This week in tweets: What is keeping us all going?

Oh dear. Summer 2013 isn't making the greatest first impression ever. First the BAFTAs were hit by the wind – the sight of a plastic Dalek trying to remain upright on the red carpet whilst being slapped by rain did make me laugh a little.

Then it was the turn of the ultra-cool Cannes Film Festival to feel the brunt of the weather as opening night on the French Riviera was hit by a torrential downpour.

Great Gatsby cast and crew including Leonardo DiCaprio, Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher were all reaching for the umbrellas as was Nicole Kidman, a judge this year, and Cara Delevingne, the British model of the moment, who tried to pull of sexy and sultry but ended up lookimg like they had stepped out of a shower fully clothed.

I'm sat here at home listening to the rain lashing against my window and a wind howling under my front door whistling throughout my whole apartment.

A friend of mine who presents the news on TV (he shall remain blameless) says it should actually be 18 degrees in mid May.

Instead it's barely 10 and I'm wearing one of those jumpers I mentally binned as "winter wear" a month ago.

So to cheer us all up I set you the question this week: "What is keeping you going at the moment?"

We start with wishful thinking. Carol Stevenson writes: "I'm off to my step-daughter's hen night tomorrow then the wedding in June . . . just hope the weather is better than today,". I really wouldn't place any bets on that Carol.

Stacey Minott replied to me on Heart West Midlands' Facebook page: "Having a shower tommorow and revealing my fabulous (although fake!!) tan! I'm still trying to pretend its summer!" At least you are making an effort.

@Adam_C said it most definitely is the thought of "Cyprus. Some sun would be good. In fact I'm not leaving until I'm fully relaxed and I look like David Dickinson." I presume he means tanned and not 71.

Beverly Godfrey said: "Going on a cruise in a few weeks. Even if the weather is bad at least I can console my self with food – lots of food!"

And here's your cute "aw" moment this week. Jill Rollinson said: "Taking my 7-yr-old grandson 2 footie training then hear him rave bout how good he was."

There's the "make you jealous" replies like Heidi Stephens who says: "The end of the month it's my birthday and I finish work for three months holiday." Lets hope you have your wellies ready Heidi?

It does seem most of us are looking forward to a nice holiday abroad to get guaranteed sunshine.

In the meantime dig out your winter wardrobe, get the heating on and just think compared with the winter we've just had its like the Bahamas in the West Midlands...well almost!
