yeah weather is shit most of the time. We get perhaps 2 or 3 months of decent weather in summer. It rarely gets "hot" though, maybe a couple of weeks in a year.

 

[wizer]

That blows. Especially when you're retired and you want to get out more. At least you got fish and chips

 

[Adam Hitler]

thats why a lot of our retired folks emigrate to sunnier climes. Spain is a favourite

and Brits have to deal with visa issues just like the US due to Brexit. If we didn't purchase property here or invest 400,000 euros in Greek bonds we'd be limited to 90 days per 180 day period

We really fucked up those jet setters with brexit, haha

Brexit really screwed up 100s of thousands of petsitters on TrustedHouseSitters.com which is Uk based

 

[wizer]

we get sitters from that platform when we travel. They get to stay for free and the host gets free house/pet sitting services but it's tough for Uk sitters and they have similar issues with the US (as do other countries) but Uk is isolated from US and Europe

Hot in the UK is the early 20's (Celsius). Anything in the later 20's or early 30's is a mass extinction event for them. They turn red like boiled lobsters and start throwing themselves into water fountains and duck ponds.

It's hilarious to watch from afar...

Having spent a week in England last year and learning that the weather was typical, I can see why. Sunlight and warm is almost a myth over there.

Kind of the same here in Vermont, but we do get some lovely days here and there.

I do house sitting, I combine it with my other work.

 

[Cookius Monstarius]

Where I line the breeze hides the burn and Lobsterisation, others just sit in the sun drinking.

That’s some anus cocky monster, does it envelop the entire house when sitting??

 

[X]

Wow!!!!

 

[Fredricka]

The upside, frood, is that we can go for a swim without making ourselves into meal and we dont have to check every nook and cranny for venemous snakes and spiders when entering a room

 

[Fredricka]

I bet some of those snakes get in toliets and bite your ass too

 

[Fredricka]
