Oh, I've no idea.
It could be cool, 12-15C... or 20C+
Very variable at that time of year, but usually pleasant.
I remember in my first year at uni, late May had beach weather and we were all amazed.
We did actually go to a beach and I went red on my legs.
Wikipedia says May in London is between 9-18C.

I was thinking about making a thread about 19th century art in the Art Discussion forum (came up with the idea after noticing an old thread on manet v monet). Worth it?

In a world that gravitates towards music, I've always been more taken with the visual and written arts.

I have no attachment to music... well, I have no skill and no desire to find new music.
I do have an iPod and I hate being on a train/plane without it.
D'you like my new sig? It's from My Antonia, I'm probably gonna write my dissertation on Willa Cather.

I don't have an ipod or things of that sort. My discman just went kaput on me. Sad and all that.
Oh, nice! She always seemed to be capable of wonderful characterisations. Of both People and Places. Though I think I've only ever read O Pioneers!

O Pioneers is the only other one I've read, which is a bit shameful if I've already written my dissertation proposal.
I'm going to read at least Song of the Lark as well this summer.
O Pioneers was 1912, Song of the Lark was.... 1915 ish? and My Antonia was 1918. They're her 'pioneer novels'.
The current thesis is something about how, between the Gilded Age and the Roaring Twenties, Cather redefines American successism as something that lies in the land, but it is still forward-looking (think of Alexandra's technical innovations in farming), and most importantly, it is an image of success that includes women.
Discman! Damn!
... my 4 year old iPhone has a cracked screen now, I'm probably going to get a new one for my 21st.

Some of Lucy Maud Montgomery's novels are set at the same time, I think. Though by that time I think they are less rural in scope. Otherwise, it might have made an interesting comparison, the Canadian with the American. This is if it was my topic, obviously >.<

I have an old 2nd gen iPod Nano. It's about filled up. :( I don't know what I'll do when it fills up... there's maybe 4 songs I'd be okay with taking off it, but I've got just as many albums that I'd like to put on it...
I wish I had something to add to the other conversation to add some fancy in my post to outweigh the iPod bit, but... I haven't read those books, sorry. :(
