Gareth it's snowing in NYC today so I can't think about summer.

― hstencil, Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:22 (twenty-three years ago)

I have the twin highlights of SPRING (i.e. my birthday and going on holiday) to look forward to first and then let the Summertimes roll.

― Tom (Groke), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:25 (twenty-three years ago)

It's going to be another long hot summer in the U.S.

― Rockist Scientist, Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:26 (twenty-three years ago)

Are the polar ice caps going to melt?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:31 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope it will be a good one as well.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

That's the spirit Gareth! In a similiar positive thinking vein, I've started saying "The weekend is almost here" on Tuesday. This is my first week trying it but it seems to work. Summer is a step too far for me just yet, given that I had to negotiate large quantities of snow on unplowed sidewalks to get to work yesterday. Although, April *is* just around the corner...

― Minky Starshine (Minky Starshine), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:35 (twenty-three years ago)

Yesterday morning, I ended a work-related voicemail by saying, "Have a great weekend!" It wasn't until a few minutes later that I realized it was only Wednesday. Blah. But now it's Thursday, so I'm getting there ever-so-slowly.

It was so pretty out yesterday that when I got home I was able to go on a walk with my bf wearing SHORT SLEEVES! WOO HOO!!!

― Sarah MCLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:43 (twenty-three years ago)

It's nice and sunny today, I like it when there is still a chill in the air.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I start drinking Iced Coffee around now to try to appease the weather gods.

we are getting 8 inches!

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:47 (twenty-three years ago)

I predict the Aus/NZ element of ILX will wake up soon and tell us how lovely/warm/sunny it is today on the other side of the world.

― Madchen (Madchen), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:52 (twenty-three years ago)

Today is ruining my "March is rubbish because you think its Spring when in fact its as sole-destroyingly cold and miserable as the previous two months!" rant, which I've been looking forward to for months.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:54 (twenty-three years ago)

summer is here!

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:55 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you noticed how the weather is improving?
and there seems to be something touching everybody
and making them feel... fantastic?
and have you noticed how the sky is looking
so much bigger? ... oh yeah you can just tell something brilliant is about to happen...

I know you've been working hard
and you've got exams and that,
but if you've got some spare time,
it'd be smashing if you could come and stay round mine...
and maybe we could break into our old school
and spend ages just lying on the tennis courts
listening to the Boards of Canada...
Jeez, look at the time!

it was spring here yesterday but today it is raining but still warmish. I dont think I have ever had a good summer. My theme song is "cruel summer" by bannanrama.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:59 (twenty-three years ago)

but I dont want to sound bitchy.
I LOVE SPRING

Summertime and the living's easy. I can't wait!

This has been the longest winter EVAH.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 6 March 2003 16:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Summer is SO NOT here.

I'm not sure that I want it. Then again, my landlords are buying me an air conditioner! Yay!

― rosemary (rosemary), Thursday, 6 March 2003 16:08 (twenty-three years ago)

Yesterday felt like the perfect East Coast spring day. Too bad I was in Los Angeles.

Hard snow action.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 March 2003 16:55 (twenty-three years ago)

I kinda got a kick out of the forecast Tuesday night, they said:

"And look forward to a nice warm high in the mid-50s tomorrow..."

And it's funny 'cause, if this was LA, they'd be all like "brrrr, where's my coat?".

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Thursday, 6 March 2003 16:59 (twenty-three years ago)

I LOVE SPRING TOO!!! YAY!!!

― Sarah McL (coco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Presumably the point of the product is not that one would suddenly be able to hit people with ones cock, but rather, that the people would, for a change, notice that they were being hit!

Clearly worth every penny!

― Skottie, Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:04 (twenty-three years ago)

Skottie, You are screwing up my beautiful images of spring. That's right - SCREWING!

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:05 (twenty-three years ago)

I'm sorry! The flowers right before are, indeed, spectacular! I'm looking forward to some leaves and flowers too.

