My daughter has finished her A-levels today, so a few of her friends are going to join the missus and I drinking champagne (well before I switch to beer!) in the garden. Until a later time than I thought!

Double celebration!

Has everyone got their Xmas lists ready? :innocent:

It's raining here at the moment so it feels later than it is!

But my source warned me it would be like this today...

It has been a very loooong day, due to my tiredness of a hectic week, but hey hey...

Merry Summer Soltstice to the northern hemisphere! :notworthy:

;D

I feel like I should be dancing out in the woods around a bonfire, or something. Too bad I'd get arrested for that here in Chicago...not that there *are* any woods here in the city, but you know what I mean! :lol:

As Mr Gallagher put it so eloquently ;

You could wait for a lifetime

To spend your days in the sunshine

You might as well do the white line

Cos when it comes on top . . .



You gotta make it happen!


For once the sun is out, the flat roof isn't leaking and I've finalised my trip to Vegas/ San Francisco for October (I May take in watching some bods chucking themselves off the Golden gate bridge)


Suicide is Painless ..unless you do it wrong that is then you may smart for a bit.

Umm, Sinnie: That may make emigration easier, if you like? ;D

And for thr the rest: I think: Treflig Midsommar sounds much nicer..
somehow. "soltstice".. bluergh.. sounds like some fish. I don´t like fish. :|
