It’s actually driving me slightly insane now. :-(
Yet more evidence of your essentially peasant nature.
You're like Jean de Florette. Sans hump.
Enjoy the beautiful sunshine, lamb. Take some vitamin d and turn your skin a different colour to its usual hue, pantone name 'dought dead flesh'. Wear a linen suit and espadrilles, serve salads under a wisteria-shadowed pergola, get to truly enjoy a cold, cold beer.
We'll have 9 months of your damp, grey Irishness to endure. Can you not allow us a brief period od basking in th warmth?
I saw on your Channel 4 news last night that some boffin with a huge forehead has stated that these weather conditions will be the norm in time, 2050 perhaps.
You and I will both be dead by this time so of little consequence.
I quite like the hot weather though. Sitting in the garden, cold beer, Style Council perhaps in the background, looking at my straw yellow back garden.
I stayed in a Travelodge last night & it was the hottest place I have ever been in my life. Window didn't open, no AC, the provided a fan but the lead was so short that I couldn't get it that close to the bed.
The lack of sleep & drink that was taken has left me most irritable.
We have a yellow weather warning for rain.
Not sure what exactly it means other than it is going to rain.
I know.
But in the old days, once it hits 47, it then pissed down, which was a blessed relief.
But now, while it still monsoons down everywhere else, it doesn't in Delhi.
It's the pollution. That's why the Lankan cricket team were retching up. They have literally fücked with nature. It was great in the early noughties, they switched all the busses and richshaws to CNG. They smog went. But now it's back and ten times worse because of economic progress. The newly wealthy Delhi middle class want and will have cars.
I just miss the old monsoon.
Though if I were a newly middle class Indian, I might think differently.
It is probably the only place I have been where I really couldnt cope with the heat at all. 5-10 minutes in the direct sunlight and my head felt like it was on fire and I would have to piss off back inside.
Having travelled round it a few times I can't say India is a country I have ever warmed to. Too ****ing hot, too stressful to get around and the driving is just unbelievable.
It's raining in the old parish of St Giles.
