>>London is getting temperatures up to about 17 degrees celcius today and people are still walking around in puffa jackets, gloves AND scarves, big wooly coats and doing the ‘Brrr…. I’m freezing!’ thing with their shoulders hunched and hands in pockets. I want to go up to these people and shake their shoulders and wave a thermometer in their faces and say ‘It’s 3/4 length sleeve cotton/jersey dress weather without the need for tights with maybe a light silk scarf for jaunty decoration, not for actually keeping-warm!’.
Pity this very mini-mini spring wave is going to be short lived but I’m treasuring these few bare-legged hours as quite frankly, my tights drawer is making me want to heave and boots are starting to feel claustrophobic.

i so know what you mean. i’m starting to look at all my wintery clothes with a mix of boredom and disgust. but i don’t really have anything else… hence being in black and grey today. although there is a bit of sheerness.
bare legs are a no-go anyway though. wouldn’t wish to inflict the white glare on anyone.
haha! in greece it’s the opposite. you may be freezing outside but people (esp women -wanna be sexy all the time!) think it’s summer all year round.
Those of us with convict heritage, know 17 degrees celcius means tub tops and 5p e. Burn your boots and liberate your hose…it;s summer!
Sunshine! Oh how I’ve missed it. Not quite warm enough for me to relinquish the tights yet though but I’m definitely getting rid of my superwarm but superfugly tramp coat.
17 degrees? I’d kill for 17 degrees..or a bit of a cooling-down anyway..
I totally agree, why are people being all moany still?
Its sunny!
Mmmm, what nice weather. I never thought I would get sick of tights, but somehow, winter has made me long to just STOP WEARING THEM!!!
This winter has been neverending, it’s been going on for a year or something, it’s so depressing, today is indeed a beautiful day, for what i can see from my window because but i’m ill and i can’t get out, oh how i long for spring clothes.
what, that’d be still cold to me!!!
lol! 17 is hawt, these people are nuts!
wow its 17 there? it’s only about 10 in vancouver and everyone’s rejoicing…but of course it’s still raining
I wish I could say that sounded so nice but when I went to London and everyone was wearing shorts and saying what good weather they were having (it wasn’t raining) I was freezing my butt off.
I’m so jealous of London weather!
