April 28, 201610 yr cracking the flags here in the shires, there was a thick frost this morning though
April 28, 201610 yr Was almost tempted to put the office heating back on!! Ran downstairs, made a brew instead.
April 28, 201610 yr Is the north atlantic drift actually slowing as scientists said it might? It's too cold. Stove going on again instead of open windows letting in Spring warmth.

Very rarely the weather is unworkable for us. It was this afternoon. It was as bad as anything we've seen this winter. The seasons are changing without a doubt. This isn't fucking normal.
April 28, 201610 yr Was almost tempted to put the office heating back on!! Ran downstairs, made a brew instead. You ran?

This isn't fucking normal. Walked to the local shop last night around 10:30pm - it was like an early December evening... It's worse than 2012/2013 when Winter stretched into mid-April... For me, my project 'Fuck off for Six Months of the Year'* is definitely going to get brought forward by five years if this carries on * Which has no practical and applicable solutions at present, just vague plans regarding destinations where I'd fuck off to Edited April 28, 201610 yr by Youri McAnespie
April 28, 201610 yr Misty this morning in East Yorkshire but cleared now Which probably means drivers will be going around with their fog lights on for the next two weeks
April 28, 201610 yr Very rarely the weather is unworkable for us. It was this afternoon. It was as bad as anything we've seen this winter. The seasons are changing without a doubt. This isn't fucking normal. It's fucking me up somewhat. Some folk's grass is doing well, others is still in bed. Some lawns are still sopping. I think you said a while ago that we'd have a good summer, I'm still in agreement, but it had better hurry up. Currently having a tasty thunder storm and the hailstones have hurried my veggy plants. Twats.
April 29, 201610 yr cracking the flags here in the shires, there was a thick frost this morning though Hope you enjoyed it That was our summer
April 29, 201610 yr I've had to leave my motorbike in the garage and come to work in the car, 2nd time in 12 months, it will add at least half an hour on to my journey home because Leigh is gridlocked from 4.00 o'clock, this is worse than December
April 29, 201610 yr Author Just had to abort mission half way through Nellie Deanes. Like someone firing marbles at my face using a bazooka.
April 29, 201610 yr Mowed the lawn last week in a t shirt, inch of snow on the lawn today, crazy weather in Bolton.It takes me back to 1979 and the snowstorm on May 1 at the Bolton v Liverpool match.
April 29, 201610 yr This is utter bollocks. It's getting better tomorrow, a predominantly sunny day, with temperatures just into double figures. I've known warmer Februaries

Twats. Drainage contractors have just abandoned the job on the new football pitches at Bobsy. After 12 months of letting the grass get established three tractors, 2 trailers and a dumper have pretty much turned it back into a quagmire yesterday and this morning!
April 29, 201610 yr I spent winter digging out 3 tonnes of clay and replacing it with gravel and proper soil. My drainage pipe is doing a sterling job and my 350 litre water butt filling up nicely. Tally Ho.
April 29, 201610 yr Drainage contractors have just abandoned the job on the new football pitches at Bobsy. After 12 months of letting the grass get established three tractors, 2 trailers and a dumper have pretty much turned it back into a quagmire yesterday and this morning! Saw a piece on SSN just a few weeks ago. It was from the place where England were going to train for the Euros. Contractors were laying out the soil to create a pitch. Kinell around four months to the tournament not even structured let alone seeded. They must have some special weather over there, might be worth migrating!
April 29, 201610 yr Thought about popping out to watch the start of the tour de Yorkshire Realised it was pissing it down and cold so thought fuck that
April 29, 201610 yr Drove over to Lincoln today. Fuck me. The blizzard up on the tops was other worldly. Bright sunshine and 10 degrees in the shire. Plain fucking weird.
April 29, 201610 yr M62 to Leeds at 6.30am this morning. Fucking Hell!!! It's frigging May on Sunday!!!
