I'm leaving for camping with my dad and co this (Friday) afternoon.  I should be back sometime Sunday night since I have work on Monday.  Dunno if we'll be remote enough to lose mobile Internet but I don't expect to be posting. Work has been insane this past week (busiest outside the holidays but without the benefit of seasonal help) so I'm hoping to recharge.

most pointless piece of clothing i own: a bikini. 

coldes june in 33 years so far. 2,6 C below average, which make the average temperature this month (so far) to be 6.5 C.
the coldest day was june 4. at 2.1 C. it was the warmest yesterday at 16 C. and it has basically been raining. we saw the sun yesterday. i went for a jog.


follow this link and at the bottom of the article is a video of tourists having a snowball fight. (video is from June 16th).

i was just now complaining to my dad because i was cold and he asked if i had longs on (woollen tights/undergarments) and i was like no it's summer... and he like "you know summer is a temperature, not a date?" which i guess is true.

I was going to go swimming last weekend, but didn't get around to it. Maybe that was just as well. pale

Thanks guys. Smile

There is a lake and also a waterfall where we're camping so I plan to take advantage of those for some splashing around. :carrot:

I love going swimming in summer, but I like the water to get to around 15-16 degrees first. Last year I went swimming at easter, that was.. a bit too early. Razz

I came back a few hours earlier than I had planned because a tropical storm came through last night and ruined my sleep, so I didn't feel up to driving back late.  It was a pretty nice trip though; yesterday was sunny for most of the day and the lake water was the perfect temperature. Smile Got in a bunch of HP reading too, but that's a topic for another thread.

Sounds swell. Smile We've had a really cold spring so the water will probably be freezing well into the summer here, but I have to get around to at least trying it soon. Nod

Well I'm in Minnesota now everyone. The weather is cooler than I expected, but very pleasant with some heavy showers when I flew in yesterday. It seemed like everything had cloud cover from the Rockies east.

I'm working on some willow furniture with my dad, and not really doing anything vacation-y yet, although I think we'll go kayaking or canoeing on the river by the end of the week.

Anyway, I've managed to get to a computer, but I won't be on too much through next Wednesday (unless I have a lot more time on my hands than I anticipate).

Talk to you all again soon!

Actually yesterday was beautiful! Definitely cooled off after that huge storm system moved through.

61F (16C) here and drizzling rain. More like Smaug's day-old poo pile, but considering the alternative I'm not complaining.

I wish we could trade with you Mrs Figg, in small quantities of course. Dragon sized portions from either end of the beast are a bit much for us mere mortals Mad

We're getting some lovely rain here now. I really wish I could bring it back with me to California when I leave on Wednesday.
Out there it's like Smaug's breath: hot and dry, but with occasional rolls of fog when it comes in contact with the ocean.
