Cancelled Summer

So normally this is my favourite time of the year - the long Glastonbury weekend followed by the two glorious weeks of the Wimbledon tennis tournament.

Not this year. 


Quite rightly, a couple of months ago both events were cancelled, Instead, me and "M" are watching classic headliners from past festivals. The BBC are brilliant at this sort of thing, and are promising much the same during the Wimbledon fortnight - a choice of classic tennis matches.


This morning Emily Eavis, the main Glastonbury organiser now that her Dad is getting on, tried her best to put a positive spin on the cancellation. It's full speed ahead for next years's event she explained as this year would have been the 50th anniversary of the event.

Wimbledon is much the same - focusing on 2021. 


Ironically we've had a lovely Spring this year and another prolonged hot spell of weather breaks up tomorrow after today was the hottest day of the year so far; 31C in London.

This is the strangest year I've lived through - it's hard to escape the feeling that the whole thing should be written off and everyone reconvenes on the 1st January next year.
