Mad Scientess Jane Expat

Not one of my British friends and colleagues has complained about the weather for the last week.

Now, I'm the first one to admit that it is absolutely glorious out, but I'm half American so I'm allowed unqualified enthusiasm for nice things. Surely there is something amiss when no one is grumbling about the weather. Isn't the sunshine the wrong colour? Isn't it bad for the plants in the garden? Won't there be an hosepipe ban? Doesn't this mean we'll have six solid months of rain come the autumn?

Isn't just a little too hot?

Come on, guys. You're letting the side down here.

The bit that gets me about this weather is the warm nights. Waking up in the wee hours, bathed in sweat... Luvverly!

I enjoy leaving the windows open at night. Sometimes we can hear an owl.

Ah. We get jets coming into Heathrow from 5 a-bloody-m every other morning.

On the plus side, living close to the airport means I won't have as far to travel for my flight to Dublin this afternoon!

Also, rhyming! A dire fire. I wonder how many such words you can get into a sentence. A dire pyre fire, squire?

Telstar concurs. He spent most of last weekend flopped out under a rose bush, staring at us pathetically.

It was a bit too humid yesterday - everyone at work was complaining about being sticky.

It's cooling off a bit here. Today is overcast, but still pleasant enough to have the windows open.
