Whether the weather be fine

Last year I grew so tired of the meteorologist people forecasting "unsettled" weather.
It meant rain, or the suspicion of rain.
It did not mean good weather interspersed with fairly good weather and a nice cool breeze.
Not that kind of unsettled.
It meant stay-at-home-you'll-probably-get-wet weather. And if you do go out take your brolly and waterproof trousers. And make sure your wellies are in the car.

This weekend, starting tomorrow, the weather people are pushing the boat out.
Not only are they saying it ain't gonna rain, they're suggesting we're in for a heatwave.
That will last a good way into next week.
I am elated.
The tearooms LOVE sunshine.
The parasols will be used as parasols instead of as umbrellas.
People will come in to order and will comment that it's way too hot.
I shall need my factor 30 just to deliver the trays outside.
We won't sell any hot chocolate.*

Am feeling good about it.
Mainly because for once I have actually ordered enough ice cream and fruit ice lollies.
And the boxes of local apple juice are being delivered tomorrow.


*this is not necessarily a good thing.
