You know what you can do with that reacclimation.  <_<

My parents were not impressed with Seattle.

Mom: "Why would you want to live here? It's so dreary."
Dad: "Meh, looks like a city."

Smoke is nuts. We had to sleep in the guest room last night because it wasn't getting in there as much as the bedroom.


You can't see the city under there.

I certainly don't miss it.

In fact, I think I reacclimated here almost instantly.  60's feel hot.  :P

Very warm here for mid-September, left in the late afternoon today and it was 79F.

Also driest September so far since 1960.  :hmm:

Tremendous thunderstorm out my way this morning. I opened the curtains to see whether the street was flooding only to have my retinas seared and eardrums burst by a very close blot of lightning. Didn't clear the air, though, it's still very humid.

Off to Scotland next week, that'll be refreshingly cold and wet  :lol:

Last night I was coming home, high up on the edge of the Forest and I could see this system coming in from the West Country, lots lightning going on in the clouds; very nice nightscape.  :bowler:

I was reading Byron's "Beppo" today, and it made me think of this thread:

I like the taxes, when they're not too many;
       I like a seacoal fire, when not too dear;
I like a beef-steak, too, as well as any;
       Have no objection to a pot of beer;
I like the weather,—when it is not rainy,
       That is, I like two months of every year.

In Italy, for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock

:D

But it's somewhat out of date, the climate here has changed and the day to day weather sometimes has a different texture.

In another decade or two I'm expecting to see a local farmer have a go at growing sunflowers.

Maize is already a feature of the bottom end of this valley, which is a bit odd for England or at least in the density of fields it's being planted.
