Yes that is a word; I know because I made it up. So, I have had my hair cut at the local salon and it was cheaper than my mobile hairdresser. £6! Unheard of in this day and age. I like it.

It was rsining when I went yesterday, and when I got up this morning it was absolutely pouring. I have put the heating on. Really, I don't know why I'm surprised: June is always like this these days.

Here is a famous painting by Sir Frederic Leighton callled Flaming June which shows no similarity to the weather today.

And here is the view from my window where the people over the road have put out the flags for England's World Cup bid.



At least it stopped raining.

The guy on the main road has a bigger flag, but there is a lamp post in the way and I'm not going out in this chill.

I got a cheque for £10 yesterday from Nescafe. They had a product recall on the coffee I drink and are refunding customers. I had 2 jars which cost £2.85 each from Asda so I made a profit and I still drank the coffee. There were shattering problems with the jars apparently. Well I'm pleased because I could not put the lids on the improved jar shape properly so I used to tip it in the old jar shape one I had anyway. They are redesigning the jars, so I win all round. Is my life small or what?

I don't see any flags in that picture, I must be blind!

When do you find out if you will win the bid? World Cup 2014 is here in Brazil, and I'm so excited.

The world Cup starts in 2 days, isn't that exciting?

Oh it will be ages! People have just put flags up because the World Cup starts in South Africa on Friday and people are showing support with the Cross of St George. It is there honest, hanging from the house window on the right.

Flaming June is beautiful. It is about what June is like here.

It's a hoot. People are painting pubs and houses and loads have little flags on their cars. #Eng-er-land! (and Greece)
