Ah, Britain. Good old reliable Britain. It’s the middle of June, we’ve all bought new shorts and t-shirts for the summer and we’re confronted by what we in the office call “Murray weather.” I like the rain. I’m half Scottish and half Irish, I wasn’t built for the sun. However, I know that I’m in the minority and that for most people this weather is enemy #1, so here are some of my tips for enjoying the weather!

#1: Stand outside and embrace it

Ever seen a rom-com? Then you’ve probably seen a man standing in the rain, face to the heavens, water streaming down his face like a river of passion. As long as you’re prepared for it and you’re near to your house so you can go in and dry off, spending a minute or two in the rain is refreshing and wonderful!

#2: Movies

There’s a host of new movies out. If you haven’t seen it already, Jason Segel’s new Muppets movie is absolutely fan-flippin’-tastic. The critically acclaimed, Academy-Award-winning film The Artist has just come out. Daniel Radcliffe’s horror/thriller The Woman In Black is apparently a must-see for those who like to be terrified. And, of course, One Direction’s new DVD Up All Night: Live is out if you’re into that sort of thing. In short, we’re spoiled for choice as far as what to watch goes!

#4: EURO 2012

Come on, really? You didn’t see that coming? It’s the quarter finals and, with the notable exception of Greece, every team left in the tournament has a respectable chance of winning it. Yes, even England. Believe!
