Hello again world.

Arms are still sore.

Not good!!  It hurts to type!!

The weather here is pretty changeable, I live in Northern Ireland and we can have sunshine and showers, hail and thunder within the same hour sometimes!

Recently it has been raining.  That is perfectly normal.  It rains a lot here, that is why our countryside is so lovely and green.  However for a couple of weeks before that we had sun.  Actual sun.  With heat.  And I got used to it.  I want the sun back.  It was warm.  I got to sit outside to eat my breakfast.  I got to sit outside when I came home from work.  I got to go for walks and not get drenched.

Now it rains.  A lot.

And I don't really like it.  Because it is still a bit warm. 

So, conundrum time....how does one dress for warm, yet wet weather.

If I wear a coat I get hot and sweaty, cos it is too warm.  If I don't wear a coat I get drenched by the rain and look like an idiot.

I need to find something light enough to keep me cool, yet waterproof enough not to leave me looking like a drowned rat when it rains.  Any suggestions?

On a positive note, baby girl bought me a present yesterday.  Out of her own money, and it wasn't even my birthday.

I got a new pair of shoes.

It is Summer.

The weather is amazing, we actually have sunshine, and it is warm!  Miracles will never cease to happen.

I live in Northern Ireland and to be honest we don't see the sun that often.  We do, however have a lot of rain.  When it does happen all the pasty white legs come out on show.  Blokes take their tops off, let their beer bellies hang out and walk about with their t-shirts tucked into the back of their shorts.  Girls wear short short and vest tops. 

I just don't understand it.

Tho it is funny to see all the tangoed girls wandering around with bright orange feet.  :-)

As for myself, once it gets warm (for that one random week) I find it difficult trying to decide what to wear to work.  My usual work uniform is black trousers, black shoes, a top and a cardigan.  But its WAY too warm to be doing that.  So I wore a pair of camel coloured trousers a top and sandals yesterday.  Today I am wearing a dress.  And I have bare legs.  I know, its shocking isnt it!!

I am feeling all hot and bothered.  I cannot be annoyed with work.  I want to be sitting outside, walking on a beach, playing frisbee, attending a music festival.  Really anything other than being in work. 

What do you like to do when the weather is nice?

Two days off work and I forget that when I am here I am actually supposed to work!!

I have spent this morning checking Facebook, visiting all the blogs I follow and checking my e mail.

Anyone would think I don't have the internet at home, or on my phone!!

But anyhow!!

It is sunny here.

And warm.

And I spent yesterday sitting in the sun.

And I want to do it again today.

I do not want to be in work.

And so I procrastinate about actually doing work.

And faff about online.

And look out the window at the sunshine.

And feel depressed that I am not in it.

HMMMMMM

Maybe I could take a walk down to the garage?

Catch you later :-)
