fffffffffff...
Jul. 19th, 2013 08:46 pm24°C at 8:45 in the evening here is a bit too much. Hope the weather reports that this heatwave in the UK is to last for another month is wrong as it's way too muggy to sleep at night, especially since there are next to no breezes during the night and it's way too hot to step outdoors for more than a couple of minutes. :/
(Thank goodness my new job doesn't start until the end of August when it'll hopefully have cooled down a bit as we start to head towards autumn...)
*keeps fan switched on*

May. 11th, 2009 10:58 pmYou know it's summer when you're stuck in the office for 8 hours when it's been blue skies all day for the first time in about a month, you can hear lawnmowers everywhere and the icecream man coming up the street. ;)
Hope the good weather is here to stay. *crosses fingers*
A2A episode 4 review post coming shortly. ;)

This is what I woke up to this morning:

Snow's a bit of a big thing over here since we hardly ever get it (pity it was a month and a half late :P). However what should have been a 10 minute journey to work took 40 mins - I was lucky, some of my co-workers weren't getting in until 2 hours after they'd left the house...lol.

Dec. 20th, 2008 04:18 pm- thanks whoever gave me the cold, I'd been avoiding it up until yesterday at work. You know when you can feel it coming (your throat hurts and you wake up the next morning with your nose all bunged up and your throat covered in...stuff??). Yeah... >:| *reaches for sheep-covered mug of tea*
- it's raining again, and the temperature isn't as cold as I'd (personally :P) like for snow. I hate it when Christmas is coming round and the weather is miserable, I'd settle for a wee bit of frost though on Christmas morn. ;) We can has snow nao plzkthx (England and Scotland have had their share :P)?
- 10 things we didn't know last week, from here...
1. Sugar does not cause hyperactive behaviour.
2. Oliver Twist was not hungry when he asked for more.
3. Leonard Cohen's original Hallelujah has more than 80 verses.
4. Sneezing can be a sign of sexual arousal. (hahah wtf?!)
5. It's legal to serve legal papers by Facebook, in Australia. (o.O)
6. It's a bad idea to put out a chip pan fire with a wet tea towel.
7. The world's oldest singer and actor is 105.
8. Some villages in Wales still don't have mains electricity.
9. Japan has its own version of the foot-measurement - called the kanejaku.
10. The average global temperature is about 0.7C above pre-industrial times.

Gaaaah, our internet played up so had to be switched off for the night. As a result, I had to get through 340 entries to catch up lol. Plus the weather's been atrocious since the weekend (strong gales and very heavy rain, although the gales only seem to come around twilight and are then gone by the next morning) but this cheered me up immensely:
Maybe slight spoilers for A2A Ep 6...
Oh and this song is made of awesome. *turns up loud*

This may well be the weirdest film I have ever seen (that's what I get for picking it up in Tescos for £4) but I'll forgive that since Andrew McCarthy is in it. ♥ XD
It was snowing again too; originally it was like little polystyrene (sp?) balls but then morphed into beautiful big flakes about an hour ago. It seems to have stopped. :(
Are we 2 months into the new year already? O_O

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...
Jan. 3rd, 2008 09:59 pmIt's snowing! :D :D :D It's only a week and half late. ;) Mum, Dad & I were visiting cousins about 15 miles south of Belfast this afternoon and they had some snow but it wasn't as thick as the stuff that's pouring out of the heavens. It was slushy in town tonight as well but just after 9pm, it really started falling thick and fast - it's about 3 inches deep and at one point on the main road, the car wheels had trouble gripping the road when taking off from the traffic lights. ♥ It's soooo pretty lol.
ETA: ( pics! )
And apparently there's to be more on the way...

Weather rant
Jul. 14th, 2007 03:26 pmDear rain,
please please PLEASE go away from the UK. You have been here for well over a month and have caused enough havoc in the north of England and since you messed up our heating system, we cannot get our clothes dry outside.
Me.
Dear sun,
it's July. You were most certainly here this time last year - where are you? We were promised a heatwave this year and instead it's turned out to be a complete washout of a 'summer'. It was hotter 3 months ago. Come baaaaaaaaaaaack.
Me.

More on that flooding
Jun. 12th, 2007 04:54 pmWell the rain has finally stopped but I had no idea some places were as bad as these:
- literally just a few streets away...
- on the Castlereagh road in East Belfast, my area and where that bus is is about a 2 min drive from my front door...
- car half submerged...
- at the local shopping centre again...
There are no words...

It's absolutely bucketing down from the heavens and there is a lot of thunder and lightning going on outside, though I suppose to many it will be welcome judging by the scorching heat over the last week or so. However, I think our garage is gonna get flooded since the rain doesn't look like it's going to stop anytime soon...the rain just keeps on coming. It must be several inches deep by now! o___O
Storm is right overhead. *hides under duvet quilt*
ETA: our church charity shop, in which I sometimes do voluntary work, has had to close due to flooding and the local shopping centre had to be evacuated. O_O Shit...

[x] It's insanely hot outside...*fans self* and my room is starting to resemble a fecking sauna, even with the window open, there's no breeze at all. O_O
[x] The peach & apricot fruit bits in the Special K Peach and Apricot cereal are gorgeous - mmmmmmm! XD *munch* I think I've eaten near enough all the pieces in the whole packet...

So we had some snow earlier...
Mar. 19th, 2007 01:04 amYeah, our weather's been really weird today; snow, hailstones, rain and sun. o___O So much for it being the middle of March but then again it's been known to snow in April...*scratches head* Wish Mother Nature would make her mind up...
