Mel's Blog: Season II: Fred and Ginger dancing on the ceiling...

Or is it just the constantly changing, tip-tapping rhythm of my ceiling fan that makes me think I am waking up every morning on the set of an old black and white movie?? Well folks, this is it. I can't deny that I am enjoying the slower pace of life out here in the "Burbs" of the Nation's Capital, not to mention the weather, which has been uncharacteristically balmy.. in fact exactly as an English Summer should be...

Will this be the new conspiracy theory?? Have the Americans - not content with inventing 50,457, 23 flavours of ice-cream, 'fat-free' butter and refusing to believe us when we tell them that electric kettles are really SO much better (honest !) - decided to swipe our idyllic Summers and in stead send us all the appalling humidity of their East Coast which, unable to handle the culture shock, immediately turns to monsoon rains and hail stones the moment it reaches our shores!!?? If true, this would indeed be dastardliness at its very worst! Being quite a practical type however, I have decided to make the best of the status quo, however sinister, and spend as much time out on the deck as possible, enjoying the breeze, gazing up at the blue skies and clouds above, and generally chillin', before the REAL East Coast Summer returns!
