Our roses are looking so pretty.
Thanks to everybody who took part in the Caption posting of yesterday. It was so nice to log on and have a smile! It is a good job I did not set it as a competition because I simply could not have chosen. Thanks again to everyone who made the effort to join in this little bit of fun.
Well, looks like summer is finally here but I cannot say I am enjoying it so far. I cannot stand the humidity that comes with the heat. I already have a headache. When the weather gets really hot I cannot even go into the garden, have to stay inside with the fans running. Strange, years ago I loved the heat, could take any amount of it, but not any more. We did get a bit of rain but not enough to make any difference really.
The building work is progressing well at Becky and Deans apart from the fact that the pavement collapsed due to the combination of a water leak from the next door property and the builder's heavy lorries going across it. Well, that is not down to them. The builders, the council and the water company have to sort it out between them.
Going to leave you today with a few amusing quotes seen in today's newspaper
"I don't like children, but I like to make them" ~ Groucho Marx
"Why does a man want a child? Is it to perpetuate the species? Is the child a pet substitute? Is it to prove he has had sex at least once?"~ Jeremy Hardy
"Warren Beatty only had children so he could meet some babysitters" ~ David Letterman
"All babies are supposed to look like me - at both ends" ~ Winston Churchill.
"Thank Goodness he hasn't got ears like his father!" ~ The Queen on seeing Prince William for the first time.
"Children today are tyrants. They have no respect for their elders, flout authority and have appalling manners. What terrible creatures will they grow up into?" ~ Socrates (There is nothing new under the sun is there?)
Hope everybody has a great weekend.

Lots of laughs reading those captions, especially Sylvia's ;o)
I've never been one for sitting out in the sun for too long, the last couple of years I've enjoyed sitting in the garden with a book, but this year... well, I don't think my computer cable's reach that far!!
Beautiful roses.

The roses look great, I am a real rose lover but I cant seem to get them to grow muck. Do you have a secret you could share with me?

Another beautiful picture - wonderful roses! Yes, I'm afraid they say it's going to be very warm this weekend - hope you manage to stay reasonably comfortable. And we certainly do need some good rain - preferably during night time!

Your roses are lovely Jeannette. Sadly any I have ever had do not thrive I don`t know why, I tried everything, it`s not the soil because the lady who used to live next door had masses of them. Oh well, I`ll have to settle for looking at other peoples. Have a lovely weekend and thanks for the quotes! :-)
