Summer!

Im happier when it's cooler for sure, but that doesn't make it cooler. It just means summer has to be the "off season" for hard exercise. 

Do seem to genuinely struggle with heat and get nauseous quicker than I'm comfortable with when exercising. Doesn't help my nearest decent sized hills get bugged out with swarms of flies.

I do bloody love being out in the hills over winter, so it balances out against those that hate the wet and cold I guess.

I like hot weather and cold frosty or snowy weather. I don’t really enjoy endless bland drizzle.  Pity really, living in SW Wales. I always feel envious of people living where you get proper summers and proper winters.  I suspect the reality is different and that perfect seasonal climate is a rare thing.

40 odd degrees down the hill and sweaty warm in the mountains. A few days of Summer were always on the unpleasant side of hot in these parts but now it's a few weeks. I spent thursday painting some of the tarmac drive white so it doesn't get so hot.

Suffolk.  Yes, I know it’s one of the driest parts of the country and one of the reasons I live here, but with barely a splash since March am I allowed to say I’m getting a bit bored of it?  Bring back seasons.

Somewhat off-topic, but does anyone know why Héloïse Adélaïde Letissier, better known as Christine (and the Queens) changed her name to "Redcar"?  Whatever next - "Skinningrove - the artist formerly known as Taylor Swift"?

After his mother died he kept seeing red cars and saw it as a sign or somthing so adopted Redcar. A few years earlier he tried an arab sounding name but that didn't go down well.
