Couldn't agree more (well, maybe ...), as I sit here looking at another 28 degree blue sky outside and deciding to stay in and do some internet surfing:)<br />Another post could be on how miserable, sorry, interesting weather affects the artistic creativity of a nation .... just how many fantastic legends have come out of the dark winters "enjoyed" by norther Europeans. Could a Mediterranean writer have come up with Beowulf or even the Hobbit?<br />What about all this pop/rock music leaving England's shores? Would the Beatles have spent so many hours rehearsing , playing, and perfecting their art if the sun had been shining?<br />Catalan art is COLOUR - look at Gaudi - influenced by the sun? But then everyone drives a grey car and wears black!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613762050863476962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-16851257898745920852013-06-28T11:48:48.024+01:002013-06-28T11:48:48.024+01:00Sir YP, I have to back up Helsie as ambassador for...Sir YP, I have to back up Helsie as ambassador for Winter in Queensland ~ perfect.

"I feel very vulnerable" - underneath it all, I think we all do.<br />GORILLA BANANAS Welcome back you hairy beast! To my knowledge there are no gorillas living in Yorkshire apart from an old silverback at "Flamingoland" near Malton. He needs a grumpy old chum.<br />HELEN Are you now employed by the Queensland Tourism Authority? Do you and Tony do bed and breakfast?

Coming from a warm climate where I greet summer with dismay I often yearn for life in a colder climate but whether I would really enjoy it with it's dim light and wet slushy days is another thing. I love the cold when it's crisp and bright and sunny but if I also have to endure wet and dull... well I don't know.<br />However if you are looking for weather that's just about perfect then Queensland in Winter is the place to be. Cold nights , cool days and sunshine that's warm on your back as you sit in the sun without raising a sweat. Ahhhh ! No SAD here.Helsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136273834165751276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-78021424733926129612013-06-28T07:39:34.519+01:002013-06-28T07:39:34.519+01:00Yes, it's a moody climate for moody folk.

I knew you ...Why Mr. Pudding, you do do very well! I knew you would. There was simply no need, if indeed I even could, define the steps - create, craft, and post.<br /><br />While our perceptions of weather phonomena may differ somewhat I found yours to be extremely descriptive and insightful of how this stuff affects you. Yes I realize we Americans, err former colonists, are often lazy and use "do" and "stuff" when other words would be more accurate.<br /><br />I am particularly impressed with two aspects of your article. First, all you said about S.A.D. Just tonight my nephew and I were discussing the major problem with living in Portland, Oregon. And that is the prevalence of S.A.D. sufferers because of the lack of sunshine. The second engrossing part was the number of years our ancestors were not only affected mentally by the weather but also physically. Actually, I imagine that, they lived or died by its whims.<br /><br />I believe it is your contention that is why weather affects us the way it does. Perhaps you are right. I agree whole heartedly that if you strip away our veneers, we are the same as those early ancestors struggling to stay dry and warm. I know without my veneers, which we call clothing, I feel very vulnerable.David Oliverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04260130060172457192noreply@blogger.com
