and probably far from original.
 I was occupied in de-tangling a ball of wool and wondering if it had already hit 39C, as forecast, when it occurred to me that I wasn’t looking forward to summer.
 Instantly a song popped into my head: Steve Lawrence, I think it was, singing in his already adult years a hit song for the then teens – “Can’t Wait for Summer”. Dunno when it was, but either late ’50s or early ’60s.
 The lyrics, e.g.:
 
  Can’t wait for summer to run around in shorts;
 
  Can’t wait for summer to play on tennis courts
 and
 
  Can’t wait...
