Not just in the UK. I'm 1.5 hrs north of Paris and spring/summer seems to arrive later each year. We seem to get a couple of sunny days followed by weeks of rain. Not good for the moral.
Not only in Europe, but in south western Canada too. This wet rainy weather is so annoying. I'm usually at the beach in mid May, but this year it seems more like November. grr

The beach sounds good I will just imagine I'm there ! I did get some sun in March on a trip to the states & felt great in Arizona & Narvada nice dry air

Last week we got to 25 degrees C for a day. Then wham! Thunder & hail. The rest of the week was rainy

I hardly dare to write this......I have spent the last week lying by a pool in 80f temperatures in South Tenerife! Only downside is very,very strong winds.....everything has to be battened down or it ends up,spiralling into the pool.
I return to UK next week...so will try to bring warmth & sunshine with me!

Bring it over here. It's supposed to be 25C tomorrow
I have 3 weeks in January in Tenerife to get away from the winter a bit.
No, & I'm boasting because it doesn't often happen here in the NW but we've had really good weather except for a couple of days when it's rained a bit & been overcast! 🌞🌦 Seriously though damp & humidity are my worst types of weather so I can understand your poor joints letting you know about it. The S is due better weather next week according to the long range weather forecast so hopefully you'll start to feel a bit better soon.

Don't be so pessimistic Suzanne...drag out your Cozzie,pack a picnic & get off to the beach! You can always wrap up in a blanket!
in reply to AgedCrone
It's supposed to be hot this weekend. How do you spend Victoria day?
AgedCrone in reply to
I don't think they have heard of Victoria Day here in Tenerife Suzanne.....altho there are thousands of Brits who have retired here.....about 1% of whom have learned Spanish!
Hope you do get a sunny weekend.
I'm just about to have breakfast ...it's 0730 here, and I'm seriously worried as there are clouds in the sky!!!
in reply to AgedCrone
It 11:49pm here...and I'm holding on to my youth...oh it's a struggle...lol.....in 11 minutes I'll be a year older....
Enjoy the Canary Islands
AgedCrone in reply to
Happy Birthday Suzanne...you've got a LONG way to go to catch me up!
I love my little visits to these Islands, But I would definitely not want to live here full time.
Those clouds are getting blacker ....guess it's going to be a Duvet day....thank goodness for my iPad & movies on line!
in reply to AgedCrone
It's gonna be beautiful here
Nope. I'd never heard of Victoria Day. Celebrating the queen Victoria? Lake Victoria?
in reply to dtech
Really? You Brits don't celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday? For real?
dtech in reply to
Nope. Or any other kings or queensday.
in reply to dtech
Quiet dtech & Gnarli...ssh..Please don't let the Canadian government know this. We love this holiday here!!
Dtech -
you don't know your celebrations! Of course we have Victoria's day in Britain?
I'm ready to be educated. When is Victoria's day
Victoria Day is a public holiday in parts of Eastern Central Scotland, chiefly the cities of Dundee and Edinburgh, although it was formerly more widespread. It is celebrated on the last Monday before or on 24 May and commemorates Queen Victoria's birthday (24 May 1819).
Well, well. I rang a friend in Dundee, as I had never heard of it. They have it on the spring bank holidayMonday. So this year they have it on the 29th may. I thought you Scots got an extra bank holidayas well as the extra one to recover from Hogmanay 😉
AgedCrone in reply to
The way education is going here kids soon won't even know who she was!
Very sad state of affairs.
in reply to AgedCrone
All the kids here know & celebrate Queen Victoria's birthday. I'm really surprised you Brits don't. Lot's of fireworks, picnics and the 1st summer camping weekend of the year.

Fingers crossed they've got it right for you Sue & you can enjoy the warmth. x
in reply to nomoreheels
I'm off to bed now as it's 1 am . I'm hoping it'll be 26 C tomorrow.
And just think. Another four and a half weeks will be the longest day, and then the nights will start drawing in towards winter!🙄
Why thank you for that dtech. Pass the razor blades would you?
Now play nicely we got so much to be happy about come on dance like a crazy fucker 😁
Dance like a crazy fucker? I'm 63 with RA! You trying to kill me? 😝
in reply to Gnarli
Let's get him Jan!!!
in reply to dtech
Not impressed with that comment dtech....grr
You are a right little ray of sunshine aren't you D tech?
Off you go & gnash some more teeth!
Help! I'm being picked on and bullied by two girls! 🤣😅🤣😅
The sun has got his hat on ☀️😁 much better, I'm off to see my consultant strange it's on a Saturday again. I need something for pain as that vodka helped briefly last night but not recommended on RA meds 😆
Apparently the sun will only have his hat on until midday, when he will put it back on and p**s on us again.😏
And yes. A consultant on a Saturday?? Must be private.
Not private nhs & much less waiting time on Saturday so that's great.
Blimey! They don't do Saturday clinics here in Hertfordshire that I know of. Or at least the rheumy ones don't.
I hate to be the one to tell you this, but, it's lots actually
Like the "girls"!
Just had wipe out Monday Tues weds I am sure it's partly the weather to blame. I did overdo things a bit last week though as well.
Take it easy, I've just had a steroid injection in my shoulder & been told to rest for 2 days but it sure is nice looking at the sunshine through the windows 👍
I had mine in the bum on Monday. Feeling a lot better now. Hope yours works the same.
I will be having mine in Tuesday. Can't wait last one wornight off 2 weeks ago. Lol.
My tablets all worn off and, if it's synovial, it's blooming sore. Rheumy nurse next Friday though. She may have something nice and chemical for me
Jan
Upped my mtx to 20mg a week too 😏
Still, like I say, the steroid shot has worked. I can now complete a full golf swing without getting stuck half way. New driver arriving tomorrow, so need some practice with it before my weeks golf holiday with my son in Portugal. Probably need another steroid after that! 😂
Go for it D tech...it was my plan to play golf when I retired ...so what joints are really affected ? Got it it in one...my ruddy wrists!
So sadly I just lie by the pool pretending I am either Serena Williams (tennis was my first love) or Rory Wotsisname!!!!
Enjoy Portugal!
So far so lucky re the golf for me. Oddly enough my rheumy consultant said I had to stop playing squash, but golf was ok.
Never liked tennis, that's my wife's passion. She goes all over the place watching tournaments. She's Just got home from the Madrid open. Then next week off to Roland Garros for the French open.
I can't even hold a full tea cup,let alone a tennis racquet or a golf club.....but I'm on RTX & almost pain free, so I spoil myself with trips to the sun in the winter & am very grateful that I can travel & enjoy life again

I can beet that guys our summer came and went last week back to the winter cloths again till next year
