It looks like the weather is following the same pattern as last year, May was great, June started well and now it is rubbish. Not warm at all, wind, cloud and rain seem to have set in and there is little sign of a change in sight. My new rain gauge tells me that there were 4mm of rain yesterday.
We spent the weekend doing the usual domestic stuff, I cut the hedge in the drive, went to the tip a couple of times and built some Ikea furniture so that we could sort out a bedroom for "little brother".
On Sunday morning we went to the forest to meet some of J's friends for a bit of a picnic. There was a fire burning by the time we arrive and thankfully there were some shelters for us to hide from the rain in. We had some Danish speciality which involves wrapping bread dough around a stick and burning it over the fire. I think the idea is to enjoy a double whammy of burned outside crust with ash in it at the same time as more or less raw dough in the middle. Knowing what a pain it is to make the dough, I can't understand why we couldn't have bought bread and made toast or something like it...
This is not ours, but it looked a lot like this at first...
Tomorrow morning I am off to Suben in Austria for 2 days and we are all hoping that there will not be any changes in the number of family members whilst we are away!
August in Iowa should be pretty warm with maybe few showers at times.

It rained here as well, a wellyful. The optimists who started their cricket matches were forced to abandon them, and all trains on the east coast main line were cancelled due to high winds.
ReplyDeleteThe bread stick/carbon wand may have been the turning point in persuading the Danes to build houses, with ovens.aj
Wimbledon starts today.The joy of the big t.v.Can you believe as kids we watched it on a 9inch B&W tv. You could hardly see the ball.
It did not rain in Bournemouth!
ReplyDeleteT-shirt weather all weekend, although the wind was fun on Sunday. Oscar was doing the "Titanic" bit in his pushchair, shouting with delight on the prom. I didn't let him walk in case he blew away!

ReplyDeleteShall I bring some soda farls so you can get your own back?
