Summer in the UK is where all the people who normally say "It's too cold, and too wet!" suddenly say "It's too hot and too bright!" until it goes away, and then they finish by saying "We never had a summer this year, what's the world coming to!"
Down South summer happened this year in May. There were two weeks of lovely sun and warmth. I expect the rest of it to arrive in September, but we'll see.
Oh, and Flipper - good work! I could tell that the background set was a model, but it really adds a wonderful felling of depth to MA as we know it. I'll look forward to seeing the top surface reflections should it reach a releasable level.
