And what therapy would that be? :lol:


The sort that involves taking my clothes off in front of a large mirror of course :D

Ah retail therapy, I could,nt even be bothered to do that to-day


Oh poor you :( I have to say that it really helped me, especially having someone to carry the bags and offer up their credit card :D

I start to feel it when the clocks go back and the evenings get dark earlier, when its usually raining and miserable. Sounds like this August tbh.

I am sure 20 odd years ago I used to take a summer holiday usually down to Cornwall, mid September or at least after the kids went back to school.
The weather used to be lovely, I never had a bad week. I certainly would not risk it now.

It's August Bank Holiday today, and I'm wearing a fleece in the house..... with a T shirt underneath.....and long trousers. Not had to water the garden this summer, and my 2x220 litre garden water butts are full up. The leaves are already falling from the trees.The overly cheerful weather woman on TV yesterday announced highs of 18c :shock: Possibly the worst aspect of this summer is the grey skies. So it would seem that this side of the pond we will slip into an autumn, which will look remarkably like summer.


Sounds perfect to me. As a whitewater kayaker, the more rain the better. Though ofcourse, in England/wales it doesn't help much as the rivers are privatly owned and closed to canoeing most of the year anyway. Here, the rivers and lakes are free passage for anyone, but for last several years we have had dry summers and the good water has gone by July.

Was going out for a long walk along the beach, its pouring with rain again, so I cant be bothered. Over the last two days leaves are falling off the trees, I think of it as Autumn already.


I love that weather when you can wear shorts and a sweater, my favourite part of autumn. I keep wearing shorts till my knees turn blue (though the sandals get replaced by socks and shoes befor that happens).

We don't need rivers and lakes, the roads will do just fine these days :roll:

I never stop :!:

However, about 3 minutes ago I got extremely excited because I've been informed by amazon that my "where to ski and board 2009" has been dispatched!!!!!!

The world can kiss goodbye to me for a while :mrgreen:
