Hey guys,
It’s been a few days, 5 to be precise as to when I last blogged. So after this blog I will set my self a challenge to draw a picture each day, to blog and explain why I done it. Just to keep me on my toes and keep my blog just a little more active. My attentions at the moment are towards the weather!
Now I don’t know about everybody else, but I usually anticipate the autumn and winter weather to come, besides this is England we know it’s coming! This year is different though, like every year we sit in front of the television or even check updates online to see what the weather man predicts for us. I say predicts because even though they have all this high-tech equipment that can tell them months in advance what the weather will be like, they still manage to completely mess it up! So yeah, we check for their predictions to see what’s to come. Now to be fair, as English men and women we should be more prepared for the weather to come, there is no putting our ‘winter’ clothes away and getting out the ‘summer’ it’s all rolled into one lately. Don’t get me wrong, this years summer was great it weren’t a solid summer with 6-8 weeks of heat, but when do we ever get that? But there was less rain and more sun by my understanding.
As a southerner all the northerners will be laughing at us now as we to them we are ‘weak, fragile people who can’t take a little cold’ when really the southerners laugh at them for being pale and mostly obese to help them keep the cold out! Now I don’t want to start a war between north and south, plus a good deal of my family are from Scotland and that’s well up north and them poor buggers have colder summers than penguins! I mean the beauty of England is the fact that we have 4 seasons, but up north I think the most they have is 2! That’s autumn and winter all year round! This years been different though, I don’t feel as if we’ve had 4 seasons, I feel as if we’ve had 2 rolled up into one mess we like to call the British weather! We started the year with a horrible winter and that gradually progressed into a spring type summer which didn’t really hit spring just jumped into summer, leaving people either ill or just completely burnt out by the heat as there was no time for adjusting. Now after quite a beautiful summer and some pretty amazing temperatures even coming in to the September months we are slowly getting dragged into autumn. This isn’t no normal autumn though, this is one bitterly cold autumn that I personally am absolutely hating and wish for just one year we could forget about winter and maybe bring some tropical weather over!
As the British nation, each year comes out of winter into spring and spring to summer etc. We tend to hear people moan about everything! Well apart from the weather man, unless you made plans for the seaside and it rained cats and dogs, then the weather mans ears would have been burning all day long! I mean moaning about everything weather wise! One minute we’d moan it is to cold, and then when summer comes we moan it’s to hot, we moan that we never have a ‘white’ Christmas and when we do everyone moans about how cold it is and the whole country comes to a stand still because of how poorly prepared we are! Every year it happens! I mean how is that?! Look how much snow America gets in one night and the next day, every road is clear, all the main shops are open even down to schools! Over here, we get not even a few centimeters and it causes mass panic across the country and everything gets shutdown! To me it don’t make too much sense at all and even now when writing this I’m bamboozled to know why!
So why do we persist to moan about the weather when all of us living within this ‘beautiful’ country know what’s to come each year! I think the only thing that will begin to change and whether this is down to global warming or not I’ll let you guys judge, is that the seasons sooner or later will be on the wrong months! For now, I shall top up on the honey and lemon and stay put underneath my blanket! Cause I am not looking forward to getting any more ‘man flu’
