Four day weekends.

The cracking weather, that brings out beautiful women in pretty summer dresses.         Grrrrrrrrr. 

[AndyInVA]

Looking forward to spending an afternoon and evening with a pretty lady I have liked for a very long time.

[rob1966]

Being away on holiday with the family and the kids really loving it.

[CornerFlag]

The dog just farted, scared himself and ran upstairs.

[sms1986]

When Sunday night is technically a Friday night.

[CornerFlag]

One of my tweets has gone off on one.  Somewhat sad but it's made me smile at least!  It's been on the Guardian, Indy and Telegraph's sites.

[paulrazor]

when you cut the grass and finish just before the rain chucks down

makes me feel like a tactical genius

Watching a massive thunderstorm

[paulrazor]

Watching a massive thunderstorm

dunno why but there is something massively satisfying about sitting at home and watching it piss down

maybe in some way the brain is telling you to be thankful you have 4 walls and a roof

its lovely to look out at snow for instance, different story when i know i have to go to work in it though

Watching a massive thunderstorm

I love being woken up by thunder and lightening and then sitting looking out the window at the flashes.

[Haemoglobin]

Love thunder & lightning me, always have, but it's been a while since I managed to catch one at night-time, in its full glory. Summer daytime ones have their own wonderful life-enriching vibe, but you can't beat a dark balmy night getting lit up by the strikes, with the intense roars following seconds later... feels that much more awesome.

Would often get my coat on and go for walks in it, getting soaked to the bone, just because. Or stand outside in the back with a towel on my head. If I'm allowed to do it at age 3, then I can do it in my 30s too!

just leave the golf clubs at home

Y'know, you say that, but I've always had a weird desire to actually get struck by lightning as well.

It wouldn't hurt me or anything of course, I'd just get a cool white streak in my hair, and possibly Raiden powers

you'd end up looking like Rhydian or whatever his name was in the x factor. or Michael Sheens character in Tron Legacy.

i dont think you'd be posting here anymore if you did get hit. friend of mine saw someone struck by lightning when he was young. as soon as thunder and lightning start he is like johnny in Ted. still shits himself. cant blame him

[paulrazor]

here is one for you lightning lovers

[Haemoglobin]

^ North America does probably have some of the bossest ones like, or at least that's where more enthusuiasts chase down storms and film them for us. Those vast skies out in the sticks where it's basically a blanket of branching lightning racing across the clouds... simply awe-inspiring, humbling.

We're out in Orlando, so it was about 91f, sky was lit up with constant flashes and warm rain, just magical.

I'm the same as you with snow, I love seeing it, but not when I need to go out in it.

[redbyrdz]

The scrunch scruch scrunch of fresh snow under your boots.



....but the fuck that can wait, loving the summer right now!

warm rain is kinda cool

2 drink related things i like

1. see a creamy can or bottle of stout being poured into a pint glass knowing the next half hour or so is sorted

2. a big glass of red wine beside me next to a near full bottle

Unexpected fire drills in work. Free hour in the pub

Been to the audiology clinic this morning to have my hearing aids checked (still waiting on a surgery date), they replaced the units and now I can hear clear as day.

Looking forward to the birdsong in the morning.

Plenty today in Mere Sands woods today - loads of birds including nesting Terns and a pair of Nuthatches - brill!

Watching the under 9's team I coach walk off the pitch with huge smiles on their faces and laughing with each other after winning 7-0 in their first proper 7-a-side game. This after being cheated out of a tournament last week which left a lot of the team crying, angry etc.

[dalarr]

The smell of a brand new book or magazine.

[rowan_d]

That odd day you get where the fluffy clouds are out, the sun is being filtered by one, the moon is up as well, temperature's perfect and there's a cool breeze. Basically the perfect weather.

The view from the room I'm working in this week...

[the 92A]

International House?

[Barneylfc∗]

The colours on that bridge ruin the rest. Who sanctioned that? They should be sacked immediately.

[The Gulleysucker]

International House?

Yes, WTC.
Been here many times before over the last few years but never in this room, usually I'm somewhere round the back overlooking St Katherines dock complex.

[the 92A]

Ii is a fantastic view, iconic buildings with the river knitting them together.

[reddebs]

Seeing the miraculous work Noel, the supervet does repairing ill, damaged and injured animals for their owners.

What a guy!!

[Crosby Nick]

Yes, WTC.

Is that the huge building with the dolphin statue outside? I went for a walk at lunch a few months back down Bishopsgate, over London Bridge, along the river and over Tower Bridge. Really need to get out more!

[Sir Harvest Fields]

I was mugged , attacked badly, etc etc etc and i was lucky to survive. But the reports in the media said i was in my 30's. Im 44 in 2 months. Woo hoo.
