Autumn?

The talk in our street has been all about dust. The big building site behind us, with its comings and goings of lorries and tracked vehicles, and the breeze, has left all the cars permanently pale brown, and we all squint as we walk to stop the dust getting in our eyes.

Suddenly this problem is gone. A day of heavy rain has wrinsed all the cars and laid all the dust. Unfortunately, heavy stuff tonight put paid to our walking plans, so we've all been confined to quarters. Dad, who did manage to get out to 2CV club tells of deep standing water in the lanes around Howletts (Zoo Park) threatening to strand the cars. The Perseids are no doubt doing their stuff, but with 8/8 cloud, they're on their own.

Have a good 'un
