It's the nature of the beast Jason. You can only take so much of something before it starts to get to you. Imagine if you had to eat a tuna sandwich everyday for lunch for three months. I think you would be pretty sick of eating tuna then!!! LOL Smile

But our weather is changeable!!

Most people over here say they want a nice summer, they go on and on about it, 'we need a nice summer' hot and sunny!  moan about all the rain last year, saying, we never seem to get any good weather!  well now we have!! but people don't like it!!

Tuna sandwich would be ok every day! you don't have to put the same dressing on or use the same bread everyday!   we are a nation of moaners!!

We've just had a bit of rain here today and it's very hot and sticky but I would rather have that than be shivering in the cold, grey, winter weather.

I think they moan these days Jason because our weather use to build up from one way to the other, but here lately, there's as much as an difference as 30 degrees overnight, and people really feel it much more keener then they use to when to slowly built up and then went down again. It gave them an time to adjust to it all a bit. I had my grandsons sleeping with me last night in the livingroom (air mattress) with fans going every which away..it just felt "hot day coming"  this morning also, so we will see how much over 90 it gets today. I'm thinking movie and dinner out at the hottest time of the day, or going to Mt. Hood for the afternoon, maybe I'll take my new camera...kids are taking the boat out on the river to cool off an bit. I didn't know the dogs (Labradors) had life jackets until yesterday..so cute. They look like little rolly polly barrels in them.
