Hot - What - No - Warning.
Properly pink after an unexpected burst of August 31st sun. I would pose a piccie, but it'll put you off anything you might be looking forward to.
Where'd that weekend go? Where did August go? Where'd 2010 all of a sudden disappear to?
There are a few different years within the normal Jan to December. The financial year, your own birthday year - for me April 1st + 12 months.
September 1st is definitely that for a lot of people. The NEW SCHOOL YEAR is here !!!
Party on people, it will soon be Christmas and our first year on Breakfast will be over.
Now that really is crazy.

Did you fall asleep in the sunshine Chris and forget us?
Nearly a whole year since the Bye Bye Drive Time at the O2!!
Talk about wishing our life away!
I'm just getting ready to wave boy2 off to big school - he's fine, very excited!
Me? I'll let you know!
Annie, is the daddy-long-legs avoiding the paper for a reason? Is he fed up with the whole journalistic industry or has he read it already?

I agree, where does the time go? Don't you find that the older you get, the faster it goes too? Lend me Marky Mark for a bit will you, perhaps he can slow it down for me!

Where did the year go to indeed but I think we are yet to enjoy an Indian summer before we start thinking about Christmas.
It might as well rain until September comes to mind!

I've had 'one' of those days.
The drunk falling at my feet in Bridgwater at 4.30 this afternoon, seemed to kick start a downwards spiral of chaos.
Hope everyone is feeling chipper.
I got badly burnt yesterday, in my determination, to have a deckchair day.
It looks like the rset of the week is going to be good too.
It always happens once they go back to school.
Mine have been off since May, so it seems lke the longest school hols ever.
One starts college on Monday then the other is off to uni in the next couple of weeks, although their term doesn't start until the beginning of October.
The washing machine is going to breathe a huge 'phew!'
Now do I put up the sign...
Room to let ??
16 year old already thinks he is moving into it!
No way sonny!
Off to find some breakfast.

I have just watched the surfing sporting challenge! Excellent entertainment as always! I do feel a little chilly now though....burrghhh looked cold to me!
As for those who are just a little pink...... I would get my legs slapped if I arrived home in that condition. Malignant melanoma survivor twice is enough of a warning for me not to sun worship anymore.
Baggy, please be careful at work as a person can only take so much before something has to give! I am sorry to say that I have too much personal experience in this subject not for me to worry about you. Take care and sound off on here anytime you like. x-x-x
Keep smiling everyone

I should take more care, you know how strong the sea breeze can be here.
Maw, not sad at all.
I got home tonight and sat down with a cold one in the back garden, it was just about dark and all the solar lights were on.
We have always had a little mouse living in our wall, but tonight,it seems he has met and married and produced a fine little family.
They feasted on croissants and weren't at all worried about us being there.
The babies were minute!
I dont have you on fb.
I would love to see what you see over there.
Please seek me out.
I am now hoping that my little mice are tucked up in their beds as we have lots of owls, both screeching and twit twooing!

Second day back at work after holidays, we had a fabulous time in Aviemore and Blair Atholl (pics on other side if anyone's interested), weather was fairly kind to us most of the time.
Had to have Twix (border collie cross bearded collie) put to sleep yesterday, it was very sad at the time but she was 15 and had had a great life, will miss her though.
Hope everyone has a good day.
