Can this stop now?

[vilakins]

See what I mean? And it's not going to get any better either with more thunderstorms and high winds on the way. I'm actually starting to feel sorry for the staff who deserted me and went off on holiday in this.

[stamps foot] Enough already. I want my spring. Or failing that, a domed city.

It's hailing now.

[Edit] I think someone heard me! It's still very windy, but it hasn't rained for over two hours! Yay!

*hugs* I looked at the photos. They looked so familiar. But it started clearing up today so if I get any sunshine I will soak it up in your name.

I can't believe the week I'm by myself is like this. I have to post mail on the way home and there's no covered parking. Oh joy.

It's hailing? Oh no. *hugs and hands you armoured umbrella*

I'll have to hope my trusty gustbuster is enough!

It's a pity we can't average out our weather. We've got 34 degrees with hot, desiccating winds today and bushfires already!

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Averaged-out weather would be great for both of us! You can tell why a city of over a million people was built nowhere near a river unlike other cities, can't you.

Golly, that's bad. Here's hoping it will have blown itself out by the time I get there. But worrying won't make it better. {hugs}

Doesn't stop me worrying though. Almost all the things I wanted to do involve leaving the house.

[kerravonsen]

Let it rain -- who cares?
I've a train upstairs
With a brake that I make
from a string sorta thing
Which works -- in jerks,
'Cause it drops in the spring
and it stops with the string,
And the wheels all stick
so quick that it feels
Like a thing that I make
with a brake, not string.

(A.A. Milne)

It all looks worse 'cause you're stressed at work.

Me, I'm worried that my sleeping patterns will get all disturbed and I'll be too tired to enjoy things. 8-(

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

:-D I like that.

Yeah, being stressed at work doesn't help.

I'm also worried about getting everything tidied up before you come. Greg is a hoarder and he's finally agreed to get all his junk removed from what used to be his office so I can use the shelves to put books and DVDs on instead on in the piles they're in now because there's no room. Time is running out though. He'd better get it done this week so I have time to organise everything.

When I lived on my own, everything was always neat and tidy. This place and all the stuff in it is another source of stress and I find it so hard to cope with the untidiness Greg lives in. I knew this when I married him though. :-P I'm not the tidiest myself, but my sense of aesthetics is stronger.

[kerravonsen]

Living by myself, my house is somewhere between tidy and messy. Every now and then I do a huge sort-and-purge... and then things start to pile up again.

When I was a child, we used to move house so often (once every five years, max) that things tended to get heaved in order to reduce what had to be moved (most of the moves were either interstate or international). Now I've been living in the same house for almost ten years, stuff has been piling up.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

Ha! Same!

We moved every few years too, but Greg's mother still lives in the house he was born in. I detect one of the reasons for his hoarding.

Let me give you an example of same from a few years ago.
Nico: [approaches bin with broken videotape]
Greg: What are you doing with that? It might come in useful!
Nico: It's broken. How could it possibly be useful? [drops in bin]

[kerravonsen]

(blinks)
I mean, I can understand why my father picks up random nails, washers, pennies, pins, rubberbands and suchlike if he spots them when going for a walk, but keeping a broken videotape? (shakes head in bemusement).

Mind you, I have a drawer where I stash old (out of date, failed burns) CDs, but I figure one could use them for coasters or something like that. And they look pretty.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

You could microwave them!

[kerravonsen]

Why would I want to do that?

[jthijsen.livejournal.com]

Pretty patterns!

[kerravonsen]

I'm very wary of putting non-food items into the microwave.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

I've seen some cool geeky vids on what happens and I thought you might have too. I haven't tried it myself.

[kerravonsen]

Mind you, the Doctor would probably find a use for it!
On the other hand, I bet he never, ever, ever throws anything out. And that Nyssa or Romana tried to get him to do some spring cleaning. 8-)

Trade you the thunderstorms for some of our heat? We've gone to summer and bushfire season already :-( We'll have to wish the wind on someone else, though - you don't want it, and it would be a very bad idea for my neck of the woods to have it just now...

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

OK, deal!

[jomacmouse.livejournal.com]

There's just the little matter of persuading Messrs Heat and Storm to swap over, now...

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

I'll have the wind it's October and all we've had is grey clouds and the air just hangs as heavy as lead. It's depressing and my bodyinterpreting grey skies= dusk keeps trying to curl up and go sleep.

[vilakins.livejournal.com]

It's gone; have you got it? Today is the preverbial calm after the storm and it's lovely, but they said there'll be more rain in the evening.

[jaxomsride.livejournal.com]

We got a twitch. Mind you considering it had to go all the way round the world it'd be a bit tired.
