Je crie, donc je suis

List the people whom you admire and to whom you look for advice.

I don’t have a list. But, if I did, and BBC Weather were on it, they would be firmly crossed off. With opaque permanent marker.

Mon Dieu: would you believe that the day-long thunderbolts and lightning forecast for Sunday didn’t happen? 

The weather forecast that I showed in my last post was pretty damning, non? Well, it turns out that it was all lies. Most of the morning was cloudy but not unpleasant – in fact, in many ways, better than being too hot. And, during the afternoon, we even had sun and a few blue sky moments. There was no rain. Not a single drop.

Cat Daddy is absolutely livid that it was so far off what was promised, and we can’t believe that we called off the party for this. No doubt our friends all think we’re massive idiots for calling off, although they’ve been too polite to say.

The only positive in this situation is that Catorze had no idea we were throwing him a party. And, had he known, he still wouldn’t have given a shit.

When your party plans go awry, a nap on a hi-vis cycling jacket is always fun.

To cheer ourselves up, we have been trying to reschedule. But it’s proving to be quite difficult getting all the original invitees together on the same day. So it looks as if we will have to host a series of parties throughout the summer, with a constant flow of different guests, just like the flotilla from the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. And, should the weather turn against us, we will be able to accommodate the smaller groups indoors. 

The first crew of Catorze’s Sixteenth Birthday Flotilla will be welcomed in a couple of weeks’ time. We will keep you updated about the others.
