Summer is done here. We are now entering early Autumn - there will be a few hot days sprinkled around before the end of September, but mostly it is done with and it's time to shake out the knitwear. Sx
Ours didn't really start till mid-June, so it is whizzing by at a rate of knots. Unlike Ms "Doom-and-Gloom" Scarlet, however, we're keeping everything crossed for a lovely "Indian Summer"... I don't usually put a jacket on before October, and I am not going to start now! Jx
Anytime now we are going to be plagued with the infernal thrips, minute 1mm insects that crawl over your scalp, arms and legs, they get into places you wouldn't show to a doctor and they itch like mad.
Roll-on autumn, roll-on winter. Go away underboob clamminess.
We used to get what I think was the Blandford Fly at our last place - and I found out the hard way I am extremely allergic to their bites; at various stages my arm, leg, belly-button (ouch) and eyelid all swelled up thanks to those little bastards. Jx
My summer is doing just fine, thank you, but it seems to be going at a different seed than yours since my Monday was August 5. Lead foot canadians.

MISS SCARLET: Is it time that Infomaniac reverted to a knitting blog?

ReplyDeleteJON: Not even a smoking jacket?
DeleteI don't need a jacket to smoke, dear...
DeleteOf course, if one were to be invited to a society do, one would dress appropriately for the occasion. Jx

Agreed! We have already been plagued by storm flies. This has been a particularly hot and clammy summer with the associated insects.
