The summer is not living up to my expectations

I am getting the teensiest bit annoyed with my summer so far. We've had the occasional spell of good weather, but mostly it's been rain on the weekend, followed by cloud, then glorious sun just at the point of the week where I am stuck into a piece of work and can't take a lunch break, followed by a glorious Friday evening drive home to the barbeque, whereupon the clouds descend for another two days of rain.

Which is making our mosquitoes legion. And legendary in size.

And of course no camping. Because if I wanted to go camping in the rain, I would have stayed in Ireland and bought a tent there.

Although all our vegetables are growing away like there's no problem with the clouds, my carefully planted humming-bird attracting flowers are mouldering away in pots on the deck.

No humming birds this year I guess.

My photography sessions have been non-existent this year so far, as I cannot be assed taking more pictures of the fog around the lake.

And now my laptop is starting to die.

My laptop is well over five years old of course, and in computer years that's about 120, so it is entitled to be a little cranky and slow.

But I don't want to spend money on a new laptop right now.

Because I am Fear of deh Credit Card Bill Girl.

Dear weather gods, make something nice and bright and extended happen soon, please.
