I wear shorts usually all the time from May to October (since retiring)........but not this year......an excellent week in March,one in May.....and thats your lot.......today it is raining.raining raining and damn chilly in doors.......I can't remember ever considering putting the heating on in flaming June before.....at least I don't need to worry about the hose ban.........in fact ever since it came in to effect it's done nothing else but RAIN.
