chocolate!

Sorry folks. It's winter here in Cape Town, and its really warm during the day. Does get chilly at night though. Only here for a short visit so hopefully it will be warmer at home on our return.

Turned out well here in Durham but still chilly. Went to the new M'nS and to my horror caught sight of myself in a sneaky cruel mirror which had no business being full length in the children's section.came home very sad and inflicted salad on my poor DH. We need some heat .and sun.and good news. And could someone start a list of feel good reads please.

We were thinking about putting the heating on, its been dismal all day here in London. I was talking to my sister in West Wales and she'd come in from the garden because it was getting too hot..

OH is really down and fed up. He does get SAD generally in February, and it really does look like he's suffering from June SAD!

The sun came out briefly this evening and the wind has gone around to the south, so hopefully things may be improving.

I think that I may be suffering from hypothermia in London and it is nearly mid June.
It was similar last year I recall.

Heating on,electric blanket on, only worn my new sandals once, jumpers and cardigans, soup for lunch, Here comes Summer.... I don't think so!

DH came down heavily on my attempt to sneak the heating on - told to put on a thicker jersey!!
Throw another dog on the bed, anyone?

Sunny and warm in Norfolk this morning! OH is off to do his NT volunteer gardening bit - in shorts! Daren't look at the forecast. (I may consider not having a hot water bottle tonight)

That is why I quite like the winter fuel allowance. I can say ''That's MY bit'' As I switch on the central heating! No contest.

Not cold enough for heating, but very grey and thick cardi weather outside here in north Kent.

j08 I hope you enjoyed your fry up.

DH was watching his kind of telly (Quest) in another room last night so I had the pretending-to-be-a-woodburner electric fire on on full blast while I watched mine (soaps). Was deliciously cosy.

Just as bleak looking again today.

Will not let it get to me today!

Yes Petallus. The fry up went down very well. DH did laugh at me because I ate mine in front of the oven with the door open, enjoying the bit of warmth from cooking the oven chips. Can't believe how cold I was! Will move about more today.

It has been horrible, cold and miserable here all day, just drizzle, drizzle, drizzle. I too threw out the healthy option for lunch, and had fried spam, (YES I DID!) with egg and chips and baked beans, felt much better after that. Once again the evening turning mellow, too late to do anything!

I'm totally pi**ed off. OH decided to take this week off work when we had a few days of chilly but sunny weather last week. Big ideas of lovely, relaxing days out. Humph! It's been chilly, windy and very grey all week and totally uninspiring! So much for global warming!!

That's the trouble - global warming means the jet stream moving and far more extremes in weather. At least we've not had the bad flooding they've had on the continent.

(Back to 'normal' today. Grey and mizzley. At least we nearly had a day of summer yesterday.)
