I wore shorts and a teeshirt in the garden whilst potting and planting today (peas, broad beans, runner beans, tomato plants).
I also have a truly amazing case of sunburn.
Oh, and we had a barbecue.

I somehow missed the "quarterly thread of the yellow alien disc people" over the winter, so I'm bookmarking!
Hope all the glass bits in the air disperse themselves without damage to anyone.

Well, see, the scenario that I like best is the one that says if the volcanoes go nuts then there might not *be* a summer here. Apparently around 1990 some volcano blew its top in Washington State, and it meant that there was no summer in Vermont that year. That sounds like my kind of summer. |

You might be thinking of the Mount St. Helens volcanic event in 1980, but if I remember accurately, it didn't cause anything like the disruption of the current volcanic activity in Iceland. Now, the summer of 1816 ("the year there was no summer"), that was a real calamity. |

I've always thought it's sort of fun to wonder if that could/should be translated "lewdly" as well as the more usual "loudly"... probably an intentional pun, if so. |
