it should be in June.


Saturday forecast: Dry all day Sunday.

It waited until I was mowing the lawn before it started. So I put it
away, and checked the forecast.

Rain all day Monday, showers Tuesday. So when it had stopped I
finished the lawn, even though it was damp.

Monday? Not a drop all day.

I do know it's not an exact science but I wish so much 'they' would stop
these idiotic forward by umpteen weeks forecasts. In reality, 'they'
admit 5 days is a push. I'm beginning to think someone is running a
book at the Met office to see whose most ridiculous pronouncement makes
it into the media!



"They" said it would be sunny and hot and they were right, but I know
that Summer is here now as this afternoon I had 6 horseflys that were
aiming to feed off me.
