Stormy Weather

[BBMmk2]

We have that yellow round thing in the sky today! Hmmm......what's it called(it's certainly very nice but still quite cold!!)

[Nick Armstrong]

I know this is a truism in terms of Earth Science, but what a difference Bbm's "yellow round thing" makes... It turns a freezing cycle ride into a bracing pleasure.

More of that sort of sunny thing, I say!

It's lovely and warm in my kitchen, facing S/E and freezing in my living room facing N/W, where this is. Sun in the back has turned the central heating off.

Not complaining but not going out if I can manage with grub for today. Still that cold wind here.

[aka Calum Da Jazbo]

..still have ice underfoot though ....

I'd be happy with just a , Anna!
NO chance of seeing the comet from these parts...

Aw, here's a cyber one for now! Couldn't see it last night, no chance tonight as cloud building in advance of promised rain.

Saly, I have double aspect fenestration (there's posh, look you!) so my main room is NE and SW which means sun either end during the day, kitchen is also SW and gets very warm but unfortunately is tiny.
Pleasant day, -4.8° overnight but a high of 7.9° and noticeably more blossom around, including forsythia which, to be honest, is nice and bright for a brief while but otherwise a very boring shrub!

Looking forward to mangerton's report on his excursion into Dark Sky Tourism.

I understand there's a very effective cream available from Boots, Anna!

Reminds me of a friend who, much given to malapropisms, one day pointed to a copulation she had on the roof of her Victorian house".

Reminds me of an elderly neighbour who told me that in spite of having two children she had never had an organism.

I'm afraid I gave this, such as it was, at #7417 above.

I didn't see the comet on Monday as I suspect I left it too late. On Tuesday there was, perversely, a great deal of cloud cover. Sod's law rules again. I stopped on the way home yesterday evening in the eastern borders. I got home at lunchtime today having driven through snow flurries.

From a comet watching pov, it was all a bit disappointing. However, the sight of the skies from a very dark part of the country was remarkable and would have been well worth the journey even without the other reasons (mostly genealogical) for my visit.

Lots of rain expected this weekend, temperatures back to normal, however... for January!

Apparently the change is temporary, with cold northerlies returning around Tuesday, but Brummie Simon's sticking to his prediction of warmer weather sweeping in on the 24th, and staying for the rest of the month.

Reminds me of a blooper by the late great Jack "Mr Time Check" de Manio on 'Today' aeons ago - "and after the news we'll be hearing from a chap who's grown an orgasm in a test tube ... erm"

Yes I agree about jobs that are high up, they get higher as one gets older. Family found me a very nice private cleaner, she is a gem but.....she is about 4ft 10inches, wears sandels and I daren't ask her to change curtains, clean win dows, or, as I used to, clean the pictures rails and skirting boards.

She loves cleaning taps though and spends ages on them but I don't want tolose her.
