Remember the year when Summer never really started? Instead all we experienced was a series of damp days with the occasional sunny day scattered randomly amongst them. No? well perhaps I’m a bit older than you. Or perhaps it is just a trick of an ever more decrepit mind giving up the ghost…Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps.

Whatever the case it has certainly been a disappointing summer so far. Of course the truth is that there are millions of people around the world who might enjoy a cool damp day or two – perhaps help save their subsistence crop that is dying in the strong remorseless sun. Sometimes when moaning about one’s lot it helps to realise that many more people would love to have such problems.

This is true but just one day of summer? Maybe?
