Good day Bloggets. Gosh it’s been beautifully boiling hot
here. But during the nights have been impossible. Not too many people in the UK
have air conditioning. A, it’s expensive B, there really isn’t enough heat to
justify and C, we are all getting environmentally friendly now! so, I have been
breathing through open windows which provide no air and a fan that eventually
gives off hot air as it projects the air in the room!
It’s been after four each morning before I have managed to
sleep and that is pure exhaustion. But last night/this morning was different.
We went out with our friends. Well we drove the same amount
of time but it wasn’t until we got there, I opened the car door when I realised,
we weren’t at our lovely regular pub. Sounds I heard were loads of children. Never
we hear that at our normal lovely country pub. But I guess its school summer
holidays, so may be? Not as much traffic. Our pub is really noisy of traffic. Open
spaces only people who are blind will know what that means. The air has an open
feel rather than muffled if the building is far away. This was an open sound
and our normal pub has loads of buildings close together so getting out of the
car there, I hear the building. This place we didn’t. so, I asked, where are
we? Oh my…. well I was delighted we sat outside as it was boiling hot as I said.
I was told we were at a new pub, new to us. Oh gosh, it was not nice. Full of
men not like our other pub where they are sophisticated business normally men
and snooty couples. These guys were rough…. Their kids were out of control. Wild.
Hub and I just kept saying how we wouldn’t allow our children to be like that. Haha.
Oh, we are such kill joys. Well this person, I think lady came out and growled what
did we want to eat? Em, nothing? But our friends decided to eat there. Going by
her voice, I was put off even if I wanted something to eat. She sounded like
she had smoked from the back of her throat for the past seventy three and a
half years.
Well friends ate, they said it was nice. I had
my normal lime and lemon aid. And bag of salted nuts. They were safe, they were
in a sealed bag….
There must have been fifteen men and their small children. This
was nine at night. Children don’t have bedtimes obviously.
We decided to leave there. In the car, my friend told me
they were all soldiers as we were near the barracks. But you know, bless them,
they never once swore. I think our friends weren’t too impressed because of a
visual thing rather than audio. For me it was the children that were wild. And playing
in the car park where cars were pulling in and out.
We drove to another village. This pub sounded nice. Well the
garden was lovely. Really comfortable seats. The air by now was warm and
blowing as if we were in Spain. Just perfect. Another lime and lemon, I’m such
a party animal, and a lovely night was had, but boy, that place was really
expensive. The pub apparently was quite simple inside. It gave the audio
impression like a pub in Spain those kinds you pass by on your way home it
seemed to be open inside to the outside you could hear the voices just like you
do when passing a taverna. The distant clinking of glasses the voices that
sounded like they were coming from a tent… no cars though only the night birds.
The moon and the peace. It was lovely.
We came home and our friends ended up in our back garden. We
had a lovely night that went on to half past midnight. Hub and I enjoyed the
night but the funny thing was, we have decided to throw away our corkscrew as
Hub battled with it for the last time to open a bottle. It was really funny to
watch him. He was grumbling away. Haha. I provided the snacks, ten minutes
later, I shouted from our yard, love, our snacks are almost gone and we haven’t
drank yet? I expect the extremities that were mumbled under the Hubsters breath
weren’t very nice…
It was a lovely night though and Hub and I spoke until after
one then he said he was going to sleep outside… I told him the mice and night
time creepy crawlies would get him. He said he wasn’t bothered it was too hot. Oh,
I had a plan, I would wait until he fell a sleep and take outside my feather duster
and tickle his face ever so gently. He would poop himself…. Then I had another
thought, how the heckers would I find his face without feeling for it then
waking him up depleting the purpose of scaring him with the feather duster…. It
would be like closing the gate after the horse got out!
It was after half five this morning before I got to sleep. Far
too hot but tonight is back to normal and tomorrow rain and cooler, so we have had
our three days of summer, this is the thing we are getting extreme weather conditions.
From freezing to boiling, no in between. And the other night we had a really
bad storm of thunder and lightning and, hailstones. They were like bullets
coming from the sky. For those who have sight, apparently the sky was lit up like
a real light show. New bulbs for Gods home may be?
