Oyoyoy, the weather

[tvordlj]

I think my arthritis is turning into rust. This grey sky, fog and drizzle thing is really getting on my last nerve. We get one sunny day here and there, just enough to tease you. Then it goes away again for a few more. The Tall Ships arrive today. If it's like this on Monday you won't be able to see them even if they did sail out. Which they won't if the fog is as heavy as it has been part of today. Actually i can just see to the mast of a ship docked by the Marriott, it's got a bright flag flying. Couldn't even see that far this morning. Can't actually see the harbour though, that's fogged in. I'll bring my camera tomorrow on the off chance that it's cleared up a bit. Even if it isn't sunny, i'll probably go down after work for a first look-see. Saturday is *supposed* to be nice (ish) so that will be the main day for ship-viewing. Trouble is, lately, it changes by the hour. I have taken Monday off to see them sail so it bloody well better be viewable. Preferably sunny but i'll take what i can get.

I remembered what was on for July 21. That's the Pride parade. Haven't decided if i'll go again this year yet or not. Might do. It was nice last year. One great thing about having the rainbow as your emblem, the parades are very bright! I was going to say "colourful" but they are that anyway :) Our parade, well the one i saw last year, isn't as wild and wooly as the ones you see in Toronto or Montreal though i think in past years they have pushed the envelope. And then come under criticism because many people take their kids and are not best pleased to be seeing a lot of extra skin being flashed.

well if they're old enough to go to Pride and be told what it's about, then surely they're old enough to see adults dressed a bit unconventionally. If they aren't, don't take them. It's not clowns and brass bands. Not conventional ones lol