― Skottie, Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:07 (twenty-three years ago)

Here in Winnipeg where we get about 5 months of REAL winter (snow, cold, having to wear heavy coats), summer is looked forward to intensely. I'm very anxious to get to the beach, go hiking, drink beer outside while floating in a lake... THIS THREAD IS MAKING ME CRAZY!!! It's cold and snowing outside here! It'll be at least a month before spring will show up here!

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:10 (twenty-three years ago)

This leads us to the question

What Will The Feel Good Anthem of the Summer be this year?

― Jon Williams (ex machina), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I hope it's by t.A.T.u but I'm afraid they may have crested too soon.

― hstencil, Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:12 (twenty-three years ago)

Something from the new WIRE album!!! 'Agfers of Kodack' from Read & Burn 01 was my feel good anthem last summer, even though it's a song about a public execution, or something.

― Bryan (Bryan), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

the perpetual spring anthem is "spring" by st et. and for the less romantically inclined, you can sing "'you're too young to stay a fool' indoors".

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:15 (twenty-three years ago)

gareth, this year you will come to tomfest, that is all

ok tom when is it?

― gareth (gareth), Thursday, 6 March 2003 19:56 (twenty-three years ago)

Have you seen the BBC weather site? They claim to ACTUALLY PREDICT weather out for three months!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/weather/features/90day.shtml

And it warns of blocked patterns. So look out for that.

― N. (nickdastoor), Friday, 7 March 2003 05:34 (twenty-three years ago)

Well, Seattle's winter has turned out to be like a Seattle spring, except slightly colder. No snow this year at all. And the flowers are already blooming. It was supposed to be all stormy today, but just windy and blustery. I'm in for some bad weather karma in the future, I can just feel it.

Ice coffee is my favorite thing about summer. I was just thinking about drinking it today.

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 7 March 2003 11:21 (twenty-three years ago)

What's all this "another hot summer" talk? With the exception of the Glastonbury weekend and a couple of weeks in August it pretty much pissed down right the way through last summer, didn't it?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Friday, 7 March 2003 11:22 (twenty-three years ago)

yea matt, its actually an Adorable lyric;)

i would have used long otherwise (for me, its summer march-september regardless of temperature)

looks summery out there but i'm afraid to go outside. I might get in my car and run errands or something, spend money, how awful

one month passes...

How to make an office iced coffee:

1. go to kitchen
2. put coffee thingy in the coffee robot, place paper cup below
3. while coffee brews, take glass from cupboard, fill with ice, insert ice tea spoon (to conduct heat)
4. pour hot coffee into glass of ice, add half-and-half from fridge
5. go back to posting on ILE

― felicity (felicity), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 19:14 (twenty-two years ago)

sounds lovely, felicity.

Ever since my hershey's kiss in the hot cocoa mishap, I have been a lot less adventurous in the office kitchen.

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 19:19 (twenty-two years ago)

6. when boss walks up, spill coffee on self

i am going to make an iced coffee when i get home!; i kiss you, etc.

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 19:44 (twenty-two years ago)

insert ice tea spoon (to conduct heat) = brilliance!

― jess (dubplatestyle), Tuesday, 6 May 2003 21:48 (twenty-two years ago)

Mine too. Though it started out well, so I was on a roll. I'm looking forward to office grilled cheese and hoping it involves a hibachi.

Hey, maybe I can kill the thread again!

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Wednesday, 7 May 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

I had my first official ice coffee of the season today -- official because the weather was warm enough to warrant it in fact demand it. I wonder if that's why i'm still awake at 4am?

― Mary (Mary), Thursday, 8 May 2003 06:56 (twenty-two years ago)

three weeks pass...

God, it's glorious outside! I enjoyed my lunch hour so much, and felt so relaxed that I didn't even mind coming back to the office so much, and I'm still in a fantastic, almost spaced out world

― Vicky (Vicky), Thursday, 29 May 2003 11:34 (twenty-two years ago)

It's been raining and dreary here, but every once in a while, the storms let up and the sunshine makes me amazingly happy. I totally understand, Vicky.

