Where has summer gone?

After a nice, warm welcome to July, the weather has returned to more typical English fare.  The next three days are predicted to be 65 and rainy.  I'm not complaining, really, I actually like it.  It just makes it hard to believe that its really July, between the weather and still being in school.

We had a nice 4th of July here.  Of course it was a work/school day, but we had a little bbq for dinner that night.  The kids went to bed at the usual time.  Much later, we heard the sound of fireworks being set of nearby.  I looked out the window and didn't see them, but I very much heard them!  I do know there are quite a few Americans living in this town.

Of course we've heard that gas prices have gotten quite high in the States.  The prices here are just a bit higher - $10/gallon for regular, and $11.75/gallon for diesel.  When we get our keeper cars, they will both be diesel.  Slightly more expensive for the petrol, but better mileage.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend!
