Soup, yes, definitely, root veg, also baked potatoes and closing the curtains earlier - when we 'draw' the curtains, is that open or closed?



laundered and put away all thin clothes, sandals etc, so summer is definitely over, all children back to school, or will be by next week, and the swallows have abandoned us for Africa.

Omg I just bought the ingredients for Soup lol

I'm sitting in my kitchen wearing a fleece, hugging a cup of tea, eating speculoos crunchy spread* off a spoon waiting for the downpour to stop. In early September.



*Don't try this if you're trying to lose weight as it's more addictive than anything I can remember.

Don't write summer off just yet.


Back in Sept 2008 I won a Raffle in The Clock House.


First prize was a rowing boat for 6 - 8 at Richmond.


We went out on the 20th Sept. It was a scorcher in the mid 70's

Sunshine all day.


Stopped off at the White Swan Pub in Twickenham on the way out and the way back

keeping the tide with us.

I am loving this summer. I'd hardly even noticed that it's getting dark early.


Signs it's changing - the leaves falling as I was waiting on LL the other day - took me by surprise - hot water bottle last night, bought chicken soup today and no one wanted salad with their dinner this evening.


It was very hot today (well, my office is very sunny) and then torrential rain. I love it :-)


I don't like autumn when we're not had a nice summer....it feels wrong. Not this year though.

    • I’ve referenced it on here before but for context  https://web.archive.org/web/20221221103518/https://god.dailydot.com/bartender-kicks-out-tweets/   I think it’s relevant reading the flags thread - if you look at the people out there protesting and can’t see the problem is them being racist idiots but instead post on here calling people who point out their racist behaviour  “knob heads”   well, both the country at large and forums like this risk becoming nazi bars 
    • For reasons not worth going into, I am looking for a Jean Michel Jarre vinyl record that has Rendez Vous 4 and Magnetic Fields 2 on - so probably a greatest hits version. Cheers
    • This is my second recommendation for Leon of Electrical Initiative. He came today to fit two LED light fittings to my flat. No easy task as the wiring is about 30 years old, and the kitchen wiring was connected to the bathroom lights (for some reason). So the job was partially repairing my botched removal of the old strip-light fitting. "That's not so bad," said Leon, as he climbed his ladder and fitted a little connector and soon had the bathroom light back, then he fitted the new kitchen Lepre, and then the one in the living room. All in less than an hour. Thank you Leon!
