It seems as though that time of year is upon us once again, where families are making long drives to the coast, the smell of barbeque is in the air and people become brave enough to go out in shorts and T-shirt.
Is it just me or does this sunny summer weather come around earlier and earlier each year? What's even weirder is that, in Britain anyway, we have several weeks of really sunny weather early on, then it goes back to gloomy windy weather then summer comes back again. Its because of this that I think British people get enthusiastic really quickly when they see nice weather and try to plan outings and such as soon as they can because they know that the weather can change really quickly and that it could be a few months before its back again.
As someone who is more in favour of winter, I think thats a good way to put it, I quite like having these few early sunny days and then the return to normal weather until proper summer comes around. As it is nice to have some good weather days where you can go out, but you know that it will go back to normal for a while afterwards, instead of just having an extended summer where it can often stay very hot for a long time.
Saying all of this about how British people react, i'll just add that me and my family were also among these ranks of people, getting the BBQ out of hibernation last week to have our first BBQ of the year.
Thinking about this subject does make me think, what would happen if it actually was sunny and hot for long periods of the year in Britain? As I said because at the moment it's quite rare to have this weather and we tend to go all out and enjoy it whilst it lasts, what would we be like if it was always sunny, would we just get bored of it? Do people in Fluoride or Spain get tired of the sun and look forward to it raining?
Just a few little thoughts I had circling my head as I don't really have much to write about this week, as its the holidays and we've been at home most of the time finishing up work and such. I saying finishing up work, I mean to say attempting to finish work whilst instead watching multiple series of Lost. Still not entirely sure about what's going on in that programme.
