 Topic: ’tis a perfect English Summer’s day....
Posted: June 22 2005 at 07:45 |
Sun shining, not too hot, not too humid, just a few scudding clouds to make photography interesting (especially in black & white with a red filter), perfect for a pub garden (preferably with a canal at the bottom of it); only one problem.
I'm in a damned office!

We are at home, sitting at our computers facing each other, the living
room door to the back yard is wide open, and the kids are playing in
the inflatable pool there. It is a nice sunny day, and life is great.

That makes a pleasant change... it's usually raining in Wales..... we should know, because in Herefordshire, we get most of it!

Happy happy sunshine here in South London. I work just moments away
from one of the great Progressive landmarks in the world and it's
looking mighty fine from my window.
Please note that this is not a photo taken from my place of work. If it was, I'd be a seagull.

If I had to describe the weather here at the moment it would be something like this:
The clouds prepare for battle
In the dark and brooding silence.
Bruised and sullen stormclouds
Have the light of day obscured.
Looming low and ominous
In twilight premature
Thunderheads are rumbling
In a distant overture...
Actually, I very much like what I wrote, I'm thinking in using it as the lyrics to a song... what do you think?
Anyway, yes, I hope it rains before the few remaining neurons I have alive melt together...

as opposed to a good Welsh summer, which is the stuff of mythology... in fact Rick Wakeman ought to make an album entitled.. 'The Legend of the Welsh Sun God'. What do you think?

Oh yes, this was my reaction before my first summer visit to London.
Since then I've made two summer visits to London and you may call me Constantine if you like .
