HOT SPELL

The weather this year has been very disappointing, but today the sun is shining weakly so the Bees have taken their two boys, Johnson and Johnson, out for a picnic in the country before the rain returns. 

The lads — being adopted ladybirds — aren't really interested in pollen or nectar, but the Bees are insisting on bringing them up as bees. 

I can't see this ending well but, despite being adopted myself, I'm not an expert in these matters. I just predict that in a few years time the Johnson Brothers will be writing to Nicky Campbell at 'Long Lost Family' trying to locate their Birth Parents...

Anyway, Wilson has put up a Weather Forecast Chart showing sunny weather ahead — he told me he expects it will make people feel happier if they think sunshine is around the corner, and it might encourage the Jet Stream to sort itself out and bring us brief period of summery weather for our holiday before winter sets in. 

I'm not certain this is how weather works, but what do I know?
