Stormy Weather

Amazing and perfect this Sunday morning. But I will forbear to photograph the barometer - not sure I could handle the deep technical lacuna.

Here is a picture I took a few minutes ago which allegedly shows the climatic conditions pertaining in the sitting room of mangerton towers.

I'm now wondering what valuable manuscripts or artefacts mangerton stores in his sitting room to justify such monitoring equipment? Or does he keep his wine cellar there

Yesterday, after a couple of not very heavy showers around midday turned into the most perfect, sunny, warm day although a bit humid and ended with not a cloud in the sky and a starry night. This morning bright and breezy, feeling a lot fresher in the SW wind.

I'm curently further south than Pabs but it is just as hot and humid. One of our sons is doing voluntary work on Bohol helping to clear up after their earthquake last October. He put me to work for the day on Tuesday, and me and the Mrs yesterday. Sledgehammering, shovelling etc in baking heat. We felt like sweaty convicts! It was good to see the wreckage of a primary school building being finally cleared up. The school kids were a happy lively bunch!
Off to Singapore in the morning for more heat and humidity

Brilliantly sunny over London, with just a scattering of small cumuli and cirrus feathers above, SSW gentle breeze; 21 degrees C. which I would expect to reach 23 C. A new freebie Sunday afternoon jazz session has just started up over at New Cross, in a pub not far from my usual Tuesday night. Usually it's karaoke whenever I pass by there, lots of semi-inebriate people louding it up outside. I'm biking it down to have a look - wish me luck on the Queens Road/New Cross Road intersection!

Tomorrow looks not so good on this side of the country, with showery/thundery weather continuing until Tuesday, then warmish and dry as far as Brummie Simon can see.

Wonder no longer, Anna. Absolutely none*, and the wine is stored elsewhere. The monitoring equipment was supplied as "apps" on my new phone, whether I wanted them or not.

OT, not too bad a day here, though there was a heavy shower earlier.

* Actually, come to think of it, there is my family tree info, which, while of no monetary value, represents more than twenty years' research. It is however backed up on various hard drives and clouds.

Pleased it seems to have worked out OK.

Surprised that no one else has posted on the thread today. It's been the warmest day so far this year here - 25 degrees C - and I've witnessed some of the most unusual cloud formations, some of which were similar to those posted by Brummie Simon on his website. The only disappointment has been no thunder whatsoever, despite stifling humidity, though I can hear heavy rain right now, so...

[Nick Armstrong]

Just had 10 minutes of monsoon style downpour! ... but yes, no thunder or lightning

It did, and thanks for your helpful advice, Pabs

We really enjoyed scootering around Bohol. We survived the Tagbilaran traffic! The Philippine people are polite and friendly.

All Hands volunteers were a great bunch, all motivated. All were up and off to work by 7 for six days a week.

We are now in far different surroundings in a plush hotel in Singapore. Will somebody please turn off the muzac!
