Bon voyage, ann.

the heat-wave forecast for Iceland has been cancelled.>>>

It'll still be warm enough in the aisle with the fish fingers and oven chips in.

ann - yes supposedly the oldest governmental thing in the world

I was talking about Queen of England - and i think it's time Iceland got a Queen or King, don't you.

Are you taking the Chunnel Train to Iceland?

I wonder if Iceland, like England, has a state-sponsored religion?

Pal, Pal, Pal.

You've lost me.
Why should any queen including the Queen of Sheba be responsible for the weather in Iceland?

Time for a nice lie-down in a darkened room, perhaps.

Hi CW - very clever. I hadn't heard that one before. [will we have a team left by the time I get back from Iceland? - it seems that every say, there's another one gone.]

Are you taking the Chunnel Train to Iceland?>>

no. the chunnel goes under the english channel. after that we'd have to get to Denmark and then get a ferry. if we went that way, by the time we got there it would be time to come back.

we're going the conventional way - flying. Newquay to Stanstead on Ryanair, then Iceland Express to Keflavik. trying to get all our luggage below 15kgs each as required by R/A has been fun. Iceland Express allows 20kgs but that isn't much use. so i've ended up packing the cucumbers in the hand luggage. [well, having gone to all that trouble to grow them, I wasn't going to leave them at home, as I?]

I wonder if Iceland, like England, has a state-sponsored religion?>>

not so far as I'm aware, unless they've taken vikings under public ownership. I'll let you know when we get back.

bye for now, or as they say in Iceland, Bless. Ann

Did I just spy King Charles's head peeping over the parapet? ;-)

It was too hot to sleep last night. I've had about 2.5hr I reckon. 8-(

Lovely lovely rain. That's more like it.

I could be a contender for the horizontal high-jump in the Olympics.
In the early hours we had one of those events when the flash and crash come simultaneously.
Mrs. J. wondered if I really wanted my last words to be remembered as ****, ####,@@@@!!!!!!!

It's still sunny here.

I'm tired and achey and grumpy and hot.

I've had enough of summer and I want it to stop now.

It's better in Iceland.

I have a Texan cousin who dreads spring because he knows winter's not too far behind. A skinny guy who likes it hot, but he's had years to acclimate.

The bloody sun's come out again.

I can't be doing with this at all.

Sounds like it's time for that long awaited holiday in Iceland

I don't need to go to Iceland. My corner shop sells ice lollies and I don't need any frozen peas.

A little off topic perhaps...but my fave weather report of all time was one I heard in Scotland a few years back:
Sunny with periods of rains.
Sort of a metaphor for life.
