Dear OH

As Shakespeare might have said:

"Now is the summer of our discontent made glorious early autumn by this thread of yours."

Second sunny day in a row :)

But not to last, according to the forecast :(

Hello OH, funny how time fast forwards the older we get, blink and the week has gone. :lol:

OH

If you find where they are let me know as I seem to have lost rather a lot :(

And if you find the Welsh sun that's disappeared as well I'd love to get it back :(

I reckon its a relativity thing.

As an eight year old the time till you're nine stretches out before you as 1/8th of your life, the first three years of which you can't remember much of. Kids year or two older are bigger., know more and get to do things you're not allowed to.

As a fortynine year old a year is 1/50th of your life and the next birthday is rushing towards you like a speeding train. People a few years older than you, what's a year or two? The years are going like months and the months like days.

I'm sure I paid the gas bill yesterday, oh that was last months one.

Hi Billy how's sixth form?

Hi OH,

With regards to days, all you need worry about is whether it is an allotment day, or a holiday.
Any other sort of day doesn't matter :D
Cheers PJ.

I'm just off down the greenhouse. I won't be long...........
