11pm and the sun ain't down!

Sunday and Monday have been absolutely spectacular. The kind of days that you hope to get in a city that doesn't get sun all year round (which most of you will relate to very closely), where on those sunny days people come out of the woodwork, everyone has a smile on their face, and all seems right with the world.

Today was a work day (seems like in a city like London they should make a day like this a bank holiday. All the bank holiday's could be floating holiday's and government could get together on a Sunday night and declare - tomorrow is a day off, it's going to be too nice to work so we won't even pretend. Enjoy. Anyway). What inspired me to throw up a post though was that as I was walking Midnight at the usual time (11pm, post whichever CSI re-run is on that night, very exciting) it was still bright on the horizon. Pretty cool. Also, I was wearing shorts, t-shirt, and flip flops and perfectly comfortable, which is also quite nice.

Sunday was pretty great too. Met some friends in Regents Park for an impromptu picnic since it was so nice. Sat on a blanket in the sun for a few hours, had a bottle of wine, and enjoyed good company and good weather.

By wednesday it's back to rain, so while summer is here we've got to take full advantage, and just wanted to share it with all y'all.

Hmm...it's 47 degrees here, wind is blowing 25 mph and we are getting snow in the Pass. Your weather just doesn't seem fair. A picnic in the park sounds delightful!
Tell Katherine and Middy I say Howdy and Bark, respectively. :)

Miss y'all!
