Hey to all the fellow Brits, how have you been enjoying the week of glorious, wonderful, extremely pleasant weather? I've just been going for the simple option of sit outside drinking until it goes dark, cooking meat over burning charcoal and then retiring to a nice north-facing room to complain about sunburn. What have you guys been doing in the sunshine? Maybe even leaving the local co-op with some milk, walking down the street and shouting "It's so damn hot! Milk was a bad choice!"

Also I know there are users from a fair few countries that you wouldn't take your jumper off if you were here, but let us have this one.

Nothing other than doing abit of shopping in the sun. Sure I have been liking the weather than the usual cold and rain that the UK usually get but you won't find me basking in the sun ray.

Either way I am now dreading for the coming rain which I'm hoping it won't be on the Jubilee week (my bro is coming over that week).

I'm in a glass case of emotion!

... my conservatory. But honestly, I've been looking for a job so I can get paid minimum wage and have the feeling that my life is slipping away. Fun times.

Unfortunately, revising until Wednesday, then I'll be outside as much as possible. We have had a few barbecues though, and have been asserting our dominance on the local basketball court.

Met office says that's when the rain will start. Sad, sad times :(

Daystar Clarion:

Well, I can't bloody well walk around naked now, can I?

That would be far too unbritish. Though, that hasn't stopped a lot of people in the park.

Also, now I really want a cup of tea. Cravendale best not have failed me.

At last we will have a drop here from 25C to 15C here.

I've been playing a lot of basketball, having a great time. Did some kayaking too, though I do that in all weather. At the moment I'm just sitting in the lawn drinking some Guinness. Will be red by the end of the day, but it's worth it.

Agreed.

When I'm cold, I can just put another layer on and I'm sorted.

But when it's hot?

Well, I can't bloody well walk around naked now, can I?

It's horrible Daystar, I've actually been forced to wear SHORTS!

I NEVER have to wear shorts!

As long as you're not forced to wear sandals, then it's okay.

Alas, I did have to break out the sandals on Saturday, but it was alright, my white cricket socks retained my decency.

Quite.

Wait, how hot is it in Britain at the moment? If you say anything below 30 degrees I'm officially banning your country from Summer. That's still jumper weather, not barbeque weather. Barbeque weather starts at around 38 degrees.

Though when It does get 'hot' in a country that has a proper summer, I tend to just laze around the house or do gardening. Occasionally go out and walk/meet up with mates for some drinks.
_{That's mainly because my laptop overheats in the summer... stupid European piece of crap...}

It's been absolutely horrid... can't look at anything white except through a brick wall... and being the heliophobe that I am, I swelter... tolerably, if barely.

However, it's given me lots of free icecream, since the bosses at work are generous.

The windows are wide open so that the wind from the fields goes straight through. The side effect being that I can barely see and every few minutes I'm incapacitated by fits of sneezing.

I wouldn't mind the heat and the general allergy to all things green usually but the fridge decided it had had enough too. Now we're having to keep the milk in the freezer. How is an Englishman supposed to make a proper cup of tea when the fridge refuses to co-operate? It's a bloody outrage.

On top of all that I got sunburnt on my arms and legs concreting the foundations for a shed, so now I'm walking around like some kind of half-man half-lobster thing.

Well at least I still have things that I can complain about.

Welp, right now my plans are to hope that the weather holds until Wednesday, when I go shopping with friends :D

I was in London last week. Unfortunately, the school didn't let me sit around on a terrace all that often. The weather is great back here in the Netherlands too, so I should probably get off the internet and enjoy it.

Daystar Clarion:
Are you bloody joking?

It's hot out there, you know.

And I'm not on holiday abroad, therefore I can't deal with this kind of heat.

*Sips tea*

Quite

Good idea, I should get myself some Ice Tea. Or is that considered some form of blasphemy in the UK?

No, no, no, more like abject heresy really.

Scotland wasn't meant to be this hot. We're not suited to basking in sunlight. It's unnatural.

Also, a pigeon flew into my flat yesterday though the perpetually wide-open windows, panicked and proceeded to crash into walls, doors, knock everything over, and generally make a mess. There were feathers fucking everywhere. Not cool.

I'm wondering where the hell the traditional welsh weather has gone. its unnatural not seeing a rain cloud in the sky in wales. And the heat is unbearable for me and my friends as we all sport beards and aproximatly 1 1/2 feet of extra hair and wear black.

This is the only time the country is at the Perfect Temperature apart from a freak 2 weeks in March where a spanish flume sucks all the warm weather from the continent. We should enjoy it for all it is worth.

People who like the cold aren't really people. They're some kind of otherkin.

The lawn isn't going to mow itself

Daystar Clarion:

I fucking hate summer -_-

It's not natural, I tells ya!

At times like this I can see the appeal of places like Siberia

I mean, how cold can it be?

Just put a thicker jumper on and you'll be fine.

Maybe even 2 pairs of socks if it's really cold.

It's so cold you'll be drinking ICE tea!

*Chugs beer*

Eee-yup!
