    The fruit flies are back over the kitchen compost bin.


    You can reduce the duvet quantity by 50%.


    The over-the-knee socks have not had an outing for several weeks.

        Last night we had the window open, no duvet on, and the pedestal fan on.

        Today, as I'm off work, the wife made me trim the hedge. That's ok though, cos I volunteered to collect the lad from school afterwards. If wife goes, she brings him straight home. If I go we have a detour to the sweets shop where today we bought ice lollies.

              when you hate all weather, love queuing, love having a sit down and will drink tea no matter what the situation.

              I was at the beach on the East Coast yesterday and it must've been about 28C, overheard an elderly chap complaining he couldn't get a cup of tea in a proper cup. It's nearly 30C man!!!!!

                      My favourite pastime in hot weather: Spot the old person wearing an overcoat or big woolly cardigan. There's always one.

                      Why? :dunno:
