Rant number 200
It may have escaped your notice boys and girls, but believe it or not - its summer. I'm not lying, really. Summer is around here somewhere. It just happens to be hidden underneath the cloud, the rain, the thunder and the hailstones.
It's been a bit of a wash out so far. In fact - its been a lot of a washout so far. We had a few early days that were stupendous - like, wonderful! Sun was soaked up, barbecues went through the roof (not literally, I mean figuratively. You shouldn't put a barbecue through your roof, either from above or below. It does no good to your barbecue whatsoever, and tends to leave a hole in the roof as well. I mean, if you want to - you can, I'm not ordering you. It's just a suggestion... If you do decide to do it though, send me a picture!) and everyone felt really happy.
The sun lasted just over a week. Then the sun went off on his holidays, leaving his slightly irritating brother 'rain cloud' in his place. Unfortunately though, he's been delayed in coming back.
Now, we've all been on holiday and we know that delays can happen. Your flight can be cancelled, there can be adverse weather conditions (less likely if you are the sun, granted,) there can be volcanic ash to contend with and of course, other things can happen to delay your return.
It wasn't any of that though. The sun has been locked up for several weeks, for streaking at a tennis match.
Childish - but true.
Today though, something strange happened. Not did the cloud clear a little, revealing just the teeniest bit of blue sky - but the sun came out. I'd forgotten completely what it was like almost.
It was just lovely in a way, except: now I want more sun!
I'm not a sun worshipper in any way. I don't sit and sunbathe all day. I do however, just want to feel the warmth and the light again.
Is that too much to ask for?
Rant over.
