Did we have a summer season?

Oh! There is bright light filtering through the trees this morning. Am waiting for the wooden steps in my garden to dry out so that I can treat them with Jeyes fluid to prevent the growth of slippery algae which makes them lethal for me every winter.

I have some railings on the balcony that need revarnishing, Anno!

You've never seen what I can do with a paintbrush, Greatnan. It's not pretty!

Ah no not the Orient Express but Great Rail Journeys to Tuscany it is a luxury trip though lots of dressing up drinking wine and eating in fancy restauants and a castle one night.

I think the summer has been OK here. Nothing special; nothing awful. I've forgotten. Today was nice. Breezy. Not hot, not cold, not much rain. Fine for working outdoors and in. I'm content with that.

I like that.

Seems I was right about an OK summer. We're in the middle of a thunderstorm (with lightning and hail; fun! – got the washing in and DD got home before it started) and DD said "I've stopped expecting rain in Scotland, we've had such a good summer".

So there you go!

I still say just OK, fairly typical, changeable, nothing to complain about.

I thought, when I was in the bath today, we did have a summer. There were nasturtiums and marigolds in the garden.

This afternoon I switched the fire on for a while.