It was in the uk, until yesterday. After such a promising spring too. I'm scared we're going to be lulled into a false sense of security though, and this is the best weather we're going to get all summer though.

(I touched wood, so it's not famous last words)

What ice cream do you currently have in your freezer? Or popsicles?

We've got this box of iceys from last summer (there were about 100 in there to begin with) along with a tub of lime sherbert and some freezer-burned vanilla ice cream that really should be thrown out.

Last night I had my first ice cream sandwhich in a long time. (the big square kind)

― Sarah McLUsky (coco), Friday, 20 June 2003 13:35 (twenty-two years ago)

We've got some Fab lollies & some Soleros. We did have some Magnums, but strangely they've all gone. *hides wrapper*

miloauckerman, I know how you feel. I absolutely know how you feel.

The only tolerable answer is to lock yourself up in your house/apartment and live the hermit's life until September's end, but then you'd still have to get things from the supermarket and I don't know of a single decent online grocer that does deliveries here in TX. (WTF? Do these companies not even get the supply/demand paradigm?)

God the one real thing I hate about the summer is that my apartment is on a corner and thus is pummelled by the sun in the morning, which means a season of waking up with the screaming necksweats.

Oh you poor thing you! ;)

I heard, though, that if you work outdoors, you get used to the conditions outside and thus really feel no reason to complain even if it's bitterly cold or approx. 105 degrees outside. Is that true or just a load of bollocks?

As for the tan -- well, if it works for you, hurrah. :)

get the frozen peas, i am praying for searing heat at glastonbury

― Ronan (Ronan), Thursday, 26 June 2003 05:42 (twenty-two years ago)

it's midnight and weather.com says it's 77 out there (it was in the 90s today). i hate the heat. i even wore shorts for the first time in years today. the good thing about san francisco is it only gets this hot about 6 days out of the whole year.

A new taste sensation just made up by someone I love: Jack & Coke float.

It's better than you think.

― luna (luna.c), Thursday, 26 June 2003 05:58 (twenty-two years ago)

The bedroom is the only safe room in our apartment because that's the one with the AC window unit. We need to buy one for the living room, but for now it's just like a war zone... If you want something that's in another room, you have to run to get it and get back in the bedroom fast before you melt.

Vodka plus coffee liquor plus vanilla haagen-dasz plus blender equals White Russian milkshake. Don't forget a straw...

― suzy (suzy), Thursday, 26 June 2003 12:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Well I woke up this morning and it was 80 degrees in my apt.

The local news freaks keep telling us clueless viewers how nice it is outside. It's 90 degrees and humid!

Those milkshakes = U+K

one month passes...

I just made a huge mug of ice coffee, aided by felicity's heat conduction methodology. Mmmm, ice coffee...

― Mr. Diamond (diamond), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:43 (twenty-two years ago)

It hailed today on my way back from lunch. :)

Mr Diamond! I was just thinking about reviving this thread myself. :)

dont let it suddenly become august!

gareth, I tried my best but it suddenly became August anyway! I think all this enjoying of summer has made it become August more suddenly rather than less so.

― felicity (felicity), Friday, 1 August 2003 19:52 (twenty-two years ago)

i'm so exhausted from enjoying the summer -- one more month to go then i can relax

― Mary (Mary), Friday, 1 August 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

four weeks pass...

did you let it pass you by?

― gareth (gareth), Sunday, 31 August 2003 16:35 (twenty-two years ago)

fraid so, hasn't been a great summer due to various things.

― jel -- (jel), Sunday, 31 August 2003 16:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, I think I did. The last few months haven't really happened for me and now it's nearly time to put Low Birth Weight back in my cd wallet.

i worked too hard. that said i have more time off at college and i will not let winter pass me by. i also have 3 weeks of my summer left as far as im concerned. there is always the sense of it passing you by though, like time itself.

― Ronan (Ronan), Monday, 1 September 2003 14:11 (twenty-two years ago)

i always let summer pass me by, it is a by-product of summer pressure, plus bad things always happen in summer, or things are not right. i never let winter pass me by.

