Peggy's Mundane Thread

Nice to see that summer is nearly here.....bringing with it flaming June.

For instance....last Saturday......rained on and off all day and felt cold.

Sunday definately colder and more steady rain.

Bank Holiday Monday.......rain followed by more rain and cold.

Today Tuesday......raining heavier non-stop.... and colder still.

The pond on the lawn has developed (haven't got a pond) to nearly the size it was in Jan/Feb time.

The garden table and chairs are looking very redundant at present.....you would find it hard to believe I sat out there in my shorts in March/April soaking up the sun.

Who named June flaming.....three more days before flaming June, can't wait for it to start.

We were baking yesterday and today is nice as well, wtf happened to the wettest part of the uk bar Carlisle?

It was quite warm in Berkshire on Sunday. The wife and kids went swimming in an outside pool at Cookham.
I wasn't so brave. I sat in a deckchair and read a book with my coat on.

Precipitating ferociously here in Ayrshire, hoping for better weather on the south coast on Friday.

Okay, okay, I get the drift of this conversation........hope you all got sunburn .....well only a little.

I had a BIG coat on (cue the ' he ate all the pies!).

Continuation of.....Summer is nearly here.

Wednesday....still raining....pond on lawn starting to develop it's own invironment....but haven't seen any ducks as yet taking up residency.

Mrs Zyph and I had planned a day down Brighton....meeting up with a friend to walk along the front to Hove and back...and a possible meal in the Marina afterwards.....one phone call later....trip posponed until next week.

During the the winter deluge I had jockingly planned to build my own Ark,.....if I could get planning permission from Noah of course....beginning to think I should look-out those plans again.

There must be some desperate parents around here at present wandering what to do with there youngsters during half-term.

The wife has gone with the kids to Ikea today. Feck knows what crap they will come back with!

Swedish I would think.

What ever they bring back I will be paying for it!

Not bad in Tavvy terday.

That's nice....one Blackbird...and later one Robin having a quick wash-down in my lawn pond....aah.

just ate a sausage roll

I'm going to bed early tonight.

I can confirm that it hasn't rained here since 1-30 pm.....obviously starting to build up to the start of flaming June.

Well....come on then,what was it....tell us !

Tea bloody candles, sandwich bags, serviettes, some special fabric and a poxy chair!

What a waste of a day!

I put all the things that I need in the van all the time, back in the van after they all migrated into the house.

Dead headed a million bluebells and a herd of Welsh poppies.

I see Rapsons Guz Forum was about as much of a success as Cerbera's.

Bought a new bag on Wednesday (hand/work, black, shoulder, leather, if you must know). Took it back today. Brought it home again once they'd taken the security tag off. It didn't set the thing off when I left the shop with it, but it did when I took it back in.

PS Iggy: not picked a tomato yet (bit of a setback when I potted them on and put them outside). Won't be long, though - the baby ones are just appearing. Bless.

I've got tiny sungold toms just set, one of my favourites they are. Nursing a huge hangover didn't get to bed until past 3am because I was dancing to music in between drinking and cavorting and eating spit roast lamb, great party.

Weather a bit moody in Crete. Got the June avatar up but sideways. Oops.

Have a good holiday, however moody it is in Crete it has to be better than Tavvy, it's shite all week here so make the most of it.

And to make matters worse we had an earthquake today, about 1 pm the kitchen did a little judder.
