patsylabrador Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Generally speaking I loathe the summer. I dislike being hot and enjoy the cooler seasons. However after dressing up in coat, scarf, gloves and wellies for the umpteenth time to sort out the ladies, I can't wait to slip out the back door in shorts and sandals - bliss! ( not just shorts and sandals obviously - that would be inappropriate) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cinnamon Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I can't wait either! I love summer, but don't like being too hot - mid 70's is perfect for me. Warm enough for shorts,icy rosé wine,sunglasses & my veggies to grow without me having to water them twice a day I don't mind the cold & rain, so long as I am snugly tucked up indoors, looking out!

Laura & CTB Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I find this weather depressing - I hate the cold and dark mornings/evenings. Summer is fab - the hotter the better for me though! I spend all day roasting in the garden and CTB shuts himself in the bedroom with the air conditioning unit on full blast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm not keen on cold myself - tropical bird! I much prefer warmth and less clothes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I used to prefer the winder, but now I really can see the appel of summer. Not too hot mind. About 24/25 deg with a very gentle breeze The only downside of summer for me, apart from wasps is my skin reacts to sunlight and I get a horrible itchy rash, unless I wear factor max all the time.

Lavenders_Blue Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I do prefer the warmth of summer but not too hot. Around 25 degrees suits me just fine. I really dislike being too hot and I also burn very easily so if the sun is too strong I spend the whole time slathered in sun cream. I work on the principle that if I'm too cold, I can put more layers on, but if I'm too hot.... well there's a limit to how much I can take off!

chickencam Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I love the springtime when the light is good, the days are lengthening, which they are already and everything is growing like mad. I don't like the extremes of either winter or summer, but would rather have cold crisp winter than dark damp winter. I am craving some warm sunshine at the moment though.

ChrisP Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 27C, blue sky, no or very faint breeze, sunlight from about 7am to 10pm. Walking around in shorts, strap top, flip flops. Can't wait for the summer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 What we need is a holodeck That way we could play at summer or winter as the mood took us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarbaraJ Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 i used to dislike it too hot but last few years i much prefer the summer, longer days and less clothes are the benefits for me. Central heating and cold with lots of clothes (not at the same time) make me itch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplemaniacs Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I like the cold and bright winter days but this snow and ice has just lasted tooooooo long At school we dicided that we would not moan if it was a mild dull wet winters day anymore Hope it warms up soon and takes the ice and snow away.

sparkysmum Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I Just can't wait I am so desperate for spring/ summer. The snow was lovely for Christmas but it's just treacherous now. I long for warm, long days. For early morning runs, for planting & tending, for the chickens pecking around my feet, for activity in the pond, for buds bursting into flower, for bluebells, for poppies, for warmth on my skin, to be able to dry clothes outdoors, for BBQ's. For all these simple things and more I want the sun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 I know Star Trek Next Generation had one of those decks. Now that would be fun. Too much snow for too long. Usually we have one bout (when it does decide to snow) and then one week later that's it - and usually in February when the weather is warmer anyway. Having a ton of blubber and reaching a certain age has helped with not feeling cold. I've only had a couple of nights where I needed Murray's dressing gown over the top of the quilt. Still no heating on at the moment. It's the dull grey days that get to me - quite depressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
