Wow! What happened there?

Apart from a bout of pure laziness and the (so called) Summer getting in the way, I've managed to go a whole 5 months without a post or a podcast, sorry about that. I have been building up playlists, but just haven't got round to recording and posting them.

So, here is the first in a series of four new podcasts coming over the next couple of weeks, starting with stuff that I was listening to in May and June of this year.

May 2012. The wettest drought in history.

I think it was Jimmy Carr that said "If this drought carries on, we'll run out of umbrellas."
Kind of sums it up really!

Normally, at this time of year, I'm starting to look forward to those long Summer days (and nights!), but looking out of the window right now at a grey and damp London, Summer seems a long way off. I'm starting to get on Anna's nerves with my constant weather bitching and I long for Carol on the BBC Breakfast news to give me a good forecast, but alas, her recent predictions have only been good for the ducks and the farmers.

Apparently, there's a break from the rain this weekend, which will be nice as we have a wedding to go to and I do hope that the sun shines on the happy couple as they have had a tumultuous year and thoroughly deserve a dry day.

So that's me, a typical Brit, constantly on about the weather. An Australian mate once told me "At least you get weather", while that's true, I must admit that I do prefer theirs.

If you see the sun, do tell it to pop out over here for a bit.
Please.

So, with that in mind, if I haven't drowned, I'll catch you in a couple of months.

Hmmm, so iTunes can't handle two podcasts in one blog post then...

For some reason, the iTunes podcast directory only updates itself with one podcast when you add two, so this is just to get the second one in there.

How strange?
