When I was at work, it was stinking hot. At the weekend or when I had some time off, it was wet and windy. Joy.

Day 22 of my summer leave and guess what? Yep, you got it, it's raining again. Oh and it's only 12 degrees too. That's two days out of 22 where it hasn't rained. Every plan we had, except one, has been cancelled. At least we've been in our own home though. I really feel for those that have spent large sums on a staycation this year. Ten years ago I said I'd never pay to holiday in this country again. If we don't go abroad then we plan day trips or overnighters from the house. That decision has paid off every year.
Next year I fancy renting a villa in northern Spain for three or four weeks of the school holidays, getting a pet passport for the dog and driving down there.
I have been stuck out in Spain since February and thanks to five cancelled air flights will be spending a few more weeks in the ever relentless sun. My car thermometer was showing 38 degrees yesterday and that is bloody hot. I can't walk barefoot outdoors, and I am more or less trapped indoors with every fan whizzing around to keep the place cool.
I am one of the lucky ones with a private pool so I can jump in and out all I want, most hotels have shut their pools down. This place is bloody torture.
I can only dream of a nice cold rain shower. I envy you.
Envy works both ways Mick. I can only dream of being able to make plans for something. We're having my wife's parents round tomorrow for the first time this year and we'll be indoors. I could cut the (soggy) grass to tidy up the garden but what's the point. My youngest is at a friend's birthday party as I type. It's been planned as a BBQ in the garden but obviously that ain't happening. How dare they plan a BBQ in August! It's too late for me at my age but I'm encouraging the kids to get away and set their lives up somewhere else.

Although no trees were harmed during the creation of this post, a large number of electrons were greatly inconvenienced.
Unfortunately this summer involves the pandemic, but that gave me the chance to get a shot I'll never do again with no cars, people (bar 1 who sneaked in), students throwing frisbees, huge marquees full of food or faux heritage tat . . . blah blah blah . . .

Summer 2020 has been me and my family travelling along an open road of future possibilities.
We’ve had our moments but Corona has forced us closer together. Every cloud...

Eventually got a day without rain! Still cold though. Took the dog to the local pub tonight to have an end of holiday pint sitting outside. It was bloody baltic so we didn’t bother and came home for a brew to warm us up. Goodbye summer, you’ve been your usual twatful self.

I wondered why I felt a bit ‘woof’ the day after the vGTGs....
My summer. Taken in the morning having a swim to wake me up
Five degrees and ground frost this morning.
Pretty much this, it's been lovely. Working mainly from home has also meant more family time than usual, but you can't have everything
Don't just do something, sit there. - TNH
Staying at home, working on my Bonsai and drinking copious amounts of tea...
Time in the garden.
Some beautiful pictures on here.
Cheers,

Morning summer fishing...
