Today started like it was going to be a bit
cooler we are cheered and waved flags. Now you might be thinking waved flags,
who has flags to hand just to wave because it is not very very very hot. Well
remember in just a few days time Britain will be involved in one huge
overindulgent street party where we will all eat soggy sandwiches and damp hog
roast because of the torrential rain. So all the international readers I can
now hear thinking WHAT RAIN? Have you
not complained about the heat for at least a week, yes I (We) have, but plan an
important outdoor event and it will rain. And then the international readers
will be confused because we will all complain it is raining and why couldn’t it
be nice for once when we plan a street party. This you see it classic British
grumbling at its best, and why we hate and love the weather.
This is what Heavy Harry & Sooty the Cat do when it is very HOT
Anyway after a short time
of cheering and waving flags it became very very hot again and everyone wilted
and grumbled because it is very very hot and it will rain at the weekend and
ruin our street parties and it is all the queens fault. She should be
sacrificing Corgi’s on the sacrificial alter in Westminster
The Ghost Writer made the
mistake of going to the grey office with the windows that have been bolted shut
by the health and safety man who is convinced that everyone wishes to leap out
of the window. As the Ghost Writer says until they bolted the windows shut
everyone was happy but now it is so hot in the office that everyone wants to
leap out of the window. This apparently is a classic ‘Catch 22’ situation where
if you allow the windows to be opened it is cool and the workers are happy, but
they could jump out of the window. However bolted closed the office boils and
everyone wants to jump out the window but they can’t. If they could then all
twenty two of them would jump and the fire brigade would have to catch them,
thus the saying Catch 22.
I have spent the evening
on the back patio watching mayflies and playing African rain rhythms with my
drumming colleague so that we can complain it is raining rather than complain
it is hot,
Finally I would just like
to wish my blogging friend Mr Bumferry Hogart. in his effort to beat the world
record for wearing paper hats in lots of different places all at the same time.
I think he has to explain all, on welsh television which is tricky because Mr H
doesn’t understand it either.
Not sure I have time for
any cultural Olympian tonight…….. I hate the Olympics now and they haven’t
started yet, and its going to rain.

I was confused by the meaning of your sentence piece,
ReplyDelete" ... but now it is so hot in the office that everyone wants to lead out of the window."
I checked the melting temp for lead to see how hot your office might be: 327.46 deg C
I wasn't sure if the 'lead' reference meant that people wanted to be snipers, and shoot lead bullets, or if there might be elemental lead chemical maybe from stained glass windows, or perhaps they had discovered lead based paint that needed to be removed for safety reasons, as children like to eat lead paint, or so I am told.
Where I grew up as a child there were two towns nearby, Deadwood and Lead.
DeleteWell spotted Mr ESB I will correct this in time because as we know one error leads to another.
DeleteIts all the fault of Qwerty and his stupid keyboard
Oh! I see now, it was s'pposed to be leap out the window, not lead.
DeleteI checked the Qwertyuiop keyboard, and the letters d and p are quite a long ways away from each other, with the letter d being kind of westernly, lets say Nevada, and p appears to be New Englandishly, lets go with Maine. Hmmm. I think the lead-leap event may have happened due to a visual rotation thingie, of p d p d p d p d being different by a 180 degree rotation. And you have been mentioning that the degrees have been getting high there temperature wise, so may a couple of hours of 90 degrees seemed like 180, especiaLLy if you might have been outside, and this may have overcame the energy of activation to make the p rotate to a higher energy state of d. Unless of course d is a lower energy state than p, in which case you can ignore this eXplanation. I just hope it isn't fatal and or contagious, as I would miss you if you disappeared from blogland.
I will not vanish from blogland until I reach a million words (not including comments, they are not in the word count).
DeleteI think the p d b thing is a brain problem mixed with the ability of my hands to type a different word than I am thinking. Not sure how that works but it happens a lot.....
Time for a Jubilee celebration already? Ah that would explain all the flags adorning windows buildings and cars. Huh, I thought it was to celebrate my birthday next week. 21...again. I'm pretty sure that I've been 21 for the last 10 years.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it looks like thundery showers are heading our way. I think I'll go out and dance nekkid when this happens, because it's too damned HOT!
Age is a mind thing you can be 21 as long as you like Miss Lily. I pretend I have the mind of a six year old but with the knowledge and writing skills of a six year old and the physical dexterity of a six year old. Although with the added heat of present please add another 600 years to that.
DeleteHave you warned the Lil man of your plans when it finally rains, he may need to hide. It would be something of a shock if it happened during his birthday party that he is not allowed.
You should be having a joint birthday party Miss Lily as your birthdays are so close.
Normal would be rain..maybe England can hold out for abnormal..hummm?
ReplyDeleteNormal in the UK is not sunny not warm not cold, sometimes a bit of drizzle and the odd day that can feel almost warm, Sometimes a bit of a wind or frost and often overcast. A sort of almost weather, where we almost have seasons but not quite.
DeleteI s'ppose things could be worse. I am sure that global warming is preferable to global worming.

DeleteSeems there is a lot to celebrate this year!
ReplyDeleteLove those cats!

The cats are struggling with the heat so hide in the coolest room in the house.