― gareth (gareth), Monday, 1 September 2003 14:13 (twenty-two years ago)

There was one really shitty month of rain and migraines that kind of fucked everything up. It started well, though.

― s1utsky (slutsky), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 00:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Zuma sucked today (that's the beach we checked out Gareth), very Brighton!

However, September is the hottest month in L.A. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 00:52 (twenty-two years ago)

Beginning of Summer: Unbelievably, massively masochistic. Painful. Dreadful. Disastrously soppingly wet-type hot and humid misery.

Middle of Summer: Oh, look! Rain!

Nearing the End of Summer: Hey, whatever happened to the torture that is supposed to be August? Never mind that, I'm happy we're not the temporary People Stews we usually are right now. Yay!

― Just Deanna (Dee the Lurker), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:49 (twenty-two years ago)

Winter is now officially GONE here, hurray! Bring on the sun, maybe I'll be less depressed (I think sometimes I may have SAD). See, this is why I'm a crap goth ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:54 (twenty-two years ago)

I barely got any of my summer reading done, but that's because I was too busy doing more sociable activities with friends and stuff.

― A Nairn (moretap), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 01:58 (twenty-two years ago)

I didn't do everything I wanted, but I had a pretty good summer. And I am happy about the advent of late-summer/fall. Yesterday, I had warm coffee for the first time in ages.

― gabbneb (gabbneb), Tuesday, 2 September 2003 02:08 (twenty-two years ago)

I still have a rocking suntan and I haven't been away yet. I spent more time sitting in London parks in the sun than ever before. I went right up the full length of the Thames in a boat. I learnt to fly a kite. I overcame the fear of showing my legs in London. I discovered the wonder that is Charlton Lido.

I think I did quite well, considering.

four months pass...

Has anyone else been out this lunchtime? I was in a foul mood this morning, then I walked around Green Park and St James Park, listening to the Fiery Furnaces. You can see daffodils. People are sitting on the grass and smiling. For the first time this year I could feel the heat of the sun.

Even if the birds were standing on the ice on the lake, it felt like a new season. This winter was pretty shit, but that's okay. Boys and girls, we've turned the corner. Everything's going to be alright!

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 14:04 (twenty-two years ago)

i was going to revive this myself this afternoon, because it is here again, and i'm glad i'm not the only one to notice. and to think, there was snow on the ground yesterday, such a quick turnaround, but it was the last gasp of a finished winter, forlornly trying to stretch into march. i wont be wearing a big coat again until october

― gareth (gareth), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 14:12 (twenty-two years ago)

it wasn't that cold a winter. my room is still bloody freezing at night - and i have damp. we shouldn't live our lives just for the Summer tho - too much pressure.

Meanwhile, in Spain...

― stevem (blueski), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 14:16 (twenty-two years ago)

Sunday was lovely here. Mr Pumpkin and I took a drive up north and despite it being chilly the sun was warm and it looked like summer. I'm looking forward to the clocks changing so that it's lighter in the evenings too.

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 16:18 (twenty-two years ago)

It's true, I'd forgotten the sun could actually provide heat until today. A beautiful day. Shame I feel like shit. I wonder if the mysterious bulbs coming up in my 'garden' will actually develop flowers now, or if they're in fact some sort of mutant leek?

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 16:52 (twenty-two years ago)

I hope they are onions. The world needs more onions, especially of the red variety. P.S, is a shallot just a small onion?

― Rumpy Pumpkin (rumpypumpkin), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:07 (twenty-two years ago)

it's nice this week in nyc, in a way that seems more permanent than previous nice days. my hair curled up today from relative warmth and humidity. plus i'm getting the urge to sit on a stoop and drink malt liquor, which is a true barometer of seasonal change.

― lauren (laurenp), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The World is Just a Great Big Onion rumpy...

