That was summer.

Well that's how it seems! Yesterday was forecast to be glorious and it was, today was forecast to be horendous and it was glorious, although this evening the rain did come down with some force amidst a storm that included thunder and lightening. May be that was summer - I'm not sure.

Managed to spend half an hour this afternoon relaxing in a chair on the pontoon outside the boat in the sunshine and wearing my shorts! The week is set to be wet but with the promise of warmer weather in the lead up to and during the bank holiday weekend. School is closed this Thursday due to the premisies being used for elections, (health and safety says we're not allowed to have kids on site when members of the public are free to roam!) It's report writing time so that will most certainly be the order of the day for Thursday and then the bank holiday weekend.

Still getting used to the new car - no regrets whatsoever and extremely useful around the marina. Had it's first use in anger today - the glamorous task of driving round the fields to empty the dog pooh bins, (!) and then a run along the muddy bank of the adjacent lane to allow a passing van to get by. It now has its first mud up the side!
