Well, doesn’t look like the raindance has worked. I kept up my little precipitation jig for 45 minutes, but the sun persists in beaming down on Chichester. I’m awaiting reports from around the country to see if it has had effect in other areas – there are a lot of bloggers in London, so maybe their joint blogging-dancing aura might have had some sort of impact on the heavens.
And I’ll refrain from talking about the other thing that is on my mind, for various reasons, not least that it seems to bother this man and I don’t want to get overly friendly with any plate glass windows.

Today is National Kissing Day, apparently. Chance would be a fine thing.

Poll news: it’s very tight indeed! A fierce battle is being fought for fifth place, with Bexta being challenged by Matt, Mo and myself, as well as the resurgent Brooke. Poor Bella is (unfairly) languishing in last place, whilst, at the top of the table, Katy is extending a well-deserved lead. It’s all just sooo darned exciting!
Get your votes in before Cal decides to close the poll.

At 7pm today, UKbloggers up and down the land will begin a raindance. Hopefully this will bring on a storm, and, even better, stop just about every blog from being filled with moans about the weather. Alternatively, it’ll just give onlookers a bit of a laugh.

A steady light rain outside of those fat, round, lazy raindrops that only fall on hot, still, sticky, humid, sultry nights in the English summer – the type of rain that seems to evaporate before it hits the ground, but can still soak you to the skin in an not entirely unpleasant way. It’s the sort of evening when I should be out there walking with someone lovely, but instead I’m sat in here, wondering what CD to put on next, hoping the phone will ring and trying to summon up the energy to cook dinner, wash-up, do the laundry, hoover the floor or something.
I’ve always found that warm summer rain in the evening is a great mood enhancer. It doesn’t matter if I’m feeling happy or sad or depressed or whatever – that feeling will be increased by rain like that which is falling right now. Even more so if I were to go out and stand in it. But at the moment, I am (reasonably) content to sit here and listen to the cars swishing through the water outside my windows.

Thanks to Reblogger, the comments function is now back and active. Unfortunately, with the apparent demise of BlogVoices, all the old comments have been lost, but at least you now have the opportunity to easily interact with Grayblog once more.
So don’t be afraid to speak up!

Further to my earlier comments about using old browsers, if you use an old browser, please read this and act on it.

Another evening spent in Priory Park, reading, watching the world and a cricket match. And thinking – a really bad habit that I should try to break, as it never seems to get me anywhere.

Thunderbugs are ickle. And bloody irritating.