― smee (smee), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:08 (twenty-two years ago)

The first noticable heat from the sun is the first great milestone. The first outdoor beer is the next... I think that might have to wait a while though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:10 (twenty-two years ago)

"plus i'm getting the urge to sit on a stoop and drink malt liquor, which is a true barometer of seasonal change."

Haha, I totally do this all year round, and I live in freezing Milwaukee! But yeah, it's really nice out.

― kirsten (kirsten), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't think shallotts ARE just small onions. Although they are of the same family, obv.

― Archel (Archel), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 17:14 (twenty-two years ago)

One of the first signs of summer for me is people mowing their lawns in the evening.

already did that, although i dont think it really counts

the ground outside my apt is still frozen but i am spying new areas for my garden. and i collected a few medium-sized stones and piled them next to the door

Oh winter, I love you.

― jel -- (jel), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 19:26 (twenty-two years ago)

what about out of a bottle? for me, an outdoor beer means an outdoor 40oz of colt 45 (or lazer, if i'm short on cash).

haha oh the first outdoor beer, that probably was about my fiftieth, I am a fucking scumbag though, the local park is too often an option, it reminds us of being 14.

I can't wait for some weather. my room is freezing lately, I wake early.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 2 March 2004 22:19 (twenty-two years ago)

― Trayce (trayce), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 01:45 (twenty-two years ago)

eh, we've already had a few 80F days this year. I don't know what it's like for the sun not to be hot.

― Viva La Sam (thatgirl), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 02:25 (twenty-two years ago)

The first outdoor beer is only the first outdoor beer if you buy it in a pub and then take it outside, people.

I might make an exception for poncey cafes as well.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:22 (twenty-two years ago)

bottles outside are acceptable unlike minging cans, tho those 40s sure seem ostentatious to the mild-mannered English gentlefolk

― stevem (blueski), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:25 (twenty-two years ago)

I like poncey cafes. Standing in an alley or on a narrow street beside a pub doesn't really feel like and outside beer to me. I'm used to the Canadian 'beer on a patio' obsession, which always involves sitting. I bet they've already started opening patios up back in Toronto now that it's a few degrees above zero...

― Rob Bolton (Rob Bolton), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:32 (twenty-two years ago)

The beer garden is your friend, Robert.

Is that what you lot call them? I suppose it is a very accurate term. I like beer. I like gardens.

One of the happiest moments of my life was the day after A-Levels finished when I sat in an outdoor jacuzzi all afternoon with two girls drinking cans of lager. I think about that day a lot.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 13:50 (twenty-two years ago)

Eh, I've disinterred the factor 25 sunscreen and will be applying it morning and noon from now on in. I kind of like summer though. My office is more or less bearable today because there's a big open window and a bit of a breeze, but heaven help me and the Finn if there's a still day and the temperature stays up.

Sunday, I finished work and went for a drink with some friends, friends I see more now I work in the city centre, we had a beer outside, and then another one, then we went and had some indonesian food, and more beer, and then went to Erol Alkan to see Erol Alkan but also to give out CDs and flyers for our clubnight.

I have to say I got a definite sense of not letting it pass me by. I was going to text charltonlido but I think I forgot.

Erol was great and I met at least one new old person I hope I'll be seeing more of in the near future.

― Ronan (Ronan), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 11:04 (twenty-one years ago)

Who was it who said "Everyone talks about the weather, but noone does anything about it." I am thinking Teddy Roosevelt? But I might be wrong.
Anyway, in New England the locals say "Don't like the weather? Wait a few minutes - it'll change."
56 degrees farenheit yesterday - ninety tomorrow. Literally.

― aimurchie, Tuesday, 8 June 2004 11:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I am in Hell.

― poop (poop), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 19:46 (twenty-one years ago)

We have this window unit air conditioner that we hauled from Richmond to Chicago when we moved, and I've been waiting to put it in the bedroom window when it got really hot, and then I recently realized that our bedroom window has this burglarproofing thing where you can't open it more than 4 inches. LAME!

― NA (Nick A.), Tuesday, 8 June 2004 19:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I've been having this vague feeling that its been passing me by, and then I realised there has been nothing to pass me by in the first place.

