'Enjoy the weather in Cardiff' = Mission Impossible?

Can somebody please tell me what the weather is doing? All my hopes of a warm summer in Wales have been scuppered by all the rain that we have had. I don't remember a summer like this, though it is only my third in Wales. I can’t even think about the song by Calvin Harris 'When I met you in the summer'- how much chance is there of meeting somebody in this weather? Zero. And the pessimistic part of me has just been sniggering at my optimistic part, when Nicky came with our weekly blog post about RAIN! You will need to wait for that one till tomorrow.

So my dear friends, what can we do this week, if the weather decides to carry on with these daily showers? Let’s have a look.
Tom Cruise is back with his Mission Impossible escapades- which number are we on now? I stopped counting after number three. As usual the film is promising great action, full of impossible things (e.g. boarding a plane while the plane is taking off). I just hope that Tom Cruise will manage and we will manage to watch it too. And don't forget about our Saturday trip with Nicky this week!!
