August Is Twelve Weeks Long

[scotrace]

It is a long August, but not because of the heat.

 

[devilish]

Here in San Francisco, thanks to the fog, we can wear our jackets more than most. However we do get an Indian Summer which it seems is starting a little early this year. However the main reason August/September will be looonng for me personally is because I'll be waiting for my Shackleton vest from Thurston/Aero to arrive. By then, hopefully our late Summer will also be over.

I saw (though didn't try on) a Shackleton in person at the factory last month. Nice thing. About the same length as a short thirties halfbelt, so waistcoat length, really. I'm tempted by the idea of one as an alternative to a jacket in that part of the year where I can't cope with the heat of one, and am forced to walk around feeling naked... Just not sure about the rounded neckline. I think I'd prefer a bit of a V, but then there's the danger of it getting into Sting territory. Not that I'd ever even consider wearing it without a shirt, but still....

Temperature is droppnig fast in London this month, and I'm wearing jackets every day. Blissful, heavy rain, too - I can't get enough of it all.

Yeah...it hasn't seemed too hot here. Not for August. But it has been long. I think being long is just in August's nature. Like a good friend who always stays at your dinner parties long after the other guests have gone home.

I'm so jealous!

Here in Japan we are having an unusually mild summer. Today is only around twenty three degrees C, and 80% humidity.
Might be able to start wearing my jackets at the end of September.