I'm getting the September Back To School feeling. Also it looks DARK outside.

october is going to be excellent.

No it's not. I have to go back to university and learn about cataloguing.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

heatwave = going to the park, sit on a hill.

fuck-off storms = run in the rain getting soaked for fun.

― ken c (ken c), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:13 (twenty-one years ago)

summer has little less than a month left to make up for all the suckiness - somehow I don't think it'll pull this one off.

I've had a pretty decent summer. Autumn is shaping up quite nicely as well although it's nothing to do with the weather.

― robster (robster), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Euro2004 was fun though. That four week period, from moving into my new flat on the first day of the tournament to getting back from Denmark the day after the final neatly encapsulates all this summer's best moments. Even if it did rain for almost all of it.

I think I have artificially high expectations of summer now that I can no longer afford to go on glorious three week holidays.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

Rocktober was the best month of last year though.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

This summer was actually not hot at all. How disappointing.

The weather was really great actually: Not as hot as previous years (this is a positive for me) but warm, and then these short storms (some more of the same today), can't remember anything like it.

Liked the novelty of it.

― Julio Desouza (jdesouza), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:23 (twenty-one years ago)

I don't like the autumn :( It gets all dark early and cold and stupid.

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Typical British over-reaction. It's been a fab Summer and the weather's been mostly good. I've had bad luck with heavy rain since the Spring tho.

― the neurotic awakening of s (blueski), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:28 (twenty-one years ago)

I think I would be happier with the British weather if I'd been away somewhere consistently hot and sunny. Or been away anywhere at all. It was lovely and hot in Cambridge though, I was glad about that.

― Archel (Archel), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 15:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I got fucking drenched walking to the tube after work. The rain was so heavy that the pavements were like rivers, my umbrella protected part of me but my lower legs and left arm were soaked through in about two seconds. Then of course it pretty much stopped just as I was reaching the tube station - I could have waited five minutes and been dry.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:16 (twenty-one years ago)

Best summer weather evah. The ILXors who are new to Chicago this year are in for a rude awakening come next June. Or maybe, hopefully, not.

― oops (Oops), Wednesday, 25 August 2004 16:18 (twenty-one years ago)

Julio OTM!

Lauren and Ken OTM too.

I am looking forward to the Autumn.

I got caught in the storm yesterday, I didn't mind. I even sheltered in a shop doorway.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I got a shiver when Matt mentioned the back to school feeling. I've said before somewhere on ILE that autumn fills me with a kind of magic - some sort of tingly nostalgia, an anticiaption of warm fires, cosy jumpers, snuggling together for warmth, the bleak beauty of January. I'm not actively looking forward to it, but the fading light and the falling temperatures do something strangely wonderful to me.

(hear me fucking moan by december, though - and it's going to be a cold winter this year, especially as the earth hasn't absorbed nearly as much heat to radiate back into the atmosphere over the next few months)

― Markelby (Mark C), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:55 (twenty-one years ago)

It'll certainly be muddy this year.

September is new year.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 26 August 2004 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I think autumn has taken on a new excitement since college and university - it meant GOING BACK - after the blowout of the summer there was the blowout of Fresher's Week, the promise of new friends and sudden change and renewal.

I was in a good mood this morning, and wanted to walk around Green Park and St James Park, listening to the Vitalic album. Its still freezing cold and pissing with rain.

Is it really a year since I revived this thread? This time 12 months ago Spring was finally in the air. Come on 2005, you are being lapped by your largely-shitty predecessor! Don't let it pass you by!

In comparison, 2004 peaked too early and fizzled out. It may be ahead on this year now but its a marathon, not a sprint. I'm sure 2005 is merely conserving its energy.

I get one of those haircuts where you get to keep your longish hairstyle, but they make it look neater. Paradoxically, I think this will cost more than a usual short back and sides. I'm sick of the ebb and flow of hair growing.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Saturday, 25 June 2005 14:10 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I haven't slept properly, either. Both today and yesterday morning I've woken up early and been unable to get back to sleep. This is shaping up to be the hottest summer I've spent in Chicago (last five years).

