Summer has been ... again !!!

I might have told you in a previous post that we seem to be getting two days a month of hot weather.  Maybe I didn't tell you.  Maybe I just thought I did.  Anyway ...  we had two hot days in May, two hot days in June, two hot days in July and we've just had our two hot days in August.  They are now forecasting rain and thunderstorms for tomorrow so it would appear that Summer is over again.  I wonder if the weather will run to two good days in September ?  I sat in the garden for maybe an hour yesterday and again today.  It was a bit of a job to do as we had to dodge the clouds yesterday and then a few drops of rain today.  Never mind.  It also poured down with rain yesterday evening just after we had watered the entire contents of my aunt's garden.  Oh well, the rain is good for the garden I guess.  My mums plums are doing well.  See for yourself ...


See, they are quite red aren't they ?  We still daren't eat one though.  She might know.  She might be on holiday but she has this sense of knowing what's happening at all times.  I once thought she had eyes in the back of her head.  Of course I know this isn't true because when I was about six she woke up while I was routling in her hair looking for her eyes.  We won't eat the plums but they ARE nice and red.  I think my arm might be catching up in colour too.  Wanna look ?



The End.  And possibly the end of Summer too.

  1. Eat the plums! Do it! They'll be overripe or rotten by the time she gets back.

  2. Okay, so maybe we just tasted a plum each to make sure they were okay !
