Bloody England. I don't know why I don't just sell up and move to bloody Florida ..... not only would I have sunshine all year round, but I could also eat burgers every day and buy a hover round so that I wouldn't have to put any effort into hauling my fat ass around town. Because as far as I can make out, calories in America are like cows in India - sacred - and should therefore never be consumed or burnt off.
In fact, after the summer we have had in the UK, I positively relish the thought of being craned out of the roof of my house on a reinforced stretcher so that I can occupy the sun lounger in my 'sunshine state' yard.
Pic.No.1. Me pretending to live in Florida. I am holding a terrier dog that isn't Naughty George because in the sunshine state everything is lovely and sunny and things like bastard dogs don't exist (Ok, I know you probably can't tell, but Photoshop editing is involved in this photo)
My whole state of discontent was definitely made worse when one of my best friends (Clare from the blog 'Yes his name is Gary') who lives in Florida, called me today to say that she had just experienced the hottest day since 1961. Hey Clare! I am suffering from Autumnal angst! Don't tell me things like that!
As if that wasn't enough, this morning I managed to drop a small piece of toast under the 'F' key on my keyboard, so now there is a crunching sound every time I swear.
Do things get more desperate than this?

As someone who would much rather be all cosied up in cardis and scarves than exposed to the Elements, I can't agree at all. I love it when the summer is cool. And who says you can't drink Pimms inside the house while looking out at the rain and wearing thick socks?
Ha ha typical English stating the con's of our countries climate. I have found it a struggle already not having a car at present and a very eagar 18 month old.
Blimey how are we expected to entertain our young, and ourselves, when we can't just take a leisurely stroll by the sunny seaside eh?
Any room for Two men, a cat and me of course in your move? ;-) I'm so up for that.
Thanks for your comments by the way :-) big smiles
Take care

:( I will not tell you we had ab out the hottest summer on record here because I don't want you to have to crunch that f anymore. :)
LOOOL! CLASS!
I agree with you about the weather, it felt like just last week, I summoned the courage to get 'the dress' and now its autumn??? Like wtf???
Also very good to see I aint the only one who eats at her laptop (blushes).
Love this blog Ann! Keep it up
Yep, summer definitely happened in April, May & June and not when it's supposed to! :S Weird bloody climate change ...
Move to Italy, then you'll get lots of European visitors (did I tell you I loved Italy? lol).
Poor Annie ... get those candles lit and think cosy! :D :p
Haha .. just spat tea at the screen at that picture :-)
That picture is hysterical!
I love Autumn. Having lived in Florida my whole life, there was no real fall there. Since we've moved up north where the leaves change.. I love it. The colors. Everything.
Just the fact that you use "crikey", makes me like you.
And it was 90 freaking degrees here today! In Utah!
Ha ha ha - great pic! Okay not really, not a great pic, more like a fun pic.
Is cold as a winter here - rain, bitter chill, frost at night - high is like 5 degrees when seasonal for Sept is up to 18. This bites. We had no effing summer.
Blows....
You're looking pretty sexy in that picture!
Thank you Candice. I like to think that I can carry off pretty much any look!
Hey Brahm, thank god I am not the only one suffering on my own. How shitty is a crap summer? It means the whole year morphs into one big misery fest!!
That photo is deeply disturbing and I know I will have trouble sleeping tonight.
