Those poor countries, and poor people. I am glad you are safe and well, and the Hennie H is ready for Summer faring. I have been unable to access my reading list for days, and fortunately I have your blog on my side bar and can still access my favourites.

We are having a nice-ish day today, but it will rain again tomorrow. The weather is indeed upside down and very strange. At least we haven't had floods here and for that I am hugely thankful.

Here in the UK London and the South have been deluged (not as badly as Germany but unusually so for the area) but here in Leicester we have had wall-to-wall sunshine and heat. This morning was the first rainfall in many weeks. Strange weather and even stranger year.

There were quite a few deaths as well, in spite of efforts to secure people's lives. Here in Bangalore, it's been raining but not so heavily.<br />I too haven't been getting the time to put up a post. <br />I keep a diary. But I forget to write, and suddenly I remember that I have to write!<br />In a way, it's good that there is so much keeping us occupied.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19572536.post-74994916514722672682021-07-26T12:18:43.407+02:002021-07-26T12:18:43.407+02:00Ah, thank you, Beth!
