Rain, rain and more rain.
OK - sofas delivered on Tuesday. The nice delivery guys put them in the correct rooms for me - upside down and backwards but in the right rooms. Took the 'easy assemble' sofas out of their packaging and two trips to Ikea and lots of help from Ferdinand later, we have places to sit - even a place for guests to sleep. I will not go off on Ikea again but I definitely need a break before going back. Although, there was a really cute chair that would look so good in the living room and those plant stands would make great phone tables......
The flat is beginning to shape up - as I said, we now have places to sit and a phone and broadband and cable. It feels so much better to be attached to the outside world. Now I can watch American Chopper until my heart is content!
Last night we went to Kew Gardens to see Jools Holland. A bit of pate, some cheese, free wine, free chocolate, good music and fireworks - not a bad way to spend a Tuesday evening. Especially when your flatmate organises free tickets. Go Sal! Luckily, Mother Nature held off until this morning with the rain so it was more pleasant than Hootie.
Rant 2 - What is up with Mother Nature this 'summer'? It may not be an issue for the likes of Dell, Caz, Scotty and Nina in South Africa and Australia probably enjoying the warm, sunny 'winters' as usual. But for us poor people in the UK and Eastern Canada it is not nice. What have we done to deserve this? Why is she picking on us? PEI has a great waste watch program, there are a couple of places with the same thing in the UK, Sal and I have moved back to an area with curbside recycling. We are trying to do our part. Is it a hint? Maybe, it is me?

Ok, as I don't have a login to your blog I'll pretend to be anonymous!
I have spent the morning doing a Cash Flow and feel suitably energised to post a little comment on your site!
The wonderful English weather really is being terribly English. It soaks you to the skin on the way to work and by way of an apology, it stops raining just as you step inside the doors of the office. Too little too late I say! I think we'll end up getting an 'Indian Summer' like those we've seen for the last few years (which I'm sure is more common here than in India!)
Anyway just thought I'd be nice and make a comment for you, coz it's really nice when people do (hint hint!)
Later

Well we actually had two nice days in a row here in Saint John, but back to reality today - overcast, rain expected. I think the joke goes like this:
What follows two rainy, cold days in Saint John? (or substitute PEI, London, wherever...)
MONDAY
