Doom and Gloom

Well. the weather is damp, the summer is practically officially over and no-one has seen the sun for weeks (which makes the perpetual British obsession with atmospherics just too easy to indulge). And to cap it all off, a dour but hardworking Scottish lad got bitch-slapped all over Wimbledon by a man from Switzerland who never sweats.
Arrgh - what the hell is that???

The Olympics seem to be only thing to look forward to, weather dependent of course. I have images of the equestrian centre being used for water polo, the volleyball courts doubling up as the canoe slalom, and Tom Daley being called up for search and rescue at the Olympic Stadium.

Aaaah - normal service has been resumed
Which is worse though? Blighty with it's predictable unpredictability, or Qatar (host of the next World Cup) which can be relied upon to cook spectators, players and officials alike in 40 degree heat. Personally I know which one I would prefer, but that is only because I am basically more firelighter than human.
