Leaving London (for a while)
There’s nothing like a day of shitty London weather to make me happy I’m going off for the best part of 2 months.
Seriously, it has to be seen to be believed how crappy the weather can be in this town and how miserable and disgusting everything looks then. It rains quite hard in Israel in winter but at least you get that nice freshly wet ground smell that makes you feel all excited that the virtually neverending heatwave’s over for a little bit. People put on their woolly jumpers and wrap up like it’s some sort of Siberian winter even though it’s like 15 degrees because they want to make the most out of the illusion that they actually have *seasons*.
It’s fun.
Here you spend a couple of days wandering around in the rain and you just want to hang yourself. You kinda think it’s cute when you’re a tourist and the whole grey London day thing is a part of the whole London experience but fucking try living here and “enjoying” the “summer” we had this year and you’ll know what real depression feels like.
Early bird Christmas competition Winners!
Don’t you just loathe it when companies start bombarding you with Xmas shite months before the thing?
The first one I saw this year was a TV ad for some lameass sofa company x . I wish I could remember their name, cause they are the winners of the dubious honour of being the first ones to ram Xmas down our throats. There’s a special place in hell… (It was DFS!)
Argos came second followed by the Daily Heil going on about some gift giveaway. They’d win a special place in hell too, if they weren’t already there for supporting the Nazis and all that.
And so it begins….
