Re: weather??
Something else we used to be covered in in summertime as well was stickybobs. Does anybody remember those?
We would play in the fields, and it was a seed that curled up into a little ball and would stick to anything, little spikey things they were and impossible to get off, we used to throw them at each other and if one landed in your hair you had to wait till you got home so your mum could comb it out! You dont see them anymore, unless its coz im a grown up now and dont play out lol

Re: weather??
The Eccles Cake shop, the original one, is opposite the Norman Church on Church Street, its a lovely little church. There is a floral graden in remembrance of Diana just outside it now. The eccles cake shop is a deli. The name Eccles is derived from Eclesiastic, so when you have an eccles cake, you better say a prayer! lol

Re: weather??
After a week of stormy unsettled weather, we a settling in for a spell of warm (25c) clear, sunny days, with cool clear nights. Great late summer weather, and a bonus for local farmers who will soon have to get the harvest in. And great weather for the annual Limestone City Blues Festival with Watermelon Slim, and the C.O.R.K. regatta .... This part of Lake Ontario offers some of the finest sailing conditions in the world.
Damn; I love where I live

Re: weather??
You can all hate me for this; but the weather here is great ... beautiful, clear, sunny days, cooling off nicely at night. And it looks like this will hold for a few days ... the only nasty thing in the near future is that US tropical storm ... even this far north we feel some of the effects.

If the days are nice, the cool nites don't bother me ... last nite was cool and clear, the stars were out in force and the moon was bright. I sat out on my deck, with a bottle of wine, and my telescope, plugged in my walkman, and had a great old time. Damnit, I love where I live
