Rant 301 27/10/12 Subject: Overlapping seasons

Rant number 301

As of last Thursday, winter seems to have arrived.

The temperature - which has been pretty constant for quite a time has suddenly taken a plummet into winter. The thing is though - that it should still be bloody autumn which means just another season has been skipped away without a thought.

We've had winter this year in January - which lasted for quite some time, until around April - when we got spring showers. Summer offered up a glorious week - before autumnal showers started - and continued for several months. Autumn itself has last around a Month - and has been less rainy for while with even temperatures - until now.

It sucks that our countries climate has become so flat. We've always had a lot of rain - and a winter that has seems to last forever. Now - the winter seems to last around 2/3rds of the year.

Amusingly - the shops still try and sell you winter, summer, autumn and spring seasons of goods and clothes. There really doesn't seem to be any particular point though - with the way things are going.

I reckon at this rate - we're going to have to give up on there various seasons altogether and just describe the season as swinterauspringer.

By now - I very much doubt that we can do very much about it - except for emigrating somewhere more changeable.

That really is annoying - because autumn used to be my favourite season. Oh well.

Rant over.
