In The Summertime

The British weather..., what can I tell you about the British weather (that you don't already know, that is)? While I was living with my parents, down at the seaside, it was sunny. In fact, sometimes it was so sunny that my Arabic students complained about the heat. Now that may have had more to do with there being not air-conditioning than anything else but...

Since I've moved to Winchester, it has either rained, threatened to rain or just been damp. I've been soaked, sweaty and just plain damp myself - and it hasn't been fun. I don't mind the rain (although I prefer the sun) but I do object to the continuous presence of water. Not only does it mean my towels don't dry properly after my morning shower but worse than that, my hair is a mess!

Bring back the proper British summer, that's what I say!
