It may be grim up North ...

[iranu]

but it's sodding miserable in Glasgow today
cold, wet, windy - uurgh

hehe - get used to it. When I was a student there I was always prepared mentally for the October to April season - horizontal rain and lots of wind all the time. April comes round and you sometimes get lovely hotspots with the rest of the year being suprisingly pleasant til October comes around.

I was SOAKED to the bone this morning. All my hair was dripping and it felt so refreshing for a change.

Light rain and chilly temeratures in Middlesbrough

[iranu]

oh yes forgot to mention Goretex - I think it's made in Shcotland. Absolute essential (or equivalent) as is a nice snuggly fleece.

hehe - get used to it.

I've lived here nigh on all my life (& I'm 1 of the older members here) - if I haven't got used to it by now i never will .

Thing is that I'm also convinced that it's getting wetter & windier each year ...

It's a bit nasty here in greater London today... Going to work wasn't too bad cos I drive, but go outside and I get blown away/soaked

Awoke several times during the night to hear it pouring down, too

Chopper into Bergen this morning from the platform, cold there but a nice cleary sunny day, frost still on the ground at 9:30.

Flew into Aberdeen at 13:30: raining. been raining since. flat is freezing after being away for two weeks (i'm cheap and switch everything off when i go away). just put the gas fire on. mmmmmmmm

good to be home

Soaked on the way into work and to top off a great start to the day Dumbarton Road is down a bus lane thanks to roadworks in Scotstoun.

I live near the Kingsway Flats, that's as much information as you're getting.

I have no idea what the weather is like there, but the last time I was totally soaked (probably in May), I opened my door and stripped to my tighty whiteys. My flatmates weren't too happy about it, but I was fine

[Workaholic]

Got soaked the other day whilst leaving the house, decided to go back and get a brolly but didn't need it all day.

Unlike today - pouring down every hour or so....
