nineveh_ukI am fed up of the rain. I am fed up of the cold between the rain. I am also fed up of the warmth during lighter rain that makes a mockery of the fact that one is dressed for the cold and the rain.
I am likewise fed up of my winter work clothes, which with the exception of the deep winter thick wools, I am still wearing. I am fed up of black boots, black shoes, black skirts, black jackets, black socks, you name it. For light relief, I also have navy blue trousers.
I know we need the rain, but couldn’t it have fallen in February? February is a lost cause in the UK however relatively good the weather, so we might as well get the rain over with then.

Hottest April on record. May shaping up to be the same.
Deep thick winter wools? What does that mean?

I've just looked at the forecast and smugness seems entirely reasonable. Given the speed of sound, the noise of my envious muttering should reach you later this morning.

The sort of very warm wool clothing you wear to work in the middle of winter in a Georgian building with single-glazed sash windows with lots of panels in them, a glass cupola, and a heating system that refuses to reach the top floor. Lined wool flannel trousers, knee-length wool jersey coat. That sort of thing. I am still wearing the wool jackets and finer wool jumpers, just not in three layers.
