Of course by the time you get round to reading this, there will be even less time, so in the interests of accuracy, if you click on the picture you'll get an up-to-the-second reading.
If you're wondering why I'm indulging in this madness, it's because this morning I was attempting to do some strategic forward planning for the period Sept-Dec, which, of course, includes THAT word.
Each year, we take over 50% of our annual income in the pre-THAT word trading period, so waiting till October before even thinking about it would be financial suicide. If anything, I'm a tad tardy this year.
At least I'm not doing 'THAT word' planning in sub-tropical temperatures with not a cloud in the sky. Our weather of late has had more in common with November than July. Last night we experienced what can only be described as a monsoon. I don't think I've ever seen or heard such heavy rain..... it was literally coming down in sheets. Within a few minutes all of our gutters were inundated, causing a 'wall of water' effect all round the patio.
So, as I've more or less given up on our summer, embracing the festive period seems a perfectly reasonable strategy.

Hearing about you "summer"...why not plan the season..nothing wrong with that!! best greetings from very very very hot Athens ( well..i suppose the weather is never right anywhere!!!)
Well..it's Summer here too for the while...and I'm hoping it will stay like this as I'm off to sunny Bucks for two weeks house sitting.
BUT you are right..the C word will be with us before we can blink.
When I return I shall be planning my craft fairs...and redoing my Christmas table... it'll probably be 90 degrees. Ho Ho HO.
