Stupid weather! (mini rant)

[Rosendula]

So off I set to the allotment with an incredibly heavy bag of stuff for the compost heap.
It started spitting with rain. "Never mind", I thought, "it will soon pass and I have a hood on my nice new allotment coat"

Then it started to rain hard. "Never mind", I thought, "I'll be there soon and I can stand in the shed until it passes over."

Then it started thundering, yes THUNDERING. "Never mind", I thought as I speeded up to get away from the tree-lined street.

Then, I could hardly believe it, it started flipping HAILSTONING!!!! Big, hard hailstones. "I mind", I thought as I arrived at the allotment, fumbled with my keys to unlock and relock the gate and make a dash for my shed and then fumble with that lock as well.

Got the door open, almost dived into the shed, and as I stumbled in through the door, dripping wet and icy cold it STOPPED - just like that!

We're fed up here cos the horrid wind is back again, albeit it is from the south now. Guess who was trying to clean south facing windows yesterday (they open inwards) with a howling gale blowing paperwork in our office all over the room....... And dead flies everywhere too! So much to do in so little time and I can't do anything in the veg patch because the ground is too wet.

The 8 day weather forecast is just rain and high wind and getting colder and colder too. (We need not just a sad face smilie but a real WAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH smilie!).

[Rosendula]

Are these anywhere near?

[Millymollymandy]

No I mean a real tantrum, lying on the floor beating arms about and throwing teddies out of the pram type of smiley!

Or perhaps it's best not to encourage that type of behaviour.

I want one of those smileys - 30 km an hour gusty winds bringing in snow, then rain, then a flash of sun, then snow, then rain, then a flash of sun, then snow, then rain -------- you get the picture.

And this is our forecast until Tuesday - when it just changes to SNOW.

OMG Monika poor you!

Typically, this morning I was determined to do some jobs outside (clearing brambles, ivy and saplings etc esp. those that entwine themselves with our perimeter fence) and donned my waterproof everythings..... only for it to remain dry! But I know what'll happen if I don't put them on.

Sorry to be smug, but the weather has been lovely here for the last few days. A bit of rain today, but nothing significant. Oh blast, having now said that guaranteed snow tomorrow!!!

How about this one: **
[Edit: Nevermind, it didn't work. It was a good one, though.]

You see - there is an advantage to having the Pennines a few miles to the west. The wind goes over us and most of the rain has already fallen. Mind you, by the time those winds hit East Yorkshire, they've picked up all kinds of stuff again. Just in time to fall on Rosey.

I should edit the title of this thread to read "Let's All Laugh at Rosie"

I found these at best smileys. Probably get into trouble for importing them.
