Stormy Weather

[ferneyhoughgeliebte]

Congratulations on the Exam results, Bbm, and best wishes for a speedy end to the anaemia. I managed to lose two-and-a-half stone four or five years ago (and kept the weight down ever since) by gradually cutting down the amount I ate and gradually increasing the amount of moving around I do - something as simple as parking at the bottom of the car park at work and walking longer routes between rooms. Eighteen months and I lost four inches off my waist, and got rid of the acid indigestion that had plagued me for years - and I feel much healthier.


A grey start to the day in the Pennines, but now the cloud has lightened and the sun is out: looks lovely!

My GP said not to take anything until they have established what kind of anaemia I have.

Good Luck anyway, Bbm

I can usually work out what the words are, Bbm, but that one's got me stumped!! Any clues?



Best of luck with the health issues

[Nick Armstrong]

Oh! "Similarly"!! (Saying 'simimalry' aloud did the trick! )

Thursday night it dipped to 5.6 but what a starry night and a brilliant moon, in fact, the night before the Blue Moon, and the whole place was lit up as if there were arc-lights outside. Unfortunately last night was cloudy so the beauty of the full moon was not to be seen.
Just listening R3 to Cameron Carpenter, afternoon Prom, on the thundering Willis Organ playing Bach, he's so OTT but luckily JRR will be coming along shortly! And, staying in tonight to watch the John Wilson Prom, which I am looking forward to.

Fairly typical balmy early autumn weather predicted for the coming week - temperatures roughly where they are at present, high humidity levels, light winds, not a great deal of sunshine, but very little rain for the bulk of the country.

Anyone interested enough to examine the Atlantic weather chart will notice a funny little dart board in the south-west corner of the field. That is Hurricane Kirk - which formed in the Caribbean 4 days ago, then moved north, avoiding most land. On Wednesday its energies will fuse with a normal Atlantic low to its north, to cause it to deepen; but since the airflow over that part of the Atlantic is northward-moving, this won't affect us here; and it will skirt where marthe is, to the east.

Haven't seen the night sky or moon for weeks here. The weather has not been good.

And dammit! I thought the organ recital was tomorrow. I have now checked and find that it is, but there's one today as well. I shall have to Listen Again. Careless of me.

Off out shortly to celebrate (if that's the right word) the tenth anniversary of my place of work opening.

And is that the best nightlife that Dundee can offer, Corporate tepid wine and a Doritos, or will it be as per Rabi Burns:?
''Ae market night,
Tam had got planted unco right,
Fast by an ingle, bleezing finely,
Wi' reaming swats that drank divinely"
Enjoy your evening!

I had an impromptu conversation with a total stranger at the bus stop on Friday who informed me that her central heating had come on that morning.

Ah; the North/South divide - ours came on of its own volition for the first time last Sunday (#5059).

Lovely day for laundry and gardening today: warm sunshine, slight breeze. Now the just waning moon has crept from behind the clouds - very Turneresque!

I bet that bus couldn't come soon enough...

S_A: as always, thanks for the weather report! This is the first I've heard of Hurricane Kirk but 'tis the season (hurricane season, that is) and anything can happen. As it is, we've had several days of glorious late-summer weather complete with a brilliant blue moon last night. We're supposed to be getting a bit of wind and rain from Isaac tomorrow and Monday. Clouds are moving in already. We'll be up in Vermont in two weeks time. Night time temps can be down at freezing there in mid-Sept. It's almost time to start looking for all the jeans and wooly jumpers that were put away for the summer. The glories of New England weather! The old-time saying here is "if you don't like the weather just wait a minute."

Thank you. It was fine. There were none of the above, unfortunately, because the hostelry selected does not deal in real ales.

As a result, to paraphrase Tom Lehrer, I had to make do with gin.
