[english weather]

Today was all planned. Steve and I were going to take his niece and nephew out for the day. It would give their folks a bit of a break and give the kids a fun (but educational of course!) time. Sadly, it rained...and rained some more. I was really looking forward to the treasure hunt along the canal in Leicester. I've got each treasure list printed out with loads of colourful pictures. They have to do fun things like touch moss, pretend they're squirrels and find squirrel food, watch an ant, find their reflection, and take photos of each other in silly poses...it would have kept us entertained anyway. Of course they would each get a prize, a lovely pair of socks I brought back from my last trip to Canada...who wouldn't like socks with Now I'll have to wait for another sunnier weekend. That meant that today I sat in front of the computer...wishing the rain away while typing furiously....well, pretending to type furiously! Now the sun is teasing me with a few beams at 7:01 pm. Ty-pi-cal....
