After a spicy lunch I've been forced to eat two mini choc ices

Got an Amazon delivery today.
Something my son is having sent here.

Might have something for me in the post.
Probably not though.

It's raining

It's raining here as well

Forecast here.
So far it hasn't.
Oh the suspense.

I've ordered a Bullet..

Britain's washout summer: Met Office warns of yet more rain with up to ten days of showers as temperatures struggle to climb above 20C into August

• Forecasters say weather going into August will remain unseasonably unsettled 
• Prospects for 'prolonged dry and hot spells' next month are currently unlikely 

If you're wondering whether we've skipped summer and moved straight into autumn, the figures back you up.

For July was cooler than June for the first time in more than half-a-century – and the wettest since 2009, forecasters said yesterday.

And there's little sign of August being much of an improvement, with the Met Office warning that the prospects for any 'prolonged dry and hot spells' next month are currently unlikely.

The Met Office says this week will see more unsettled weather with rain, showers, stronger winds and cooler temperatures.

Into August, the country is likely to see thunder, sunshine and showers. Temperatures are likely to be mostly below average, forecasters predict.

Brian was right. Summer is cancelled.

I think it's my fault. When all the reports of the European heatwave started I put up a ceiling fan. It is a very good ceiling fan. I've had it on twice. Once to test it. Once when I sat on the remote.

relatively cold and pouring here - I'm going to put the imitation log burner one for the first time in months

Put the light on at 8pm last night..

My son's Amazon thing hasn't arrived yet. It will turn up when I'm in the loo for sure.

I did get the thing I bought in the post. That was Amazon too but from China. I think I've broken it already.

2 minutes of tedium

Well there's a dinky toy, does it make tea though ? 

It might have when it worked...

Its getting dark here already.
