Its a heady 20 C here today and where I live that's scorching hot. I don't think we know quite what to do with ourselves. You see, normally, it begins to rain at the start of June and carries on all through July and August before stopping, briefly, for a couple of weeks in September before the October rain starts. This whole sun and warmth thing in July is most confusing.
This isn't my best ode, but it pretty much sums up how it is here at the moment.
Ode to it being a bit hot
There's a lot of shirtless lobsters,
There's a lot of tiny skirts
There's a lot of sweaty cyclists
and I'll tell you what is worse
That we all look quite bewildered
That the sun is in the sky
and perplexed it isn't raining
Like is normal in July.

Whilst digging in my vault of useless stuff, I found this version of the Sound of Silence that I wrote when on Mat leave with baby-babyheave.
It made me smile as it refers back to a time when I was at home procrastinating, rather than in work procrastinating. Gosh. I've come so far.
The Sound of Mumsnet
Hello Mumsnet my old friend
I've come to post on you again
Because the youngest DCs sleeping
and the eldest is not peeping
and My DH is now watching boring sport
Of some sort
And so I'm here
On Mumsnet
In Morrrisons I shopped alone
then I lugged the groceries home
And then although the house needs cleaning
I found the thought just so demeaning
When my hands were spared by the thought of a fresh bun fight
On this web site
And so I'm here
On Mumsnet
And in the forums here I saw
Three hundred people, may be more
People posting random queries
drunken threads where posts are bleary
People starting threads that no one answers there
If they don't care
It's all in here
On Mumsnet
The fools that ask AIBU
and when told yes refuse its true
the parents obsessed with their buggies
advice on real nappies or huggies
And the topics where so few go silence falls
within their walls
Its all in here
On Mumsnet
But I must go now with regret
Before I'm accused of negect
As My eldest is now calling
and the youngest's started squalling
And My DH's banging on about the final scoree
its such a bore
but no more can I spend time
