More exclamation points

So this week seems to be yet more confirmation of my British weather theory.

This theory is quite simple - it's that the weather in Britain comes with exclamation points.  By that I mean that we don't seem to get gradual seasonal shifts, we get weather that suddenly veers from one thing to the next.

So last week I was wearing my jumper at work because it was chilly and traipsing around in a coat because it was raining all the time.  And we're not talking good old British drizzling - we're talking cats and dogs stuff.  And when it wasn't raining it was cloudy or foggy or some such rubbish.

But then suddenly yesterday it was sunshine and blue skies all day with promises of more of the same and today its 25 degrees out.

It's weather with exclamation points - one minute you're swaddled under 10 layers of clothing, the next you're having to drag them around because you'd collapse from heat exhaustion if you kept them on.
