Rain, rain go away

Not feeling too chipper today. I've caught my daughters cold, something I've managed to dodge quite well recently, but alas, my time has come. It's raining again! I am soooo looking forward to the hot summers days and warm evenings on the terrace coming back, I guess we all are. Talking of coming back, what a relief to hear that the young 15 year old girl, who ran off with the 49 year old man she met via the internet, is on her way home! It' a difficult thing being a parent these days, and I bet hers are ecstatic. The internet is a wonderful thing, but it can be hard trying to warn children of the dangers as well, as us grown-ups all know. Yippee, just got an enquiry for our gite, which we rent out during the summer. Business is a little slow this year due to the economy crisis, but it looks as if it will start to pick up now. It's a lovely gite which we renovated ourselves, situated in a great part of France, so if anyone out there is interested I'll send the web site!!!! A little poem that my son gave to me on a piece of paper as big as a postage stamp, (he writes very small), copied out of a "Horrid Henry" book...
"Dear old wrinkely mum,
don't be glum,
'cause you've got a fat tum,
and an even bigger bum,
ho ho ho hum,
love from your son!" That made me giggle...hee,hee. Until next time...
