Well will it. My bike has got wet as it had to go for an MOT. So tempted to stick it in the van and drive it the mile to my tame tester. But I manned up and got wet as well.

I am supposed to be going to a barbecue tonight. It is still on if they can drain the rain out of their garden. It is manchester so they are used to rain there

Where is my summer?

It's not rained here since about 4pm yesterday. Due a shower any minute now though. We don't have seasons in Britain, we have days! Some are sunny, some are rainy and some are windy

Quite dry in Yorkshire ;)

edit; I did a couple of nursing homes in Bury, Lancs a few years ago (one next to Gigg Lane footy ground and one opposite a pub called The Peel, if you're local to Bury)

I asked an old bloke in the corner shop "when does it stop f###ing raining round here?"

He said "when it starts f###ing snowing"

Tomorrow it will be dry and, as it's Father's Day, once I've had a lie in and brekko in bed, I shall go for a blast on my trusty steed.

Then I'll watch Moto GP, have beers and a lovely dinner, then an early night ;)

It's doing my nut in.
I've got loads of stuff I actually want to do, it's all outside and I can't do none of it.
I'm blaming the French, you can't persuade me otherwise.

There may have been the odd breeze

It was windy but was dry and fairly sunny most of the day in sunny Southend. Managed to test ride a new CBR600F for a while.

maaaan, just did 100 mile, sheff to manc over woodhead lastnight, and back to sheff today over snake, didn't stop raining once. glad to have me feet up now!

Often ask myself who was cruel enough to bring me into the world on british soil, Cali would have been fine.

Spent all afternoon in a wedding marquee, it felt like the wind was going to take us all away at times.

Beautiful weather down here today, went out for a lovely ride with DJ and my dad, ended up having coffee in the sunshine at Whiteways Cafe, who could ask for more. Perfect Father's day for both of them.

Rained down my way on and off all day Saturday and as my wife was away seeing her dad I couold hardly go out on the bike leaving the munchkin home alone! To make it worse the heat as I stepped off the plane in Vienna in glorious sunshine at lunchtime today was a real kick in the teeth.

HURRY UP SUMMER!!!!!!!

Supposed to be bad again by the weekend, they are already telling us to make the most of the next few days.
