Flies in the kitchen, sand in your sandwiches, middle order collapses by the England batsmen. Blockbuster novels, crowded airports, why’s it bloody raining? Daytime children’s TV, dips in the Pells, exam results, turned out nice again. Cider drinkers in the Grange, foreign tourists with maps. L<strong>on</strong>g walks <strong>on</strong> the Downs, al fresco pub meals, numbers <strong>on</strong> spo<strong>on</strong>s, where’s my bloody order? Memories of ’76: The Isle of Thorns, l<strong>on</strong>g rides in hot cars. Tidemills, painful pebble walks to the sea. God, it’s cold. 99 flakes: I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream. Pimm’s. Cucumber sandwiches. A gaping hole in the oz<strong>on</strong>e layer: slip <strong>on</strong> a shirt, slop <strong>on</strong> the sun cream, slap <strong>on</strong> a hat. Jolly boating weather at Barcombe Mills, jump in the Ouse, d<strong>on</strong>’t swallow the water. Throw it <strong>on</strong> the barbie: burnt sausages; why’s the smoke always blow in my directi<strong>on</strong>? Check that chicken’s cooked right through. Daft hats, short skirts, l<strong>on</strong>g shorts, sunglasses after dark. Flip flops: flip, flop; flip, flop. Irritating pan-European hit records <strong>on</strong> the radio while you’re stuck <strong>on</strong> the motorway. Unaccustomed dancers in wedding marquees. The average UK temperature in Celsius in July is seventeen. Sese-se-se-seventeen. Rain stopped play. It’s July: summer’s up<strong>on</strong> us, and everything that entails.
