Not yet, BBM, but according to "Brummie Simon", owing to an El Nino just now starting up, this coming winter is expected by be dominated by NE winds, and therefore a cold one here.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post
Heavy shower just before six this evening, nice big cauliflour cumulus; maximum temperature today only 17 degrees C. Looks like this is going to be the first month of this year registering below-normal temperatures.Comment

A fierce wind blowing here yesterday yet again but has now settled to a chilly breeze. This has been a very disappointing August so far. Any improvement in sight?"The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment

An unexpectedly sunny day in the Pennines yesterday, but cool and quite a bit of cloud. Perfect walking weather, in fact, so I took myself off to Ingleborough to do some reconnaissance ready for my second of the Three Peaks. I only ended up getting half-way up: I would have gone the whole way, but the gradient got so steep taking it from that side that, whilst I may have made it to the top, I wasn't at all confident I'd be able to make it back down*! Still, much further than I'd intended, and a much more interesting and varied walk than Pen-y-Ghent. Very few other peolple around, too - in the whole two and a half hours, I met only four other couples - one of which was running the Three Peak Challenge! What's the joy there?! Also a pair of blokes in their sixties who were caked with mud from potholing. Don't see the fun there, either, but a great inspiration to see people older than myself more physically active than I am.
A sunny start again this morning - with just a light shower forecast for later. Grandparents have been brought in to take grandchildren for days out before the end of the the holidays - and/or in some cases, before the GCSE results come out tomorrow. Best Wishes to any anxious parents/grandparents/uncles/aunts etc

Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Perhaps Sandi was channelling George "Say good night Gracie!" Burns at the time?Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostPedants Corner - plagiary alert - Sandi pinched it from George Burns, I hope she made the attribution - the original quote:

Is George Burns related to Bbm?
