Mrs Sweepy Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 Those lovely barmy livings spent outside with a good bookThe bottle of red .And the birds singing their last song of the day. I remember evenings were i used to bath and pack the kids to bed. Then grub a cardi a bottle,then go outside And read or doze whichever can first. till about midnight. The weekends used to be the same. But more fun as the garden was full of kids +mums and dads. Enjoying the lovely summer evenings. But now like last year. My garden has been empty. And i look outside now at nine pm and its dark. This cant be right. . It really feels like as each year passes the nights pull in faster.(well to me anywhy ) All last week as i took mits for a walk though the park its was empty. No kids no couples and no tourists. Which for 7.30pm on the summer evening . Dont quite seem right to me. Is it just me or do anyone else think that it seems like are summer days are getting shorter. xxxxsuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Sweepy Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 i remember getting sunburn every easter when i was a kid Last year on the one day we had sun i got sunburnt on my chest. Unfortunatly i had a top on that covered my boobs. So guess who had to spend the rest of the summer walking around with white boobs. At least it meant that sweepy didnt need to leave the light on for fun time. As he could see the whiteness of then in the dark. My god he was like one of those heat seeking missle . But without the heat. :blink: xxxxsuzy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lurcherboy Posted August 13, 2008 Report Share Posted August 13, 2008 Not sure if they are getting worse like everyone says But they definietely get shorter the older you get. It must be hell for NTTF and Cranfield and I imagine their summer must seem like 15 minutes or so LB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunkield Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 We took the dog out last night in the driving rain and it was cold, proper cold. I was trudging along thinking wouldn't it be nice to get home and sit in front of the open fire - then I remembered it is still August Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
