It would seem my meeting later has been cancelled
So the summer holidays have begun.
I ought to be excited, shouldn't I?

What should you be excited about today?

Alt: Where is the summer?

It happened already
In the middle of April. That's it now, Autumn has started.

And lying in a hammock.

Seeing my friend on Thursday
My day off on Friday, and a pint with my brother.

Simple pleasures.

According to BBC live text it's in SW19
where it will probably reside for the next two weeks. You could move there, but it's probably full of Americans.

Intermittently showing its face in NR3 as well
There must be a way of predicting the weather other than assuming it'll be shit cos we're British. Although any website detailing the sun's movements would effectively become a herding device for awful middle-class families.

Hang on, we might be on to something here

Are you implying I'm an awful middle-class family?
If so, I'm flattered. I've always wanted to be awful.

we don't do summer per se up here
merely variations in temperature of rain.

Summer is definitely not in Australia.
I should be excited about the pretty things I bought today. I AM excited about them. they're pretty.
(Poppet some assembly required., Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:40, Reply)

I'm looking excited about the perennial whinging
about it being too hot/not hot enough/too wet/too dry/too windy/too humid etc etc ad infinitum that always happens in this country. Along with all the usual "jokes" about summer having been for one week only and so on.

We don't live in the Mediterranean.

I'm with you there

( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:51, Reply)

That's the thing, though
Apparently it is. At some point, we seem to have had a period of long, hot summers where it didn't rain, yet simultaneously provided us with enough water for 60 million people to not to have to worry about a hose-pipe ban.

I don't know when this mythical time was, because it hasn't been in the 31 years I've been alive, but a lot of people seem awfully put out that it's stopped happening.
( Kroney, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:55, Reply)

'75 and '76
were the last long hot summers I think. Being as I was about 1, I can't remember whether or not there was a hosepipe ban I'm afraid, but I'm pretty sure there was no rain from about april to september in 1976.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:59, Reply)

I want to live in the mediterranean
so I can complain about it being too hot to do anything and tell everyone that I'll do everything manana. I can't do the squiggly n thing.

Why are you looking excited?

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:56, Reply)

Because inside I'm a seething ball of impotent rage.
I only appear to be other emotions on the surface.

I should be excited about having the day off.
Instead I feel slightly meh today.

I'm quite excited about all the people who showed an interest in my corset stall on Saturday night
and I've had one email already enquiring about ordering plus an order from a man who wants the same corset Apple was wearing haha.

It's quite warm over here in Manchester, I've got the door open, woo.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:56, Reply)

Oh, I meant to ask you.
Do you have some form of web-based catalogue? I may have asked you this before, I can't remember.
( Kroney, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 11:59, Reply)

I have a small corner of the internet
www.kittyohara.co.uk

The gallery is only of bustiers but if you check the shop that has my most recent designs in it. And I'm on facebook under that name as well.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:04, Reply)

I'll have a poke about this evening, then.
Girls should be encouraged to wear bustiers and corsets and so on.
( Kroney, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:07, Reply)

thanks
a girl on Saturday said "I really want to wear one of these" and her boyfriend said "I really want you to wear one of these".
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:10, Reply)

Truth be told
I'm thinking of instituting a rule on entry to my house along these lines. I mean, girls never enter it as it is so I'm not losing out or anything. It's the principle of the matter.

Also, boys are shallow and like boobs all out everywhere, so I'm not surprised by your story.
( Kroney, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:12, Reply)

If I ever come to your house
chances are I'll be wearing a corset. I don't have much of the boobs but I'll probably trip over the threshold so you won't notice anyway.
( Kitty v1.0 desperately naive, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:19, Reply)

Given that you have a boyfriend
it would probably be impolitic for me to ogle you anyway, as a punch in the mouth often offends. It'd fucking offend me, that's for sure.
( Kroney, Mon 20 Jun 2011, 12:21, Reply)

Ha Wiggy would never punch anyone, even if they tried to rape me.
I have to punch people myself but luckily I've got some sick swans.

It's rather pleasant here in B37
The sun is out, flotillas of fluffy white clouds scudding along, barely a breath of wind.

If I wasn't stuck in an office with dodgy airconditioning, it'd be quite nice.