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 25 June 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

I actually woke up in the middle of the night and had to splash water on my face.

― jaymc (jaymc), Saturday, 25 June 2005 14:34 (twenty years ago)

Yeah, I got up at five to smoke two cigarettes (on the perhaps totally false assumption that this will help me sleep) and eat nearly a whole tray of ice cubes. Ice cubes work. But in my early-morning stumbling, I left the freezer door cracked open, and four hours later when I got up there was water on the kitchen floor. Fortunately, most of it was absorbed by a bag or rice that was on the floor next to the fridge. The rice is ruined, but nothing else is.

Anyway, point is, it's fucking hot.

― Paunchy Stratego (kenan), Saturday, 25 June 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

God, it's so hot. I haven't been this tan since I was a little kid. I just went out and bought sundresses (SUNDRESSES!) and over the weekend, I wore shorts for the first time since high school cross country practice. I look like a really tan, white-blonde, sundress-wearing, enormous-sunglassed person-who-is-not-me.
My boyfriend and I were camping over the weekend for my birthday, and sleeping in a sun-soaking tent was almost unbearable. We had a good storm on Saturday night, but it did little to decrease the humidity. I feel like I am breathing out of somebody's armpit.

It is March and snowing but I am beating the rush and going ahead with starting to dread summer now. Summer is pure hell, except for the precious A/C that brings a little taste of February into August. Give me 24 degrees (-5 Celcius?) with Chicago winds and snow any day over summer.

I used to live 200 yds away from the river - I've just been out and it's more like 100 yds now!

There are no trains or buses running here - my son is currently walking 6 miles home from school in Kingston because all transport is off. He reports knee-deep water in Kingston and all shops flooded.

I have just discovered that my kitchen is wet through - the rain has forced its way through the (completely-closed) windows in the roof. Not good.

Ha ha, I just heard that someone in the basement left a window open, and the water poured in through it like a biblical flood, and that's what set the alarms all off. The lifts aren't working, either.

I was wondering where the flood came from, as we're nowhere near the Fleet or the Old Bourne.

I heard an owl in the night and it had a drawling and lazy hoot. I jumped out of bed, who could mistake that subtle shift in tenor? A summer hoot!

I looked out the window and met its gaze and I knew that he knew. He didn't wink, he didn't even need to.

I don't understand all - or even a fraction - but his gaze, could it have implied.. less rain this year. Or did it just mean "don't think about the rain...its a mere tangent". Perhaps it will become clearer as it opens

It's not really the temperature, it's the humidity and pressure that makes it uncomfortable.

suddenly felt rly shit today, rapid onset of warm weather aggravates migraines :x

saturday two weeks ago was about 8C, w/ cold northeastely winds and rain, today it's 25C w/ 55% humidity at 8pm

This weekend was pretty fucking awesome. We're overdue a good summer, haven't had one for four years. Although last year's wasn't that bad.

I slept with the balcony doors open! Love having what is basically an extra room when the weather is like this.

2003 didn't get this warm so early

― nakhchivan, Monday, 24 May 2010 09:24 (fifteen years ago)

loving the hell out of this - not just baking in the daytime but being able to be outside at night and be warm as well!

think i need to invest in a mosquito net or something, it's that thing of wanting to have your bedroom window wide open at night but not necessarily to have it full of light-seeking insectile things.

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 24 May 2010 09:26 (fifteen years ago)

this isn't early to get warm, wintry cold has been a lot more tenacious this year than usually

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 24 May 2010 09:26 (fifteen years ago)

Yeah come on we've just had the coldest British winter in 30 years!

2003 was the best summer I can remember in London, it seemed to be consistently warm for about three months. 2006 was pretty wonderful as well. 07 and 08 can eat a bag of dicks.

