Yes, we were told "the May" (Hawthorn blossom). Although we have had some glorious sunny days we still put our electric blanket on at night to take the chill off the bed. I remember some quite cold days in May when the school heating was turned off (May to October) and we wore a lot of layers of clothing.
Today it's not quite as sunny and a cardigan is required, but we still have a few more days before the rain comes at the weekend, apparently. Our poor garden is very dry and the pots need a lot of watering, however it does look as though we shall have a bumper crop of strawberries.
I'll be wending my way to the surgery this afternoon for my Annual Review (height, weight, BP, blood test to be sent off to the hospital, etc.), something they offer to all us oldies. Now to find out whether my blood pressure monitor is working properly. Apparently you can take them to a chemist's to be calibrated. Did you know?
