The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain

… but the rain in Cheltenham falls mainly on my head, when I have no jacket and am wearing a short summer skirt!

It’s something called Murphy’s Law. If you carry an umbrella around with you all day it doesn’t rain, and if you don’t… well it’s sure to! Today it was The Boy’s end of term speeches and BBQ – the BBQ happened indoors (so did the speeches, but that was to be expected)! It was also the day my work was refurbishing its kitchen and we were due to have a BBQ – the BBQ happened indoors! Last week the sun was shining brightly at lunchtime so I decided to go for a walk in Pittville Park – guess what? Yup, the walk happened indoors! The heavens opened as I stepped out of the revolving door with neither jacket nor umbrella!

I have recently learned that whilst for Eliza Doolittle, the ‘Mayfair Lady’, in ” ‘ertford, ‘ereford and ‘ampshire, ‘urricanes ‘ardly ever ‘appen” and “the reighn in Speighn steighs meighnly in the pleighn” the silver spoon in one’s mouth encourages one to talk about “it waining outside, I shan’t leave the hise”. It would seem that much as I would prefer to be my own person I give a lot away with the way I pronounce things! Funny though, I don’t talk about the weather much (not English enough?). Research or re-search, says it all though apparently!

Posh Totty, that’s what my Partner in Crime says – What’s a girl to do?
