Summer and Sandbanks

Let it never be said that I am opposed to change, I went to Sandbanks today for breakfast. Sunday’s are always at Merryspoons, but I willingly went along with the general consensus to have breakfast at Sandbanks. Kate Danelle had the customary plain scone with jam and we had the cafe favourite, full English. Does the full English breakfast have beans with it. There are those that are saying this is a truckers breakfast. With beans I mean. Please enlighten me on this very vexing dilemma.

Talking of a dilemma, Susan has been in Iceland for a week and found the climate somewhat like we have here. Surely this can not be right, they are so close to the Arctic it seems strange. Well as strange as the sun does not really go down at this time of the year.

23:33 Iceland Time

For those in Australia and South Africa, the Arctic is a huge expense of ice, very cold and in the Arctic summer the sun does not set. Yep, she was there, in Iceland not the Arctic. As opposed to the Antarctic, that is were you guys are. Keep up this could get confusing.

Today was a balmy day, overcast but quite warm. That is the weather forecast for this Sunday in June.

We, that is Susan and I, yes the same Susan who has just come back from the Arctic, went to a field of Poppies in Wimborne. To be fair, it was more toward the other side of Badbury Rings than Wimborne. Is it Banbury or Badbury? Never quite sure and there are those that have commented, quite harshly I would say, about my spelling and grammar. Silly twisted people I dare to say but then so is Donald Trump and look where that got him. 

Next week sees the days shorten by a few minutes every day until we have 8 hours of day light and 16 hours of darkness, lovely. Sensible people can sleep, knowing that horrible sun will not wake you at 5:35am and it will set at 4:00pm. Bliss. Now that is good grammar.

Latest news report is that the Middle Smiths with Michael and Kate, of Facebook fame under her screen name of Kate Danelle, were seen in the vicinity of Hengistbury Head today, the coast guard was called out, but this proved to be a false alarm.

Mika has just had her Prom. Well not really a Prom, that is after you have passed your A levels. This was a GCSE prom, sort of a beginners course for what could be, once you old enough to have a proper Prom. Gary did say she phoned after about an hour saying she was bored. Well real life can be boring, such a sad lesson for someone in the early stages of being in the prime of their lives. My experience is that happens around 32, sorry Mika but you do have a way to go, just remember we still love you. What are you going to do for the next 10 weeks? The world is your oyster, a blank canvas and you can paint the picture. 

Let me end on some observation, Susan is exhausted and Jenson is asleep, the combination of burning the candle at both ends in Iceland and running through the poppies at Badbury/Banbury rings.
