In the UK we have just one week every year (typically in February) where we get snow. We only ever get like a few centimetres maximum and the entire country grinds to a halt over it. It's so pathetic.
I was in London one year on April... 6th I think, and it snowed maybe 1.5 inches. It was nearly 45 Fahrenheit (about 7 Celsius for those who don't want to do the math(s)) and I was wearing shorts and a t-shirt, which is not unheard for me in mid-40s weather (and was downright common back in my late teens). People looked at me like I was the first of many mental patients the USA was going to start deporting to the UK...

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

45 is balmy. I might be in jeans, but a Tshirt would be normal for me if I wasn't going to be outside for very long.
One thing's for certain, I would be wearing flip flops.

I went to a tourist town today. My personal, verbal and mental space have been brutally violated. So fucking tired. Tomorrow I'm gonna make it up to myself and sit with a book on a wild beach the entire day.
Ghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh -_-

I am very intolerant of the cold and will be that bitch who is still wearing hoodies in May. I think it's because I used to be SO horrifically body conscious when I was a teenager that I hated wearing thin immodest t-shirts and short-sleeved shirts. I allways dressed modestly (if a man can dress modestly, I only ever hear that being used for women) and I think it gradually built up a hatred of being cold and a love of hot weather.
I do love summer whatever I'm wearing. I love hot dry weather, I'm so comfortable in it.

"Ironically like the nativist far-Right, which despises multiculturalism, but benefits from its ideas of difference to scapegoat the other and to promote its own white identity politics; these postmodernists, leftists, feminists and liberals also use multiculturalism, to side with the oppressor, by demanding respect and tolerance for oppression characterised as 'difference', no matter how intolerable." - Maryam Namazie

Thunderstorms. I love the thunder and lightning, but I hate the rain. Yes, I'm spoiled. We've had such strange weather so far this summer.
