It's pub quiz night and I have been in shorts and T shirt all day. Now do I venture out like that and get soaked? Is a puzzlement. I managed to get away with it at PARKs. In fact, I even caught a bit of sun as I played football in the drive. The rain only came on Tuesday evening. We were sat watching the box when the fireworks started. The thunder and lightning were quite spectacular from PARKs window. They weren't as spectacular when we were trying to sleep at 3 in the morning.
Our new jalopy performed very well on the run across to Leeds and back. Any lingering worries about motorway performance were blown away. I drove there and concentrated on maintaining a steady average to see how the fuel went. Barbara drove back and had to be restrained a couple of times when she was dragged along behind some speed merchant. I went to top up the tank today and reckon we averaged 45mpg which isn't bad over three days. We'll see how we go this weekend.
We are going up to Seahouses for a couple of days with the intention of going out to the Farne Islands. As usual, the weather is unsettled when we get the bags out. I reckon that we ought to be paid to take our holidays abroad by the British tourist industry. Whenever we plan something the weather takes a nosedive. Have we packed the right sort of clothes. Only time will tell.
