Lovely car MrsMad, may you have many years enjoying her!
I remember 1976, vaguely. It was a pretty good summer in 2006 as well, I spent a lot of time out on a rug with baby DD. And 1990 was another scorcher (World Cup interfering with InterCert exams....and definitely lots of brown grass around).
Given that the cold weather hung around a long time this winter with a blocking (high/low? must ask OYBBK/GloriaSmud) pressure system, I wonder is that what is happening now again with the hot dry weather? And is this really climate change in action? (And even more importantly, is it likely that we will start to get snow before the all important date in December so we can have a real White Christmas sometime here?!!).
Meeting yesterday was worse than I feared. I have to go back and re-do a large chunk of a major project we're working on for the past 4 years. S**t......'scuse me swearing.
DD couldn't face chilli for dinner last night, but wanted something cold or sausage rolls or similar. She did eventually compromise on having the chilli in taco shells, with the bits like fajitas (sliced tomatoes, sliced onions, corn, salsa, grated cheese) to add. So I did that for us all as it was a bit lighter.
A late start today - DH had a very early flight again, and DD was tired so I let her sleep a bit late (she was just about on time for her camp, but did ring to say she'd forgotten water shoes and has to wear her runners which will get soaked in seawater). I'm going deep into legal issues, so a bit of light relief is needed.
I may have a look at the Movies24 schedule, and tape a few things for myself (DH deleted the ones I had taped and not yet watched, the brat, so a little light relief at home could be good too).
Have a good day everyone!
