It takes me 4mins to drive to work, or 30mins to walk.
I like driving short distances

It's 75 F (24 C) today. Too hot for this coat!

It's 66 F (19 C) here and humidity is only at 38%. A gorgeous day to be outside, especially after having colder weather recently, and it feels even warmer than it is with all the sun. Now if only the hammock was up...

I honestly don't know what would happen here if we ever saw the relative humidity that low Eldo! Right now it's 65% and that's pretty low for here. Your hammock idea sound perfect! If only...

Usually (in the summer at least) the humidity is much higher. That's why late spring/early summer is my favorite time of the year, weather-wise. Outside the month of May (and a little bit of April and June) it's either too cold or too humid.

28℃ today in the fag end of autumn.

i got a terrible sun burn. my face looks horrible.

22c here today. Tomorrow should be hotter!

Cold and wet here- temp be lucky to be more than 5 or 6.
So quite a nice day really.

i wish i didn't have to go to school tomorrow... i look aweful :S

i've been camping (real camping, not american-camping) we slept in a lavvo (tent sort of thing, sami stuff) on reindeer "furs" and ate and shat outside all day we were outside dogsledding, and because the snow is super reflecting, i have the worst sun burn ever even though it wasn't that much sun(well, it was, the sun was low and it was just some clouds).. dammit. i am so stuod, i actually brought sun-cream shait wtf! and i forgot.


btw, I'll add some pictures, and you guys will be super jelous

Oh yeah, real jealous.

NB We have camping like that in America too -- my brother is actually quite keen on it -- but I choose to avoid it for a reason.

Later in the week

Even one of these

whuss

LOOK AT MY FUCKING FACE! it's embarrasing!
*deleted*

nice burn. Believe it or not partially cloudy can make it worse: the UV bounces between the clouds and the ground (especially snow) so you get multiple chances to get hit.

I've got plenty of stories about crapping in the woods, but will restrain myself.

Ive crapped on kilimanjaro several times! Mainly down the good old 'long drops' though.

Good sunburn! Seen lots of people much worse than that today though. I swear one woman had been sun bathing inside a nuclear reactor!!

haha, ur totally right about the could and snow effect xD lots of snow and couded plus i am kinda near ozon-holes... and sinse it's winter I get those loosery tan-lines where my hat was and it's only mt fucking face that's sunburn (i amlost laughed to death when i took a shower.. wtf?!)

Ive had sunburn where if you cracked an egg on it, youde have fried eggs, would only need the bacon, actually, come to think of it,my face DID look like bacon ! But thats cos Im fair skin/haired. I very rarely get a tan
Today the weather was gorgeous And we went to a Park near us that was hosting a "Medievil Fayre". People were dressed up, showing old skills,like,wood carving,fire building,making chain mail. It was good, & to cap it all, they played Howard Shore's LOTRs music all afternoon ! Loved it !

Where was that?

Looks like a good day out Azriel. I burn, well instantly the sun rises really. One day of strong sunshine I can go from pale blue to lobser red, and thats with the sunblock on. You dont ever want to see the result if I forget the sunblock, if youve ever watched the Singing Detective you are getting the picture.

Hi Lance, It was a park called Gildredge Park, here in Eastbourne. We have a lovely place called Michelham Priory up the road from me, & they do lots of great things thru the year. September they have a Medievil Festival, everyone dresses up, displays, battle enactment, Archery that you or I can have a go at.Things for sale, all sorts, great fun !
Yes, Petty ! Ive seen "singing Detective"! you poor sod ! but, if you wanna see a full cooked English breakfast straight out of the pan....leave me in sunlight,simmer for half an hour, serve red,raw & steaming, (side salad optional) & still glowing by night fall ! Ive had wild animals lie down near me to keep warm, Ive burnt so much !

that fayre thing looked so much fun i was at one once, long time ago, they had like proper knights on horses and did battles and stuff it was in Trondheim.

Id love to join a re-enactment group, but I havnt found one near me ? which I find odd,as there is loads of history here ! Id even be happy to make dresses out of old bed sheets ! They had them for sale (I think?) so you can play act when you get home !
