The colin_p appreciation summer sun and storm thread 2024
Discussion
Well we are finally there - 20 degrees is forecast in London tomorrow.
We don't know where Colin is, he's disappeared before for long periods - but I thought naming the thread like this was a pleasant nod to Colin without drawing a line under him.
Of course, Colin would hate the warmth the rest of us are craving
Here's to a great summer...

If Colin is miserable then I’m happy!
Not sure I see any summer yet - it’s the same incessant rain we have had here since June 29th last year.
I took advantage of a break in the deluge yesterday to try and salvage what was once a lawn but is now a swamp in my front garden. Halfway through scarifying it…. The heavens opened.
My prediction: wettest summer ever. Effectively no summer.
At least it’ll be my last in this godforsaken, sodden, waterscape.

Our Colin? Kicking off? Shirley not.
Was nice enough here, in NP&E not so much. 
Couldn’t believe it was the same account

The weather will be very confused for the forseeable future for two reasons...
1, I have fitted new wiper blades to the car which will mean no rain.
But
2, Delivery of my new bike leathers is imminent which means loads of rain.
Ah! But I’ve just had an operation on my hand - therefore I cannot ride my motorbikes, MTB, garden, or drive. I predict 35c temperatures and blazing sun in Lancashire for the next two weeks. 1, I have fitted new wiper blades to the car which will mean no rain.
But
2, Delivery of my new bike leathers is imminent which means loads of rain.
Checking in on this futile thread 
Actually, all doom and gloom aside, I went out this morning and it really does feel significantly warmer than it has.
Of course, as it’s getting later in the year I really shouldn’t be surprised at that, but it really has been miserable until now.
It’s still absolutely sodden, and I haven’t even yet thought about putting the potatoes or onions in, or sowing the sweet peas and tomatoes on the windowsill
