Stormy Weather

[Serial_Apologist]

The BBC site was astonishingly accurate last night, S_A. I popped out just before 5 and although the pavements were moist, there was still no rain. Then when I left around 6.15pm, there were big puddles everywhere, but the rain had already passed through - exactly the time frame indicated on the weather map hour-by-hour. Indeed, the wind was drying the pavements, the roads were practically dry by the time I reached home.

I imagine you cycled to your evening event by starlight, didn't you? It was very clear in the centre...

PS I have never seen a dog with more fascinating eyes, mahlerei! What a looker!

Yes, lovely and clear, both for the down and return journeys, Caliban.

Wow! Literally as I write an amazing double rainbow has just appeared to the NE!

Oh Sky! She's gorgeous! And so well-named!

Why are her eyes different, Mahlerei? I ask because my robust 15-year old tabbycat Hooch has just been afflicted with a sudden blindness, we've been to the vet today, it may be partly recoverable, back and forth with him tomorrow for tests and scans. Hypertension might be a factor apparently...

But he's in good spirits after a tough day or two. Cats do so much by smell, hearing, touch and feel...

Dark 'n' stormy night, so here are pictures of Sky to cheer y'all up.

That's because Mahlerei has fitted her with one of those Naomi Campbell contact lenses for a part in an as yet to be announced SciFi movie. Seriously though jayne, dogs of this and other kinds often have non-matching coloured pupils.

not sure if video refs allowed - this afternoon's boat arriving in Douglas (the return journey is already cancelled as have been a few over last week or so) - http://youtube.com/v/zuBy-EFNwK0?version=3 - howling winds with more to come

[handsomefortune]

wow - like a stage set out at sea.

[handsomefortune]

Sky looks as if she's enjoying a good joke.


exactly, she does marthe!

[Serial_Apologist]

Anyone have a cure for seasickness?

[handsomefortune]

i was proper chilly watching that video link! loved it when the lights came on - very atmospheric ......someone should have entered stage left, and performed something....ideally.

whereas i think you may have been concentrating on the waves a bit too much if you feel sea sick serial apologist!

I like the way you write "hopefully" in small font, humbly, like...

[Mahlerei]

Nice pix of Sky mahlerei, beautiful eyes, but you let animals on the furniture?

Erm, yes. She's sort of taken over, you see.

Sorry to hear about Hooch. 'Tis a worry when they're not well.

The different coloured eyes is a feature of the breed. It's rather disconcerting, as the brown one is warm and trusting, the blue one a bit cool and calculating. That said, she's very affectionate and easygoing. She gets lots of admiring comments when we're out walking. I heard one child say to his mum: 'Look, there's a wolf!'

The left eye's probably connected to the left brain then...

I bet you were surprised she didn't say, "Look, there's a chimpanzee"

Yes, when my son was little he pointed at a shaggy little dog and yelled 'Sheep!"
