Hmm - I don't know if I am being particularly stupid, but I said earlier on that I should have worn my farmer type wellies - by that I meant those green Dunlop things. Not fancy blue or red ones. Then Smokey made some comment about wellies not being wellies. And I said "if they aren't wellies - what are they?" and Smokey said "Wellington boots???"

I am lost here. Isn't that where I came in?? I somehow think Smokey and I are talking about the same thing but we both think we aren't!!!

Like my neighbour says "Perhaps I should stand up - that went right over my head!!"

If it helps, wellies in Canada are referred to as just 'rubber boots', sometimes gumboots. I've heard them be called mukluks and galoshes too but that's stretching it I think.

I have no idea if this was helpful; I'm still sitting.

BTW Liz, if it makes you feel any better about your weather, I just turned the heat on. June! Heat on!

LOL....we did as well........we have had the strangest weather here!

Smokey

Yeah!!! Thanks so much I was wondering what a canadian called them. I couldn't believe that they simply don't have them.

Mossies made an appearance yesterday as I mowed the lawn...nice bites

Liz, sorry to confuse....we were sorta talking about the same thing but I should have explained myself more clearly. One of the costs of pulling the night shifts - being sometimes completely incomprehensible...crikey two days off just means sleep, sleep, sleep...

I brought mine back from England with me one time - my Wellies that is. They came from the farm shop in Marden. So that is why I call them farmer Wellies!!

Yes, I tend to call them rubber boots when I am talking to Canadians and Wellies when I am talking to English friends!

It was lovely here today. I sat out all day on the deck.
