When people told me that the nice (albeit sporadic) weather we had in April, May and June would constitute summer I thought no way. We are guaranteed some nice weather in the actual summer. Boy was I ever wrong!
For the past several weeks it has done nothing but piss down rain here. It has been chilly rainy one day and humid rainy another. This lovely combination of temperature has given me a lovely summer cold. The rain in London is expected by anyone who comes here (or should be) but it doesn't stop it being any less annoying when it does in fact rain. I feel like even though life goes on in the rain it puts a damper on my mood and anything I could ever possibly want to do. So I have stayed inside for the majority of the past several weeks and it has not been super fun. It did however help me during my dissertation hibernation! But all in all it is disgusting and I have had enough! Where is the sun?
I know that not everyone can have a Shelter Island summer complete with sun (almost) everyday, tanning oil, stretches of beach and ice cold drinks. But it appears all London has to offer you in the summer are soaked through shoes and a constant need to blow your nose.
I have been bottling this rant up inside for a while and of course today when I sit down to actually write it, the sun is shining and there are fluffy white clouds in the sky! Make up your mind Mother Nature!
