Problem is the weeds are now growing well like...weeds :-)<br /><br />As for '76 I can remember being at school in stifling classrooms and suffering hideously in a uniform which was never geared to high temps....ugh!!<br /><br />@Gaynor--you and me both! I've had enough: too many consecutive days of rain and it's only 18C today!! Way below normal for here. Hopefully next week will be better.Niall & Antoinettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699304108340257145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-26739700778230548862011-07-18T20:56:34.922+02:002011-07-18T20:56:34.922+02:00Something similar happened this year when a part o...Something similar happened this year when a part of the UK (East Agglia, I think)declared a drought. It has rained off and on - and more on than off, it must be said- ever since!<br /><br />Sports day postponed today. Tomorrow's not looking too good either.<br /><br />I would like it to be warm and sunny again for the weekend. I wonder why?GaynorBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971753467966206018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-63318460890671762422011-07-18T18:27:34.098+02:002011-07-18T18:27:34.098+02:00Vive la pluie!

(No, you're much too young...) The day after he was appointed, the rain started, and did not stop for four months. I may be exaggerating a bit, but he certainly succeeded like no other minister in any government in doing himself out of a job.Pollygarterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519711639714303756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-771539132515843977.post-41592313930327778502011-07-18T17:05:13.099+02:002011-07-18T17:05:13.099+02:00Helo Niall and Antoinette:

We always think that no matter how well one tries to water one's plants, natural rainfall is so much more preferable.Jane and Lance Hattatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831890261259302647noreply@blogger.com
