Dean Martin - Baby it is cold outside

Brrr it is cold outside - which reminds me of that Dean Martin song (you know - "Baby it's cold outside"!!). In fact we had the coldest month for May since the early 1950's and for June since the 1970's. So much for global warming - more like global cooling! For June we had a total of 14 hours of sunshine only- the rest of the time it was grey overcast drizzly and snowy! It is certainly not your "usual" winter weather - as we can always expect to see some sun here. No wonder we are freezing in our Bear cave and need to increase our fire - by adding another log to the fire. Here the two teenagers can be seen working hard - and they figured that this gives them the right to sit right in front of it and hog the warmth!!

Gutted

Wouldn't you know it - we have a TOTAL fire ban on in town!!! Major bummer.
I mean TOTAL - not even open gas cookers. pfft - poor old Larry will have a few weeks of xtra living to do and as he is a hmmmm 14 month lamb (I think)- by the time we cook him he might be a tad old in the tooth. And that means having to cook him even slower. Just as well we got all night to roast the poor beast! lol if we not carefull we could just smoke the poor thing and eat it over a few weeks. Poor lamb!! Still more time to sit round the roast pit and swap tall stories about previous scout encounters - oops camps!! Not to mention planning for our next camp!!
The way the local weather is going Larry will have till Easter at least - hmmmm don't get me started on a sacrificial lamb!!!! :D
