Stormy Weather

[Nick Armstrong]

I've drawn the curtains and put the light on at just after 4pm. The hour goes back a week today, when this would be 3pm [I think] I like daylight, this is miserable and still raining hard. Moan, moan.

Just got back after a small shopping trip - gloomy, windy, incessant drizzle: very autumnal I suppose, with the tang of wet leaves in the nose... part of me rather likes it! Good to be back in the warm

Sorry to hear that. After early morning mist, it's been a lovely day here, though cold. Strange, living so near the city centre, but all I can see from my window is sky and trees, which today were at their autumnal colourful best.

As you say, clocks go back next Sunday, and in a few weeks it'll be pitch black here at 4 pm.

Fabulous, fabulous day here on the Cumbrian fells. Unrivalled.

Yes; sorry to everyone who's had lousy weather, but it's been a glorious weekend in the Pennines - temperatures of 11 & 12 degrees, Simpsons skies (where has Marthe got to?), Sunshine and such colours!

Set to change into Wintery conditions from next Friday.

Morning all. I thought there was a fire burning somewhere but it's a horrible smell of fog/mist even permeating through the shut windows.

I think we get the London air coming South when the wind blows this way. Not much traffic here yet so it must be that. And seagulls have arrived, flying around the nearby park/green and waiting for the butcher to throw out waste material for them to fight over.

Murky but not very cold as yet.

Boo hoo Ferney!! :)

Saw the five day forecast on /countryfile, last night. It cetrainly doesn't look good towards the end of the week.(if it's right ofcourse!).

Very fisty and moggy in this neck of the woods today, but near normal temperature of 13 C.

The Pole in Flat 14 says this is the sort of weather for which he loves autumnal Britain, but advection fog can occur anywhere where warm air becomes ensaturated passing across a cold surface, as must commonly happen in Poland too in, for example, thaw conditions.

The post lady's view is that the weather needs wringing out!

No. He's quite tall but I don't think he'll ever be a star.

Oh S_A I think you could develop the idea of The Pole in Flat 14 as some sort of local sage ('benificent numen' as Anthony Burgess had it).

Whatever you do, try to ensure that the ubiquitous Alexander McCall Smith doesn't get to hear of him first, please

Or maybe a Pole with a hint of a mole...