I started cutting back my garden at the weekend, and then my housemate brought his stoner friend round, who was immediately all "can I have a go?" He then didn't stop for about an hour. Garden now looks amazing. Stoner labour = awesome.

Where in London can I buy reasonably priced DECKCHAIRS? It has become necessary.

― The Men Who Stare At Goatse (Matt DC), Monday, 24 May 2010 09:29 (fifteen years ago)

Lex! Come into town!

My big project for today is making enough ice to fill a freezer drawer so clearly I need distractions, as it is too warm in the day to make the cream cheese brownies my local coffee place would like me to start making for them.

MDC, try Argos and work your way up if they can't furnish one you'd be happy to own. Robert Dyas sometimes have them on seasonal offer.

― when the fertilizer hits the ventilator (suzy), Monday, 24 May 2010 09:31 (fifteen years ago)

today is forecast 30C in london which is fairly unusual in may, 2003 was the last year temperatures got near this

may well do suzy - got some work to polish off before it gets too hot to think, will bell you in a bit if it goes well

that marbling pattern does look rly nice

shall mostly be living off frozen yoghurt and strawberry smoothies i think, maybe some cold jersey potatoes too

― nakhchivan, Monday, 24 May 2010 09:44 (fifteen years ago)

potato salad is such a great summer food. also, i find cucumbers totally cooling - literally cutting off a quarter of it and munching it as though it were a chocolate bar.

― لوووووووووووووووووووول (lex pretend), Monday, 24 May 2010 09:48 (fifteen years ago)

30 in May, oof. But iirc the last two years were all glorious/way too hot (delete to taste) this time of year, prompting declarations of how roasting the summer was going to be, and then come June it went grey and pissed it down for 3 months. Waiting to see if it makes it 3 years in a row and declare it the new climate-changed pattern if it does.

It's pretty nice weather to look at and be indoors in but this is too hot for me really, and yes I do know most countries get it way hotter, but still. Gingers were not built for hot weather. Had a thumping headache almost every day for the past week.

Cheers for that link, nakhchivan. Having a bit of geeky work-avoidance looking at historical weather data now.

^^ This is what has been unavailable in London the last four years. I forgot what it was like. In New York you get like three solid months of HOT NIGHTS.

I am in an office where the air does not move and I feel like my head has tied itself in a large and very tight knot right between my eyes

this is weather for sitting in the shade, in a breeze, somewhere where you can see the outside, holding a long, ice-cold alcoholic drink

office kind of failing me on all counts except "shade" and it doesn't feel much like that under all the permanently-on striplights

― atoms breaking heart (a passing spacecadet), Monday, 24 May 2010 13:52 (fifteen years ago)

despite or at least before this weekend i'm pretty sure this was a cooler-than-average May. unfortunately my room is now stupidly hot all the time and not just because windows face the morning sun. worth it tho.

― mdskltr (blueski), Monday, 24 May 2010 14:31 (fifteen years ago)

It's pretty nice weather to look at and be indoors in

I just got back in from trudging around in this. Notes:

1) sitting on the back seat of a bus with all the windows open is k-cooling, albeit like sitting in a wind tunnel
2) Cherry Lucozade is very nice cold but in this heat turns into a lukewarm chemical soup in next to no time

― he speak the frenche as the Frenches himselves (snoball), Monday, 24 May 2010 14:55 (fifteen years ago)

I'm cool with the heat but I get sleepy easier. I can't lie prone in my apartment for more than 10 minutes without dozing off.

Today was lovely. Went for a walk out to Woolwich at about 5 o'clock and it was warm, showery and windy. Walking back across the common I was blown all over, listening to the trees whooshing in the wind. Some kids lit a fire in the grass and the fire brigade came.

― Matt DC, Saturday, 10 July 2010 14:14 (fifteen years ago)

Right now is pretty damn perfect, warm but not too hot with a nice breeze, but I am not a hot weather person, so if it reaches the 29 degrees promised for late afternoon by the weather forecast then I will be grumpy.

(Last night was meant to be still over 20 at 4am! Very glad it wasn't.)
