BIL and 2 SILs visiting next week form 1st to 8th. Senior SIl has sent a mail complaining about poor weather forecast. Expected to be swanning around in strappy sun tops. I have pointed out they have chosen to travel on an EU wide public holiday - May Day, returning on a French national holiday - VE Day - and have a UK bank holiday Monday in between. Â
With all that I'll be amazed if we get any sun at all.
I keep forgetting we're due another bank holiday. I suspect I will need to spend the day weeding and mulching as my garden is disappearing under a sea of nettles that have appeared from somewhere. I suspect it was from when they strimmed the wild area next door at the end of last summer and sprayed bits of plants and seeds everywhere.
If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
I'm sure now the warm weather has passed people will get back to being grumpy again. There's too much of this cheerful nonsense going about.
  Don't the rellies have waterproofs, Obelixx? Bit cheeky of them expecting you to sort the weather specially for them though...
I'm curmudgeonly because, having recovered from a pulled muscle in an 'awkward place', I now have one on the other side. I have to stop going so fast when I'm walking. Stupid old mare. Â
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm miffed because I was woken up at 1.30 am by what sounded like an animal trying to flip over the food waste bin outside - not the first time it has happened, so we put a brick on top of it. Couldn't see anything and didn't want to open the back door in case I had encounter with a large rat or fox. This morning when I checked - nothing! All recycling bins in their proper place, watering cans okay - complete mystery.
I think the dearth of curmudgeon proves that gardening calms the curmudgeonly breast or is it beast? When the weather hot,cold or dry keeps us in the corner we have time to notice the injustices and irritations that make us what we are. A trouble shared is a trouble shared.Â
My missus is having a full blown curmudg at the moment. She cut her hours at work at the beginning of April and no longer works Fridays. Local forecast was for it to persist down from about midday so we didn't go out except to do a bit of shopping. We had about 5 minutes of rain and it's basically been sunny ever since.
She will learn to be flexible. It does take time to realise that free time is just that. Free to do with as you will and there are always things to do inside and out including just schlepping if that's what she fancies.

Hopefully you're right. At the moment she seems to expect to be 'doing something' i.e. getting out and about every Friday. I refuse point blank to go any distance over Bank Holidays as I have better things to do with my life than sit in endless queues or go along with heaving crowds.
