The first "proper" weekend of summer has come and gone. What a truly glorious pair of days. I was unfortunately stuck indoors on the Saturday morning due to waiting for a package to arrive. (The courier company has decided to put a positive spin on their crap delivery times (anytime between 8am and 6pm) by claiming that it is for "security reasons". What a load of [bleeeeep].) Thankfully it turned up at about 11am so I could at least enjoy some of the afternoon.
I spent the majority of the time lolling in the sunshine reading whilst a large fan turgidly moved the warm air around in circles. At least I could open the windows wide enough for a cool(ish) summer breeze to blow out the stale winter air. What a shock to learn this morning that people in parts of Yorkshire were standing on their roofs whilst their homes were washed away.
I will finish off with a rather staggering fact I discovered yesterday. The Sahara desert has a greater total area (3.25 million square miles) than the 25 largest islands in the world put together. It's almost inconceivable.
