    You picked the right week to be off since you enjoy the sunshine. I feel for the schools around here which didn’t break up until yesterday - and it’s forecast rain most of next week.

    Rain here today boo :( Would've been gutted if I'd been at work all week and missed the hot weather.

    Back to work Monday :( I love my job though mustn't moan and I need the money. Got a long weekend off August Bank Holiday then Lanzarote in September.

    Mr SA has finally got his medical exemption card through valid for 5 years :j

    Feel a bit flat today considering it's Saturday, must be the weather. On the plus side I haven't bought any more books today :)

    Mr SA has just started up on the fishing rod pester again, thought he'd forgotten about it :( It's for holiday as there's nowhere to fish round here without transport apart from our pond :) He seems to be under the impression that he will fish from the beach while I potter round the shops. Nice idea in theory but in practice ..... :eek:
