The so called 'Summer'

So the longest day of the year has passed 3 days ago signifying the start of summer. Frankly this summer's been a bit insipid after the short warm blasts in April. Weather forecast this evening is rain and wind again so not so good for frisbeeing. But we're still going anyway.

Next week is a striking week - UKBA immigration striking (20th July), school teachers striking over pension pay, the tubes were meant to strike but they're off now. A year ago, all the private sector employees got laid off due to cost cutting. But now that the public sector is doing the same, the public sector employees decide not to go to work.
