Weather...

I'm sitting here looking at the rain streaming down the street....I wouldn't exactly call this "light rain" as the paper predicted today!  Glad I took advantage of the couple of hours of sun yesterday to go for a swim  at the Second Beach Pool.  Pretty much had the pool to myself and there was a lovely smell of the ocean.   Then,  walking home along the seawall I saw they have delivered the English Bay water slide...can real summer be far away?

Ah well,  Britain is really getting hammered at the moment.
