Wednesday to Saturday.
It will soon be the longest day, thereafter,the nights will begin to “draw in”. I have never really understood why July and August are usually the best months of the summer, although this year, we have been blessed with weeks of dry, bright, and at times, even in Buxton, warm weather.
It looks as if the coronavirus situation is less serious right now, with far fewer reported cases and deaths than a couple of months ago. But, there shouldn’t be any fatalities due to covid-19.
The longed for thunderstorm occurred on Monday evening after a fine but humid day. It wasn’t particularly spectacular and Tuesday returned to being quite pleasant again. Another thunderstorm ended the day. But, as the week progressed, the rain fell, at times, like stair-rods, and I needed to switch on the heating, and once again, wear a vest! I had no problem with this more normal weather, I made reasonable progress sorting out and tidying up my belongings at home.
Saturday dawned bright and sunny. No need for central heating today. I opened my front door early this afternoon to find the gardeners manicuring the front rockery. The back lawn now looks as if croquet could be played there. I am looking forward to some lazy hours outside beneath a hot sun.
Tomorrow is indeed Midsummer’s Day, and there’s supposed to be some kind of solar eclipse. From what I understand, it won’t occur in the U.K., not even partially. In any case, it’s taking place at a time that doesn’t exist on my clock!
I have e-mailed Customer Services at WordPress for advice concerning the inclusion of pictures in my blog. They replied immediately “because of Coronavirus, there may be some delay replying to your question…” It’s the same with my holiday insurance company, except that they have not acknowledged correspondence from me sent in April and at the end of May. I’m unimpressed!
Stay safe, and thanks for reading, David. 22.24 hrs, Saturday 20th June 2020.
