The weather

As an English bench, I can't help but mention the weather once in a while. Especially right now. I mean, it is June, right? So why am I having more showers than my humans? All that moisture really isn't good for my planks. The only good thing about it is that the bird poo (free radicals and all that...) gets washed off me. But that's not worth much, when I am lonely all the time. My humans are not going to sit and talk to me in bad weather like that. :(

The frogs are quite happy, and so are the thirsty plants. Mushrooms are starting to grow in the lawn. I just hope I won't have any fungus growing on me any time soon. I really don't like mould, evil stuff. Eats itself into wood and makes it soft and weak. Hard to believe that some humans actually eat mould. It grows on horrible stuff called "cheese", on the outside of salami and it gets grown in huge tanks, harvested and then squeezed into different shapes and flavoured, so that it looks and tastes like meat. How odd is that? My FH is allergic to some mould and can't eat the fake stuff. But she prefers real meat anyway. I wonder how many people are allergic to meat? My FH is allergic to quite a lot of things. Me, I am only allergic to one thing: squirrels!! Also known as tree rats.

Anyway, back to the weather. On the news they said that the Queen's birthday parade is in June, because the weather is better than in April, when her real birthday is. Hmmmm, I don't think so. Not during the few years that I can remember. Summer happens in April and May, and then the rainy season begins. I wish I could go on holiday during the rainy season. Somewhere sunny and warm , that would feel good on my planks. But only if my humans came along, otherwise I'd be scared and lonely.
