    We live in a different world here in Shineyland. Most of the time it only rains when we want it but not always when we need it. The few occasions when there is too much liquid falling from the sky I power up the deflector shield. The shield is good against midges as well and they've learnt to keep away, just in case they get frizzled. Some mozzies seem to take a chance and occasionally come in.

        I have no idea! I am English and speak both lingos. Been over here nearly 20 years now.

        The midges in a damp climate are a breed apart. It was the same up in Orkney. Grown men would refuse to go outside on a bad day and the sheep would go mental. They are supposed to be crepuscular but no one has told them that.

            It is getting brighter and looks as if the SUN will emerge... This will bring the plants on massively!

                Warm with a warm breeze. Staying indoors tidying computer photos. Out tomorrow and Friday anyway. Cottage cheese and pineapple for lunch today ... I don't like big meals in the heat.

                  Not worth mentioning as whatever it's like at the moment it will be different in 10 minutes time.

                    Sunshine and 70f and looking at a humid 90f high and we're told it's going to be even hotter tomorrow. Closed the house and put the air conditioning on. My way of saying Uncle!

                          I will assume that the saying is pretty much only used over here - Uncle is saying "I give in" or "I give up" - in other words it's a losing battle and I now know it :)
