Thoughts on the weather by Mark!


Well where do I start?...



The weather! We keep hearing news that those of you in England are having some kind of heat wave. A heatwave! That's just great.



The weather here ranges from overcast to heavy rain. While it is a comfortable temperature for working, the constant rain on outings really puts a damper on the situation, especially you have only packed a limited supply of clothes for such weather; i.e 2 jumpers!



For example, yesterday my group had an awesome trip to some caves in the mountains. The weather was ok until we left the first cave and headed to the second, which happened to be filled with ice. Naturally I was organised enough to have only brought a hooded top in my bag,[everyone was told to bring coats!] which was about as effective at keeping the water out as a tissue. It's lucky that the second cave was even better than the first, as the -4 temperature wasn't so nice with wet clothes.

Oh well, at least we could return to a nice, hot shower. I wish. The hot water isn't turned on in this area until tommorow. At least nobody hogs the bathroom.
