Weather
 
First decent day of the year, able to sit out all day in the sun.

Just looked over on the returns thread, and people are saying that it's days like this that make it all worthwhile returning to the UK.

Oddly, one good day doesn't seem to compensate me for the completely sh*te summer last year (Three days like today in the whole four months of summer.)

Or, for that matter for all the miserable, grey, wet, totally crap days we have had so far this year.

I hope for another miserable summer in the UK if im here for it, even though It depresses me on initial wake up, it brings in good money

Yeah. 'Oh look, no cloud there again!'

You know, when we went to exchange on the property 4 years ago, we stayed in Cadiz itself for a week.

To have a blue sky all day everyday was so alien, that it genuinely felt as tho we were on another planet.

I remember saying to my wife, 'Look. The whole sky is blue. All the way from east to west, and all the way from north to south. It's been like that all week, and it will be like that all next week, more likely than not.'

Yeah, but you know you will get bored after about 20 years....

"Yeah, but you know you will get bored after about 20 years...."

Well, with respect, you don't know me. I shall be more than happy to take the risk!

Like the guy who said he would rather be miserable and rich than miserable and poor, I would rather risk boredom with good weather than continue with the certainty of boredom with grey skies.

Plus, I don't think I will. I have endured crap weather for so long that a reliable good climate comes as a delightful change.

I don't mind people saying that there is a risk of it, I just resent being told as a certainty that I will get bored and want to come back to the UK.

If you'd been thru what I have over the last 20 years, I think you'd feel the same.

Do you really like the crap weather we get in the UK?

Mild and sunny in Northants, so much so that my youngest child went to a barbecue in nearby woods.
