It’s Not What it Used to Be

It’s Not What it Used to Be

 

Well that’s that

then,

one more

summer gone ..

Thirteen

whole days

of partial sun ..

Not in a row

though,

but scattered

so very

randomly

between May

and September ..

Not like

it used to be

when we

were so young ..

    Reverse climate change or selective memory?
    The sun down here will fry an egg but maybe it's always been that way?

    • Neville



      I am hoping to see that egg fry in Jan 2025

          Bloomin awful summer, apart from June. I too can remember long hot summers. That was an age ago. Six weeks summer holiday when I was at school seemed like a life time. Out in the fresh air every day. Packed lunch and off to Churchill’s swimming pool. Those were the days:) Reflecting here Neville, not moaning. And as I look out my window, more dull and more wet. Still not moaning.
