Weather

In the last week the weather has been crap. Overcast skies, wet and certainly not warm.

Looking back on my blog at this time last year, on May 26th I wrote: "Dreadful weather here in Northwest London today. It's nearly summer. Why is this happening? I'm not sure if I can stomach another summer like last year's."

We all know how last year's summer turned out, and the one before that. This year I've read several articles in the papers about how it's going to be hot in 2009, and each time I've read this I've said that I'm not going to be holding my breath. Long-term weather forecasting is notoriously unreliable and more often than not just plain wrong, so if anything these forecasts of a hot summer have actually dented my hopes of having some sun.

Today it's the first of three days off for me and I'm looking out the window at yet more unacceptable weather. In less than two weeks it is going to be June, which is offically summer. What the hell is going on? Why can't we have normal summers any more? I thought global warming was meant to result in hotter weather. Maybe I'll go out the front and leave my car running for the day, that might help. And I'll go and squirt all my CFC aerosols into the air.

Daz, I know you're a fellow sufferer of SAD. What are your thoughts? You must be getting jittery by now over the prospect of ANOTHER shitty summer.

Hi there,

I'm emailing to ask if you're interested in exchange links with our racing tips blog. We specialise in analysing two year olds running over the flat.

Sure, let me know when you've put a link up and I'll pop one on here. I like the look of your site

Thanks very much. I've added your link to the site. I notice that your link text is quite short. Something like "Racing Tips", "HCE Tips" or "Horse Tips" would be fine.

Thanks,

Jason
