Stormy Weather

[vinteuil]

Who was it who notoriously said that we should pray for the wisdom necessary to be able to distinguish between the things that we can't change, and those we can?

.

It was Reinhold Niebuhr I believe.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference"

Rather cloudy and some sun today. Tell everyone has broken up from school now. Certainly busy in Sainsbury's this morning!

I've just been looking as the worst weather charts I've ever set eyes on for July as regards what's coming here tomorrow and on Sunday, so I think I'll make the best of today's equable temperatures and - yes!!! - light winds, and take to the bike. There probably won't be any more chances before mid-week; plenty of opportunities to test out a new brolly, however!

What, from THIS government? Vote corbyn is my advice, he'll stop this sort of thing. Remember the hot summers of the Wilson/ Callaghan years?

Blisfully quiet roads today with schools out.

But what sort of weather is THIS for Proms queuing tomorrow?

The thought occurs to me that after 3 hours in pouring rain, half an hour of listening to the BBC singers wil seem like heaven.......


( i am in discussions with an exceptionally helpful amazon marketplace seller to help me find the elusive power adaptor...... But thanks for the suggestion Pulcers, much appreciated !!)

They are harvesting the wheatfields round here today.

The weekend forecast looks absolutely dire but a dry looking Saturday up here holds out some hope. Looks like you effete Southerners are going to see some real weather for a change!

I said yesterday was "chilly" - deteriorated into "parky" overnight: I gave up the struggle and made a hot water bottle at around 1:00am, AND the Central Heating came on briefly this morning, which means the temperature must have dipped below 5 degrees! In July!!!!

Ditto here ref temps.
I think back to the summer we had in April. So that was it?
