The Weather!

The Weather! October 25, 2004 12:15AM |
Jen just asked on the foodie forum how we are all coping with a wet long weekend. With difficulty ! I get quite depressed if I can't get outside and scratch in the garden. It has been a VERY long Winter and here I sit OCT 25th still in track pants and a jersey. I wonder how the weather effects other people.....all my life I've hated the wind. I'm 63yrs. It makes me incredibly cantancerous. I just hate the world when it's blowing. My family always raised their eyes to the heavens and said it was all my imagination until one day after hours of scanning Medical journals I found IT!!. It was a paper in the British M. J which was the result on how the weather with it's different elements affected body chemestry. Wind was right up there !! The symptoms were everything I feel. Family have been strangely quiet since I insisted they all read the Scientific proof ! On the flip side, I have a friend who can't wait to go to a west coast beach when it's really blowing hard and walking miles in the sand. Says it invigorates her and blows away all the cobwebs. I WISH !
So, roll on Summer. Sorrry. I understand if anyone finds this boring, but none the less wonder if anyone else has altered moods due to that thing we can't control......the Blinkin Weather.

Alison,you and me both. I hate the heat so much so that I have had to turn down an invitation to my nieces wedding on the Gold Coast Aust. I was talking to my sister on Saturday night and she said it was 34deg in Brisbane. The wedding is this coming Sat and with temps like that I know I have done the right thing. Give me 18deg with a light easterly blowing, that's about my limit. Must have that breeze.

I don't cope with the summer heat very well, but give me a cold frosty fine morning and I come alive! I don't mind wind as long as it doesn't interfere with whatever I am doing at the time, and I enjoy walking in the rain so long as it isn't too heavy. And I don't care how many people think I'm daft............. Lyn.

As Lesley indicated, it has been exceptionally wet and windy in the Manawatu. We checked our toes yesterday to see if the webs were forming but nah not yet. I don't like the humidity but can tolerate putting my fluffy slippers away and get into jandals or bare feet. Looking forward to having breakfast outside at the weekends, when we get some heat!
One thing is for sure, we are never happy and isn't it great that we can have a grissle!!!!!!
Cheers,

I can't bear rain - probably comes from being brought up in Hokitika.
I loved the years I spent in Sydney - the climate was fabulous and now living in Auckland I am once again resigned to rain - day after day after day....
Wind can be frustrating but I must admit I love riding in a convertible and also a good walk on a windy beach!

Well Lynne I am the same age as you. Although my next birthday is comming in the next few weeks. I really hate the cold and the hot weather. I love getting outside in the garden, but I find the wind is very tiring. I guess that is the age. Today just stayed overcast. Went to visit my sister in Auckland. But at least the weather is warming up. I do hope we have some summer this year. I mean next year.2005.

For those of you who hate the heat, avoid Dubai. I was there in July, their summer, and the temp. was 49ยบ. No one walks out in it, everyone gets taxis everywhere, and just as well they're cheap!
I used to find the wind tiring, unless walking on the beach, but this last year since I've been living up on the hill, I've accepted that I have to expect some wind in exchange for the views of the bay and town below. Amazing what a bit of mind over matter can do! But like Bev M said, we've had a reasonable weekend here in Whitianga, starting out with brilliant sunshine on Friday and Saturday, deteriorating to a few showers yesterday and this morning I can't see town below me - we're closed in with very low cloud and rain. Still paradise, though.
