    It was OK thanks. I think I over did the fennel though :roll: Moving on to 'Fig' next, as I like it with a little bit of Camembert or Brie and a baguette.

    Didn't we just have the dryest warmest May since records began or something like that ? I'm not above moaning about the weather myself but it's not been too bad round here at least.
    it's a hard life if you don't weaken.

    The forcast says that Saturday will be sh*t, Sunday will be nice and Monday, eeerm....... the 5day forcast doens't reach that far :D But if it's nice, i'll be taking a day off work :D

    I don't know why everyone is suprised though, we live in the UK, and it's Wimbledon week.

    We had similar weather patterns here in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 - I think I'm beginning to spot a trend! :cry:

    The constant rain is dulling the pain of not being able to afford a bike, so I for one am fine with it. In fact, I encourage some unprecedented summer snow.

    Do people forget we live on a slab of rock about 10 feet high in the middle of the Atlantic?

    Sometimes it rains, sometimes it's sunny.
