Another beautiful late-Summer day today. How on Earth anyone can doubt the onset of climate change based on this year’s evidence is beyond me. Snow in May? Still wearing jumpers in June? Overnight October temperatures in double figures Celsius? Does this sound like traditional British weather to you?
Anyway, I shan’t waste my time pleading to the unbelievers. If the opinions of every reputable scientist alive and the mammoth amounts of documentary proof that builds up each year won’t convince you then what chance do I have?
The good weather has placed me in a very good mood. I decided to give my bike a service today (which means I oiled the chain and cleaned it a bit) and it was so nice outside I wore just a T-shirt and shorts and had to put on a baseball cap to keep the sun from blinding me. Glorious. For lunch I made myself a nice tuna salad and ate it sitting at the table in the garden. All very middle-class behaviour. Then I had to drive into work and get hissed at by customers that should be on The Jeremy Kyle Show. Sometimes my life is like a dichotomy from a fictional fable, and sometimes the different aspects of my life seem so different that I feel as if I am existing in at least three separate dimensions at once, and that I live three separate lives which just occasionally crash into each other and over-lap.
Where’s the wine????
