My Kinda Weather

Weather

Lessee… daytime high in the low 40s (single digits if you’re of the French measurement persuasion), nighttime a couple degrees above freezing, overcast and occasional drizzle… yup, at this time of year, Kim’s a happy man.

I now eat oatmeal porridge or mieliepap for brekkie (by the way, dark rum tastes wonderful on porridge, don’t ask me how I know this), and I switch from iced G&T to Seffrican brandy or Whisky Macs in the evenings.

I also get to cuddle with my wife at night (instead of sweating her over to the other side of the bed).

Yeah, I can hear the chorus now:  “Why don’t you just go and live in England, where it’s like this all the time?”

Simple answer:

…and a few other reasons, like the stupid BritGov won’t let me stay unless I arrive by small boat over the Channel, and I hate all boats.

So the pic below is just an idle dream:

  1. Come to New England. We have your weather without the need for a small boat. Oh yeah, we have slightly less gun control than Great Britain and the government here is too similar to the government over there.

    NH seems to be the most tolerable of the New England and northeast states at the moment but even they suffer from an infestation of communists and other statists.

  2. As the spouse of a British citizen can you not apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain? Then you can apply for citizenship by marriage. And don’t worry too much about the gun laws: I’m sure The Englishman will sort you out for long guns. And our countryside is snake-free so handguns aren’t needed. You can use a cane or knobkerrie anyway. More than sufficient for the occasional aggressive Scottish Haggis.

  3. Man, I’m with you. I like an occasional cigar on the patio, and you just can’t do that here five months out of the year. From freezing to about 75°, I’m a happy boy.

  5. I know you said “Don’t ask”, but I must. How do you know dark rum tastes wonderful on porridge? There must be a good story there. C’mon, Kim, ‘fess up.
