Morning Mugs,
With 2 dogs to walk every day I notice the weather much more acutely than I did before. I also notice just how much fucking litter and other crap (such as dog shit) is left lying around. I live in a village where it's probably no more than 200 metres between dual purpose bins, and yet there are lazy and pig ignorant wankers of both genders who willingly lob litter on the floor or can't be arsed to pick up their dogs shit.
If I could I'd taser the lazy morons.
Then there's the weather. Now be honest, because I'm told London has apparently been mostly dry since October, whereas here...in the so-called sunny south, I'm pretty sure that since then we've barely seen more than 10 or 11 rain free days. Everywhere you go around here the ground underfoot is slippery, squelchy and full of puddles. It hasn't dried out, and subsequently you have damp and slippery leaves everywhere. The whole area seems to be in a state of perma-gloom.
Now, I acknowledge that climate change is a thing, although I would dispute the impact that man has had is as high as made out...the planet is an enormous eco-system and man has rarely ever been able to live comfortably in the worst weather excesses. Hurricanes destroy pretty much everything in their path, as do floods....extreme heat exaggerates the impact of forest fires ...razing everything in their path. That does not make me a denier, but it does represent a healthy challenge to the level of our impact on this enormous geo/eco-system.
Having said that, I'm now sick and bloody tired of the constant gloom and the rain and the wind. Right now I would take a cold snap, with frost and maybe a dusting of snow, with crisp blue skies. And then maybe a nice early spring with sunshine and some heat to dry the ground out. It won't happen, but it's a nice thought.
Later Mugs , GJ
