Stormy Weather

[amateur51]

I'm truly sorry to hear of your weather down south. Today in Drumnadrochit we have blue skies and bright sunlight - at the moment, anyway. Come winter I'll be looking for commiserations from all you southernites.

Depends what kind of deal Wee Eck tries to cut regarding an independent Scotland's weather, alycidon

NOT if I have anything to do with it, am. Up with the Union!

Me too alycidon but I have no say, like all the rest of said institution

[alycidon]

Quite. Wee Eck would have none of that, would he? He did an ice-bucket yesterday, but I very much doubt that it's knocked any sense into him.

Good for you! Enjoy it!

Pouring down here and, yes, dark. Feel so sorry for all the people who work to put on the Notting Hill Carnival... The buzzing summer atmos will be a washout this year, I fear...

I'm a few miles away from Notting Hill Carnival Route but with the wind in the right (wrong?) direction I can hear the familiar heavy beat.

No sounds of Met helicopters yet but I can hear sirens

Sorry to hear about all the weather woes in the south. Here, it's as sunny and bright a day as it is in Drumnadrochit - though it's not particularly warm.

Still, there will no doubt be plenty of heat - if not much light - produced this evening.

BBC1 in Scotland, but BBC2 in England for reasons obscure to me, but no doubt clear to the BBC.

In Ultima Thule [NW] there is a powerful EAST wind under uniformly grey skies.

It's that typical August Bank Holiday rain here: the sort of very fine drizzle that has you soaked in seconds. It's also dark, cold and overcast with a pretty fierce wind blowing. In short a thoroughly dismal day.

Been clearing my late mother's effects this morning but it's a daunting and sad task. You can accumulate an awful lot of stuff in 84 years!

Coincidentally, I have been having a major tidy up - delayed because it seems such a shame to waste valuable summer sunshine when it affords itself, along with all that free Vitamin D. Besides which, what else is there to do on a dull wet August Bank Holiday than sort out long ouststanding stuff and have a major clean up. How sad though that the last BH before Christmas has to be on the wettest day for quite some time, especially for the Notting Hill carnivallers.

I once got stuck on the Metropolitan line with two heavy suitcases on this particular Monday. Travelling west from Liverpool Street to Paddington the tube was so jam-packed I had to wait until Ladbrook Grove, where I alighted, descended the stairs, explained my plight to an understanding member of staff, and transferred to the opposte platform, just managing to make it in time for my designated train back to the West Country.

39 degrees with a beautiful soft breeze. Octopus salad and a glass of chilled Chablis.

how much did it cost?.........

Wild, wild night in Ultima Thule. NE winds very strong.

Mrs Oven is paying. If I ask, she might think I'm interested in picking up the tab and that won't do.

Enjoy the queue and gig - I've missed another year of proms.

Like wellbeck and co you missed an open goal there....you were supposed to say "sick squid".

Looks like I may just have a chance of getting to the Mahler 3 Leipzigers Prom.....but need a ticket.

Serves you right about missing al the fun. Isn't there anything on at the Turkish Proms?


incidentally, I would mention to Mrs Oven that a deal is a deal, plus your card is not working......
