It's not too terrible, but the wind is fair whipping the clouds across the sky, it's warm enough when the sun finds a clear patch, but I fear it won't be long until the long argument over when the winter duvet gets to come out will start.

Yebbut, flogging said shite items earlier ensures a more profitable income stream for the shop.

A long way off of American standards, but around here Halloween is gradually becoming quite the event. Houses get made up with as much effort as Xmas! Some of the kids outfits and make up etc is really good too. There is also a lot of encouragement on local Facebook pages to support it as a community event.

When I was supermarket trucking we would start the Xmas deliveries straight after August bank holiday,long shelf life products,advent calenders,Christmas puddings,selection box's etc,have a look in your supermarket's at what Xmas crap's arrived in the next few weeks, it's a proper downer at the end of summer!.
Apart from the shareholders pretty much everyone grew to detest Christmas.

Same here,apart from putting the heat on,that can wait for another couple of months!
I've looked at the forecast for the next few days in Douglas & it's more of the same,I'm seriously considering staying at home...

I had a fleece on walking into town. The wind was howling and chilly despite it being 24c. First time in months.Skub wrote: ↑Wed Aug 21, 2024 8:27 pmWe've the heat on tonight.

Sometimes the wind here does get on your nerves, but that's why the islands made their name.
Ships sailed down to here from Europe then the howling trade winds blew them to America in half the normal time.

The weather in the Canaries is pretty constant, which is probably one of the reasons you moved there. Here it can be 40+ in the summer to frost and even snow in winter.

Never a day below 20 in winter.
Drops to 15c overnight sometimes.
