In other unpleasantness...
This weather can really go fuck itself in the ear. Not only is it cold and wet, it's cold and wet and really windy, with the kind of horrible soaking sphincter-clenching rain gusts that make a mockery of even the strongest of umbrellas (which mine isn't).
We actually had some very pleasant spring weather in March, but April is shaping up to be a mangy wet syphilitic cur of a month. Shape up, April. You're better than this.
Q
at least thunderstorms are over in an hour or so; they don't just plonk down and sit on your head for two weeks however much you cry 'uncle'
