Oh - ha ha

by EllieGant @ 01/07/2009 – 00:08:47

So I fell for it. All that shutyerdoors-closeyerwindows-preparetodieofheatstroke crap.

I got up this morning, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt for the dog walk - and raindrops fell on my head.

But only a few, and it was muggy and glimpses of blue sky could be seen.

So - still believing - I did three loads of washing. Duvets, towels, winter clothes to put away...

And then it rained. And rained. And rained a bit more. All afternoon.

Result - a house in which every surface is festooned with damp washing.

NOT EVERYONE HAS A WIMBLEDON ROOF OVER THE GARDEN, YOU KNOW!

Oh dearie me (or should that be dearie you?) I bet there's a lovely rainbow over your house

It won't make you feel better if I tell you it's been scorching over here.

  Not even a rainbow to make up for it - just grey sweatiness.
  
  Today started off lovely - but now we are back to grey sweatiness again. Pah!

      It came good in the end - except I didn't slap enough suncream on.

A few drops of rain here too and drops in temperature. It is supposed to be 27 C again later today. I hope the sun comes out soon to help you dry your washing

  Yes, we had a lovely morning, though it's clouded over again now. Just got to remember to dash out to get the dry washing in if it starts raining again. x

  Sounds a bit too hot for me - yes, I know there's no pleasing some people!
  
  Had a nice morning today though.

It is bloody raining here as well, it did it yesterday and is at it already today too - is muggy though. Sodding weather drives me insane - hope today is a better day for you there x

  It was better this morning but, like you must be, I am thinking positive forthcoming holiday thoughts to offset the now awful grey mugginess. x

Poor Ellie - I do hate that feeling when you have put out your washing and then it pours down.

However it is sweltering in sweaty London. I know I'm gloating now when I say, yesterday I put out two lots of washing and both were dry within half an hour!!!!!!

Half an hour!!! Gloat, preen, gloat!

Still the bedroom was like a turkish sauna even with all the windows open and the fan on all night.

  I think I had your yesterday today instead. The one consolation is that living by the sea we managed to get a bit of a cooling breeze last night so the room only managed to reach English sauna status

Oh.. I thought every one had one of those plastic roofs that magically appeared when it rained.. I must be blessed!!

Its been lovely here today.. If not a little muggy and sticky. Could do with some rain to clear the air though.. Hope it improves so you can dry ya washing hun.. Nothing worse than wet knickers x

  I'd settle for a conservatory! Yes, it was lovely here this morning too - and the sun has just reappeared. Shame I've got to do the ironing now x

      Loonylympics sounds fun - I stayed out in the garden most of the day doing some clearing up. XX

  Isn't it just? Still, I gather that rather refreshing little rainfall we just had was nothing compared to what's coming so I am forewarned. No more washing for me until the autumn ....

    Ah but then it'll get soaked through from the snow.......

Never listen to weather forecasts!

Hope you managed to dry some of that washing!
