What happened to summer?

It is June I just looked at the calendar,  but the weather appears to have not noticed.   Today started with lovely blue sky and sunshine, by lunchtime the clouds had rolled in, temperature dropped, and by 5pm it was raining...  

It was also raining at Wimbledon!    Thank goodness for the roof,   so Murray is at last winning his match,  took him a while to get going tho.  Not sure he likes having to wait to start his matches to fit in with TV schedule. 

Well I did manage another page for my book.   I did try yesterday but just wasn't happy with what I produced,  not entirely happy with this page,  just the lettering, think it needs to be changed.  The rest works,  but it might need a bit of edging.  I did pop up to the Range hoping to find some nice stuff... well I found some nice card stock,  and the tweet stamps, plus a few BOGOFs (buy one get one free),  and that was it,  they are definitely winding down the serious card craft stuff.  There weren't many stamps,  the tweet/bird stamps where less than half price.  Their fault that they're not selling stuff as they have mucked round with the craft stuff far too much.    Then had disappointing time at a certain well know supermarket, went to a different branch and the choice of ready meals was absymal,   this is tennis time so one needs to  have instant food,   the choice was rubbish,  as was layout of veg/fruit section - I do wish they'd stop faffing with it,  you go to where the mushrooms were and find yourself with a handful of leeks.

 Anyway came away disappointed from The Range,  just nothing there.   New craft shop has realised it needs more space in the garden centre it's based in, so I hope they do expand it.  They're having a review soon, very sensible,  it is very popular,  but it is getting a bit samey.   Any wonder why CnC does so well?   But not all of us want the huge kits,  and the hard sell does start to grate...  look if we want to buy we will, if we don't no amount of plugging is going to make us buy stuff we don't want or like! 

Murray about to serve for match...  about time!   Have a good weekend.
