Stormy Weather

[Chris Newman]

the 5th miserable summer in a row. Global warming really???

I think, the global warming lobby would call this "weather" not "climate" and point to retreating glaciers. It is difficult for a layman to know what to believe.

I agree, gurnemanz. A former neighbour of mine, Carl Tyler, the Meridian TV Weatherman of old, said "You get these dreadful outbursts of hot weather" (he meant like the droughts we see in the Horn of Africa and the Southern USA at the moment) "and every drop of moisture for thousands of square miles goes up. And you know the saying--- What goes up must come down. Trouble is it when it comes down it really comes down and sadly rarely comes down where it left a drought."

ah the good old warming ... the global average temperature is rising along with the increasing variability [hotter and cooler] of weather, and we have a dodgy Nina at present ... we can be much cooler for long periods without invalidating the predicted pattern of climate change .... er Greenland is BROWN ere once it was white ....

..........cranes?

No, you don't need cranes. You just attach the hooks to the sky. Get on the blower to God first - ask him to reach down to lend a hand

i was rather thinking of the flying cranes ... birds, decorative, as in etc ....

but i think it will be a ball of string somewhere in the fix ... if i could only find it [have that problem with the almighty as well, put him down somewhere and now can't find him]

I find the same thing with keys. To life, front door, etc

Wet here today. Beech hedge is in danger of becoming a row of beech trees.

Cousins are going to Kent Show at Maidstone. Is it wet there too, does anyone know?

Morning Saly

VERY WET here in this corner of Kent and I expect it’s much the same in Maidstone. A neighbour went to Kent Show yesterday. Apparently it cost £19.50 just to go in. Or is this the norm these days?

I had a beech hedge that was turning into a row of trees. I managed to have it trimmed in the spring and had a huge pile of very good pea sticks.

Very wet in this corner of West Sussex, Doversoul! St Swithan has certainly done her work again!!

Just tell any complainants that you're off-setting your carbon foot-print, salymap!

My parents had 80 yards of 10 foot high beech hedge to cut every year. The gardener always used to slice through the cable to the electric trimmer he used. Eventually it led me to take over the job. Fortunately the next doors on either side were prepared to trim their respective sides.

As far as I know that gardener is still living

Looks like the main weather system will pass through around lunchtime, followed by blustery thundery showers. Not a good day for queuing up for the proms! I shall be attending the chamber concert in aid of Amnesty International at my local church tonight.

S-A

having done the essential shopping yesterday [coffee,fags, salad] i am staying indoors today ... the middle kingdom is dripping wet and blustery ... not found the string yet but looking at the isobars on the weather map i will need to do something today or the hollyhocks will fall in the wind ...

Very moist here in Kent. Will be fun walking the pooch :(

Just brightening up a bit in the Manchester area after a very wet morning.Good news for my dog because i am walking him this afternoon for a couple of hours and he hates the rain (and he's frightened of cats, what a wimp!).

Afternoon Mahlerei. Do you ever wish your son had decided on a corgi or a cairn terrier? Small to dry, needs less exercise. Bestio,saly
