Hows is your weather today? Or anything else for that matter

[Master Ray]

So, it's been hot and muggy all day, not my favourite weather conditions, but the clouds were gathering and thunder and lightning, in the distance, started to boom and flash... yay, a refreshing cool storm!

And then it starts throwing down hail stones. In the middle of a heatwave.

 What in the name of flippin' bloody crikey is wrong with weather nowadays?

hot. it was hot in la.

man. I never saw so many homeless people. living in tents or less. close to down town. really weird and unexpected. in most places they move people en masse into ghettos and townships and slums. theres such a contrast but the same injustice  all over the world. 

and people think those on the street are sick. sick, but not in a nice way. theres almost blame involved. heard the same debate on radio earlier here.

so the weather is sunny

the climate is rotten

Can't talk for LA but in the UK.................. Austerity in action.

Noticeably more and more suffering every month.

Even in my part of the world which is ostensibly one of the richest parts of England. The numbers of  homeless is rising. To most people they seem to be invisible or if not it's seen as their own fault. I've noticed more and more individuals on the street and encampments in roadside verges and just the other week a 20 year girl was found dead on wasteland.

Progressive civilised Britain? Dream on. 

A ballboy fainting a Wimbledon is of more concern.

Nevermind, it's not your son/daughter on the street is it?

Yes Anna the Tories are definitely on a rampage against the poorest in society. Cutting working/child tax credits and housing benefit. The percentage of poor get higher ever year whilst the rich few get richer. Is really what the country gave a huge backing to only a few months ago. No wonder IDS doesn't want to tell us how many people have died after getting there benefits cut

They've now redefined Child Poverty............................... 

[Master Ray]

I think this sums up The Tories...

Weather today ? bloody awful. Been more like November than late July. Just goes to show, you can never predict the British weather. No doubt plenty of people booked Weddings/ Barbecue's for 24th /25th July in the sensible assumption the weather should be good by then.   

[Pol]

Only a few light showers  here lol
Is this officially the worst summer ever   ?

[Sheena]

It's raining

[Amandistan]

It's stereotypical english weather. Rain and wind and it's cold in mid summer

[Shush]

Don't forget to slap on the sun lotion for the great British Summer in the morning 

[Pol]

Its officially dreich

[Sheena]

Still raining...

[Anna Woman von NRW]

Its officially dreich

Blimey Pol - that took some work in google to figure out but I gather it means light rain that gets you wet before you know it 

Been quite nice here today
