Here comes the sun. Now go away again.

Another lovely rainy morning. I say this without a trace of sarcasm - I love the rain. Not the pounding stuff which drenches you through inside a couple of minutes admittedly, but a gentle sprinkle with a cool breeze under cloud-covered skies is about as perfect as weather can get. The sun, you see, is terribly overrated. All that squinting and sweating and burning, it's all most unpleasant. I suspect that most people know this but, as with much else in life, there is a pressure to conform and they buckle under the weight of the assertion from the forecasts that hot weather is good and rainy weather is bad. There's no such thing as good weather and bad weather, there's just weather. And anyway, as celestial features go, the sun is a pretty dull one. Every day a big orange burning ball, big wow. At least the moon changes shape, and what's more it causes the tide. What does the sun do? Heats. Every day, heating, heating, heating. Some days a bit more, some days a bit less, but that's it - a one trick pony if ever there was one. The last time the sun did anything dramatic was the eclipse - when the moon got in front of it!

Sorry, if there was a scale of disagreement then I would be off it.

I am a summer junkie and love it. Everything is brighter, people are brighter and happier. Dull miserable drizzly days are depressing in the extreme.

I actaullly also like rain, but unlike you, I enjoy the thunderous deluge of the summer rain.

Dirty autumn with its dropping leaves and dampness - just gives a warning of long dark nights and cold.

You are welcome to it sir!

Spreading dark patch
I have spent the last seven months waiting for the sun to come back, and now that it's here, it's annoying me. At first, it was a nice novelty - the balcony can be used, I can sit outside and drink beer, I can fantasise about all the lovely relaxing su...
