No, definitely not our average Saturday.Firstly, by 9am I could sit out in the garden with my coffee and imagine I was on the hotel balcony in Florida. Yes it was hot. VERY hot for Northumberland, like "bugger me,
it's hot" kind of hot.
Secondly, I had to dig out the bottle of P20 I had stashed away in the cupboard to stop me and the rest of the family ending up like lobsters by the end of the day. If you've never used it, it's brilliant. Apply it once a day before you go out and that's it. AND it works!
Thirdly, Little Dude had his first look inside an old historic jet. Sorry can't remember what it was but it was part of the annual 'Battery Day' held on Blyth seafront where people get dressed up, and act like there's a war on. Did get a bit of a blast from the past looking at all the dials, guages and levers - not unsimilar to what I used to see in Naval aircraft.
Fourthly, although Blyth has more than it's fair share of strange people, they don't usually look like these two. Normally it's a combination of Kappa tracksuits, Supa-Dry coats and several sizes too small micro skirts.
Fifthly, You have to watch out for who is standing behind you in the ice cream queue. Sixthly, despite the heat, two big hairy dogs, and a couple of beers on the patio, our resident blackbird is still sitting on the nest that she chose to build in possibly the most unsafe place in the garden.
It's now 8.30pm and still Florida hot outside.
Like I said - not the usual Saturday
I know what you mean by hot. It's hotter than hot here and it's not even summer yet.Hope the blackbird realizes that she may need to relocate before too long.
ReplyDeleteThose of us who know ( and of course love) Blyth appreciate that comparisons of the weather there and in Florida are rare. When that North wind blows...........but great when it comes eh?And I was kinks about the comment about there be plenty of strange people in Blyth- must bring this to the attention of the teen's god parents who live on South Beach.Heh heh
