Thanks a bunch, weather. Recently we've had a run of days of consistently dry and fairly warm weather and then, the moment the country needs three decent days, we get bloody October in the arse end of May. Is this how it's going to be from now on? Random days of good weather in between huge blocks of chill wind and sideways rain?

"Oh but it's good for your garden" you whine in reply. Is it good for the garden that your unseasonably high winds have blown all the leaves off the neighbour's tree and now my lawn looks like the middle of autumn? Is it good for the garden that my fence is wobbling thanks to your recent gales? Oh it's good for the garden inasmuch as my kids can't go out and play on it during half term, that's really good for the garden isn't it? Instead they're driving their mum bonkers because they're cooped up and bored. Yeah, thanks a bunch, weather.

Tell me. Is it going to carry on in this unremarkable, grey and cold fashion for much longer? I have a holiday booked for next month you see. I don't want to spend it cooped up in a bloody caravan, freezing my nuts off at night listening to the rain rattle on the roof til the early hours of the morning. I want to go out on the beach without being shot-blasted by clouds of 80mph horizontal sand, trust me - nobody feels good walking hunched up along a beach in a massive raincoat with the hood up. I want the holiday you see in the telly ads - all blue sky, summer clothes and fun - not overcoats, umbrellas and 400 games of Scrabble in a caravan with the gas fire on, frustrated because you could be doing this at home at no cost.

So, get your act together, weather. Get this summer sorted out quick sharp, otherwise there's going to be trouble...
