      Brummie Simon hits back

      In a written posting on his website, Simon challenges the many postings he must have received questioning his climate change skepticism:



      I don't know what to think... Saturday had been predicted to be quite a reasonable day; now it looks likely to be a washout. Meanwhile it has become very sticky here, so they got that right.

        I think I undertood a tenth of BrummieSimon's post but two thoughts struck me as I was reading it. Most people I talk to think a) the weather is strange and has been for quite a while; and b) the weather forecasters have lost the plot

        Oh and another one - was BrummieSimon just a tad miffed not to be invited along to the Met people's confab today?

            Cheers S_A - I've just had a coffee, that's probably why

            How am I doing for getting a line of washing dry this afternoon in NW2?

              I'd guess not too well I'm afraid Ams: it may be touching 22 C right now, but there's not much air movement, and humidity's high... Maybe if the sun manages to break through.

                Per a friend's iPhone: not ideal




                Summertime....
                "...the isle is full of noises,
                Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                  And we're coming up to Wimbledon AND the Ashes Tests so we might just as well start hibernating now

                    Effing ridiculous ain't it.

                    Still, the sun's out for my ride home. Hoping to time it so the last 10 minutes is 'Festmusik der Stadt Wien' on t'radio
