Role Reversal

And it seems we have role reversal.

Yes while you sit in the backslash of rain I am sunning it up in England. As much as I’d like to congratulate you on the rain I feel quite smug that England is sunny for once. As the rays of sun beat down upon my face I imagine the concept of a week of rain in Ojai. It doesn’t seem right.

The five-degree climate puts a slight damper on the exquisite sun but what’s wrong with whacking out that winter wardrobe and dressing warmly. Nothing.

The concept of a sunny day means a lot to us British. The words England and Sun combine to mean one thing in the typical Englishman’s head: it’s summer again! Yes comically many will put on their shorts and get out their BBQS, but it’s not until they become acquainted with the frost bitten air that the realize the notion of a sunny day does not mean it is necessarily hot.  I must admit it is an extremely foolish perception that in the middle of autumn it would be hot. But what can I say the influence of the sun discombobulates our brains, making us do stupid things.

Oh us English. The fact the mere peek of suns makes us greatly excited is pathetic in many ways. Although at the same time joyous because something so simple can make a nation happy amongst a world of materialistic pleasures.
