we've had a good summer though. They said on the radio that today was the first day since the beginning of june that the maximum temperature predicted was under 20 degrees.

The summer gloves have been put away. This morning's ride was chilly. I shut all the vents on the lid.

I'm hoping the fact you're all losing summer means we'll start gaining ours!! Getting sick of cutting up three weeks of kindling and firewood every time I leave for work.

Some friends are doing the Chris Evans "Car Fest" in Hampshire this weekend, one of them really feels the cold and isn't that fond of camping, after freezing his nads off in a field for 2-3days he'll be grumpy as hell. So glad I said no! (giggle)

The weather forecasters are talking about a one week warm balst before summer finally ends.

Don't they tell us the same thing every year?
