Morning/afternoon/evening pubbers
Glad you're all enjoying some nice weather. We've got a day of possible severe thunderstorms ahead again, but at least when they happen it will cool down. It's hot and humid!
I am trying to finish my new first chapter today. I've almost got the first (very rough) draft done. Yesterday I wrote 1200 words, which was amazing and really the first thing I have written in ages.
You'd be more than welcome, Z. But yes pack a jacket. And a cardigan, and a big jumper, and another jacket.
You'll save a fortune on suntan lotion, though.
If you are going to visit, I recommend May or September. It'll start bucketing on the 1st of June and won't stop till August.
What's the best time of year for a milk-bottle white Celtic viking to visit Texas?

I looooooooooove thunderstorms! We don't get them here very often, and they're usually weaklings.
Yuck about the weather.
But for getting some good work done!!!
Thanks guys!! I've just printed it out. I'm going to sit outside and try to edit it into a real first chapter.
I've also got Scotland (and England, and Ireland) on my list of "want to visit" someday. I'm re-reading the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon right now too, so that's making me think about it even more. My dad's side of the family is English--they came over to Canada when he was 11.
NOT Summer! (Unless you want to look like a lobster.)
It depends a little on which part of Texas. There are several different sections that have different weather. For this area, I'd recommend Spring (March-May) or Fall (October/November). Those wouldn't be as hot, would still have plenty of nice days, but would also give you a chance of enjoying some of those thunderstorms you love. Personally, I'd say late March or early-mid April for the spring wildflowers. You know how heather can make a hillside look purple? Well, bluebonnets do that for us only in blue. (For a taste, check out the Charlie thread where I posted a few bluebonnet pix. FYI - that thread has a lot of nice pictures and is well worth the time it takes to go though the entire thread to see them!)
