Stormy Weather II

[vinteuil]

.

... sunshine, pleasantly warm, perky southerly breeze.

Sky here is very odd. At the moment it is pretty heavy cloud, but with a bit of an orange glow. Kind of reminds me of the last eclipse.

Earlier ,when the sky was clearer, the sun was an amazing sight.

Sun occasionally strong enough to be producing an orange glow on the carpet where it's shining through the window.
Oddly appropriate for Stravinsky's Firebird, perhaps!
Spooky music, eerie-looking outdoors.
Wind getting stronger as leaves now fluttering.

The sky here is now absolutely perfect as a backdrop to, say, "The Fall of the House of Usher."

Exactly as oop 'ere. Saharan dust in atmosphere. Wind now getting up, BUT we have sun and blue skies as well! But for how long?
Strangely warm.

Most odd atmosphere out today, reminded me of the Mad Max films...

Street lamps all on at 3pm. And people scurrying along in the gale, glancing at the yellow sky like scared Medieval peasants.

They've just told us on the news that this strange yellow colour is sand being swept up from the Sahara. And a bright red sun shining through it this morning.

I was talking to my sister in North Wales an hour or so ago, and she said that as well as the strange colour, she noticed a strange smell of burning. And Radio 4 says that's smoke from forest fires in Portugal.

Yes.

Most peculiar.

I have never seen it quite as it has been here in the past two hours.

Almost like liquid.

A milky grey armageddon.

Extraordinary.

I keep hearing of a condition called Stormophilia.

Grey here, big very blustery winds, as yet no rain.

[un barbu]

It will be dark soon here on the West Lothian/East Stirlingshire marches , the usual crows are making wing to the rooky wood, and there is no sign of the gale as yet though the forecast is for fierce winds in a couple of hours. We will be on the periphery of the gale by all accounts. It seems to be heading in a north westerly direction. Of course, by 2 am I could be giving a far different story.

The orangey-green hue to the sky cleared suddenly at about 3 o'clock this afternoon and there was a couple of hours of bright sunshine. Just as I was thinking that we'd escaped the gales in this bit of the Pennines, there was a sudden fierce gust at a quarter past six - but even that calmed down within half-an-hour. We seem to have been lucky (at the risk of tempting fate) - the horrific news reports from Ireland and parts of the UK were greatly humbling.

Winds beginning to blow here, raging somewhat and cracking cheeks a bit. Coward that she is, my dear wife will not let me out - she suspects I am a closet stormophiliac.

Surely that's where she'd wish you to be, Padraig?

I made a mess of that, didn't I?

It's the weather!
