Less than a week left in August

I don’t like the way Summer is racing past us like a Lamborghini racing past a Corsa but I suppose it happens every year. As much as we’d like to think that every month is equal and time passes the same way regardless of the season, we know from experience that this simply isn’t true. As the great Charles M. Schultz put it - “Summers fly, Winters walk” and never has this seemed truer to me than now. The darker months seemed to drag like a drag queen being dragged behind a drag racer, now the brighter months are racing past us like a racehorse racing past a donkey. As the days get longer, they also seem to get faster. It’s accentuated more this year because Spring was so damn cold and so damn Wintry. Now we get a Summer full of rain and cloud? I hate to sound like a teenage girl but it simply isn’t fair. My only hope is that we have another nice September and October, the way we have in the past couple of years, because if we don’t then this year will have been a Hell of a let-down.
