Steamed rosebush and trash can does sound a heady mixture though!<br /><br />Mouse: good post-op weather for relaxing and reading, and I hope you're doing well. No prancing for you just yet, but by the next solstice - who knows?<br /><br />Marigold: that's true British stoicism - not changing the duvet back, but lighting the fire (and de-frosting the bed socks?).Relatively Retiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07648407316162715318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-53871611783983899432012-06-22T14:13:45.765+01:002012-06-22T14:13:45.765+01:00Lovely post - makes use of our typically British s...Lovely post - makes use of our typically British sense of humour too! I think I'd rather bee too cold/wet than be broiled and parched though and with our ever hopeful outlook we are all still looking forward to some better weather in due course - perhaps sometime in November?! Must say I have changed my duvet though and not needed to change it back though we did light the fire last night!!Marigold Jamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02895195019277206960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3430310340733122486.post-48178115589479097152012-06-22T14:07:52.662+01:002012-06-22T14:07:52.662+01:00Indeed, the great British summer in all its glory....Indeed, the great British summer in all its glory.

I've barely left the house (air conditioned, thankfully), but on a late evening walk the other night the air was pungent with every steamed rose bush and trash can. Thunderstorms tonight will usher in more reasonable temperatures - we've actually had cooler than normal temperatures up until this.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489924859026895536noreply@blogger.com
