Stamp Collecting Doldrums ????

Is it just I or are others being affected collecting wise by the hot weather and outdoor activities of the season ????

Hot weather? Been rainy and cold here...

Hi Phil
The Honey do list is a great factor.

I would consider not mowing the yard and start my own prairie grass reserve, but I don't think the neighbors would approve.

I would agree. After working outside for 9 hours per day I'm not up for much else. I did find two projectile points!

London is experiencing some great weather at the moment -- and when the sun shines here you dont waste any second of it. Crossing fingers for another warm braai/bbq weekend. P.S. anything above 16 degrees is warm here :)

For those still on the Fahrenheit system 16 C degrees Celsius in London, England (or here in Halifax, Canada) is about 62 F. It was only 10 C (50 F) here yesterday with strong winds out of the north (a small bit of wind chill in exposed areas) and rain so I was back to a winter coat, me being so delicate and all. Glad to get in and warm myself by my stamps.

But it has been up to 28 C (86 F) the other day. It comes and goes. Being by the ocean makes it a bit cooler too. Nice in the hot weather, a breeze off the water.

I find I do stamps no matter the weather but perhaps I am a bit lazy and low on the activities engaged in. It is nice to enjoy the nicer weather though.

Celsius to Fahrenheit = (C x 2) + 30 = F roughly.

I usually have a hobby "short list" of things I want to do when I get the time. Might be something like ID'ing the dozen German WW2 stamps that have eluded me or whatever. So even if I get side-tracked for a few days, occasionally I'll remember that I've got my "short list" and it kind of cheers me up!

Mid 90's here in east central Georgia. Just a foretaste of what is to come in July and August. HOT

Er, cold, wet and windy here, with a log fire blazing. Great stamp weather!

Been working on a writing project, totally unrelated to stamps, I have just finished what appear right now as the longest three pages I have ever written.
And my laptop gave up the ghost just minutes after I copied everything to a flash-drive. Ya, good things still happen to me.
It's wonderful to come back to stamps except that a largish glassine of pre-1960 Russia is what's next for cataloguing.
Not exactly my favorite country, but ....

Raining and cold here so with Jubilee good stamp weather,
Just received my 50 covers for every state in the U.S.A.(flags)
now all I have to do is find the 12 pages for the album .

It is a cool 12C (53F)drizzly wet evening here, typical Vancouver area spring weather... same forecast for tomorrow (Saturday). Ah then maybe a great philatelic day! The wife is working all day, and I received lots of stuff this week from ebay, SCF members, etc so lots of sorting to do. Also getting a package ready for Stamperdudes Scouts... and searching local post offices for the recent marine life booklet varieties...so not a bad forecast after all!

Absolutely, Phil! (The new boat was delivered today - finally.)

Great day for stamping
After two days of rain it is finally Snowing.
So much for the Outside"Honeydo list"
Yahoooooo

What about the inside 'Honey-do list' ???!!

My wife always has one of those.
