Today is the start of my summer holidays. As usual I'm not going anywhere, but Helena is coming to stay, this year for two weeks. It's just as well that I didn't check the weather forecast before organising this, as I learned from the Cypriot news the other day that forecasters had been predicting a hot and sunny August in Britain, but that they'd now revised this slightly to say "rain and storms". I'd have been somewhat annoyed if I'd known earlier.
Yesterday was wet and miserable with torrential rain at times, so maybe the forecasters have got it right in the end. Although today has been dry and bright, so maybe not.
As long as we get a few reasonable days out, I won't complain. We've also got the last 17 Columbo episodes to watch, which should keep us going on the rainy days. I've also stocked up on reading material, with two parcels of books arriving from Athens yesterday.
Needless to say, I'll keep you informed of developments with regular holiday updates.

FIRST!!!!
no one ever wants to watch Columbo with me :(
guess what our weather is??? hot and dry with temperatures reaching into the triple digits
from now until October
There nothing like watching Columbo to spend a vacation, I'm taking the first week of September off you think I could borrow me some Columbo Dvd's?
Jean Knee:
I'd feel sorry for you if it weren't for your weather...
Dan:
You'd be welcome to borrow some, but DVDs sold here don't work on American TV systems...
our weather is insanely hot, I wasn't bragging even though I usually do
You're welcome to pop round one afternoon and watch some Columbo in our somewhat cooler climate. I wonder what the shortest round trip would be from Texas...
Actually, I really shouldn't complain. It didn't rain all day - though it is wet now.
2 WEEKS?? Wow. I don't think I've taken 2 weeks in a row in years. BUT I'M NOT JEALOUS!
Bee:
I don't think I've had two weeks off before, either. I hope I'll be able to bring myself to go back into work again afterwards ;-)
