Me …… November.

October – can be nice weather (like this year)
November – wet, bloody miserable and nothing going for it
December – Xmas
January – Hopefully cold and crisp, spring is on it’s way
Feb – Spring is closer still (and it’s a short month)
March – stuff starts growing
April to Sept – spring/summer so all is good with the world.

Depends where I am, it’s possible to be miserable all year round 😉

August, i have to buy the wife birthday presents and wedding anniversary presents !

Definitely November it’s got nothing going for it

august, September and October have been a complete bastard for me this year…………but I normally embrace all the seasons with open arms.

Jan and Feb is a close second.

I don’t really like Xmas, but at least the hump is buried in there and I will admit it’s nice to have some time off work when everyone else is off, not that I get much these days.

Jan just sucks arse though, cold, dark, miserable and wet, the only positive thing about it is that if I look at the charts I can get the days are getting a bit longer, Feb can really go either way, sometimes the weather is worse than Jan.

October probably, it’s got no flavour of its own so I just end up noticing the crap bits of other months- the weather’s not that bad but it tends to feel worse, there’s still undergrowth overgrowth which I hate, and I’m not adapted to it yet so everything feels worse than yesterday. (also, quite a lot of our trails are in the crappy transition stage where the dust and hard dirt is collapsing into shitty mud, it improves as winter goes on)

But mostly, because it’s a crappy compromise month I’m never adapted to it. November I’m fine with because it doesn’t tend to muck about.

January, it’s a dark, long and dirty month.

November.

I was born in November.

Each one that comes around reminds me I’m another year older.

and that you have to turn the heating on……….. 😆

Definitely November. To my recollection its always rain of varying degrees and darkness. Utterly miserable.

Feb can be tough.

Freezing cold, wet and muddy everywhere and the novelty has long worn off.

January. Xmas has come and gone, invariably skint, usually rubbish weather.

On a more positive note, April is my fav. Warmer, lighter and normally drier.

Yep Jan for me too, closely followed by Feb, for all those reasons above. However, I had a weeks skiing last Jan which was so enjoyable, I’m doing it again this year. Great time to have a week away….if you can afford it!

March.

No chance of snow or frost or winter prettiness, still ages til it gets warm and the leaves come out, all we get is storms, wind, and crap. Sure stuff starts growing, but all you get is some shitty daffodils, then they die and nothing else happens. Even then the whole word is muddy and dead, a few foolhardy flowers pushing up does nothing for me. Who the hell do they expect to be around pollenating them anyway.

November and February, which is why I try to spend both abroad. It was 36C yesterday…

haha, I don’t have a most disliked month because:

May: 2 weeks of Summer
June-April: wet, bloody miserable and nothing going for it

Therefore May is my favourite month and I dislike all the others equally.

March.

BST kicks in in March….definitely something to look forward to!

February

I generally detest this time of year and am usually in a foul mood until the last couple of weeks of February.

I was out on Saturday after a two week break from the trails. The covering of leaves has slowed everything down hugely, so making progress comes down to stamina and willpower. Add wet, green chalk into the mix and you’ll be wistfully daydreaming of dusty summer trails in no time.

Having said that, bikes are ace and I’d rather be outside for a couple of hours in the freezing, slippery mud than staring out of a grey-tinged window.

Is it Spring yet?

Feb usually clinging on for dear life by then.

I love them all!

Probably December, seeing family at Christmas is great but build up is a nightmare of gift buying stress and crowds. Jan-March is skiing so the thought of a trip or two always brightens the spirit. Riding wise I generally did more in winter than summer as was always busy with sailing in the summer months. Each of the seaons offers something and autumn is a lovely time of year. When I lived in Singapore the biggest negative was the same weather and sun rise/set all year round. That and too hot.

Washtember.

February.

shite weather, dark, skint. All i can remember is that last 18months of winter, spring and summer still bloody ages away. And yes, the changing of the calendar is a stark reminder that i’m another year older, but somehow further away from the life i want.

And because of my stupid RP accent, I can’t even pronounce the word properly.

(‘Febwhe-eh’ is about as close i can get)

BST kicks in in March….definitely something to look forward to!

Yeah but that’s near the end.

December – humbug.

Aside from actual Christmas spent with family, it’s hideous bombardment of commercial Christmas tat. Bad enough ramping up to it in October and November but can at least avoid much of it. December just can’t watch TV, go into any shops or even go into work without “festive” bollox going on. And don’t get me started on work Christmas do’s! and then there’s bloody “everyone get pissed and act like t**ts just because a number rolls over on the calendar” to look forward to 👿

😛

December. Darkest of the wettest dark.

July is often most disappointing, though.

January – christmas is over and suddenly there it is five weeks of blackness with no money and loads of work and rain, lots of rain.

Yeah but it still might snow. That keeps me going in Jan/Feb.

Jan, Feb & Mar.

Still dark.
Still cold.
Still wet.

Winter basically..

Nothing really perks up till April IMHO.

January. Lots of people give up drinking in January, but I can’t think of a worse month to do it in.

November runs it very close for crapness.

December – or at least, the bit up to Xmas Eve.

Gets darker, colder and wetter.

Too many people old enough to know better getting hyped over Christmas, which generates a raft of extra events to fit in as a family, which this year includes 5 music concerts, 2 school musical productions, 3 Scout/Guide/Brownie Christmas events, plus I lose 3 evenings a week and two weekends coordinating our Scout Christmas fundraiser as every other bugger is “busy”!

Don’t begrudge any of it, but just so glad when it is over.

Oh and bloody Secret Santa at work. Yes, just had the email. Stuff that.

January is great. Days getting longer, no family/work events, no Christmas bollox, so it’s loads of time for riding and people have new bikes 😀 , and we’re into ski season. If lucky, may even get snow on the trails.

November here . Snow hasn’t come but it’s icey and very cold. Kind of neither here nor there month

January for me, I reckon. Cold, wet, dark & spent loads of money over Christmas so always stretching it by payday in Jan 😆

Nov comes a close second in terms of the weather & general meh feel about the whole thing!!

Oktember

March. Winter’s gone on too long, the days are getting longer but it’s still cold and windy.

July.

I love Autumn and Winter.

Feb can be tough.

Freezing cold, wet and muddy everywhere and the novelty has long worn off.

This. Without a doubt.
