Ra ra ra. It’s July: summer’s upon
us, and everything that entails.
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. Long walks on the
Downs, al fresco pub meals,
numbers on spoons, where’s my
bloody order? Memories of ’76:
The Isle of Thorns, long 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
ozone layer: slip on a shirt, slop
on the sun cream, slap on a hat.
Jolly boating weather at Barcombe
Mills, jump in the Ouse,
don’t swallow the water. Throw
it on the barbie: burnt sausages;
why’s the smoke always blow in
my direction? Check that chicken’s
cooked right through. Daft
hats, short skirts, long shorts,
sunglasses after dark. Flip flops:
flip, flop; flip, flop. Irritating
pan-European hit records on
the radio while you’re stuck on
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 upon us,
and everything that entails.
Enjoy the month.
