Warsaw in Poland recorded a maximum temp of 18C yesterday - a record, 5C higher than the previous one for that country. A lot of discussion on UKWW site, including around the possibility of residual heat from this past summer, the warmest yet recorded, globally and in many places locally worldwide, while noting that sea surface temperatures down in the Med, the source of the airstream, are also unusually high.

Here just a typical January day associated with a passing ridge of high pressure before the next Atlantic vigorous low speeds in to give all areas strong to gale-force winds and rain from Tomorrow to Thursday.

This morning I had the surprise of discovering large balls of grey fur all over my outside doormat! I can only explain this by the mysterious nocturnal presence of a very large, lynx-like grey cat, complete with tufted ears but also long fur, which has lately been lurking in the porch area outside my flat and the next-door neighbour's, which I had chased away on a couple of occasions, mistaking it for a fox. Cats sometime like to find a rough surface to roll around on if they are suffering with fleas or itchy skin conditions; my doormat might well have been ideal for the purpose.

The Dulwich Panther?

V warm in Berlin according to my sources….

Lovely here today, mild, sunny, loads of folk out walking their packs of hounds.
Went for a most enjoyable gentle run for an hour down the woods, before coming back to make inroads into the high calorie leftover.xmas and new year grub.

Back to work tomorrow.

In the good old days, Mrs TS would have qualified for her state pension in two weeks time…..instead of in 20 ***** 30 .

Back to the dull, cloudy day! So good to see the sun. May have some rain.

Yesterday - lovely day loads of sun. Today very wet!

[Petrushka]

Rain here for most of the morning and so dark it's difficult to read without the light on.

Same here. I had a wet coming of it to the market - and after all that battling through the wind and rain the fish stall wasn't there! It's possible they are having an extended seasonal break, but I'm so used to it being there every week, whatever the weather - often during covid times the only one in the market place - that it didn't cross my mind that might not happen today. Never mind, it got me out for fresh air and exercise, and I met several acquaintances in passing to exchange a few words with, so not a wasted journey.
The forecast looks a bit odd, with wind getting very strong, and rain mostly continuing, but the temperature rising at the same time so the hours of darkness will be several degrees up on today's daytime temperatures.

Very rainy here, stops playground option for childcare but we have enjoyed some role playing games and a paw patrol comic.

Sounds like fun! Raining today. Dull, and miserable!
