Good morning tooters. It’s was a very cold frosty 🥶 morning today at -2c with a feels like of -4c & it certainly did feel that cold. Small black 🐀 💼 came & jumped on my bed during the night & curled into my back. Pretty good hot water bottle too. Larger 🐀 💼 stayed curled up in a corner of the lounge. As I’d been told to do when it’s really cold by the homeowner, I left the ducted heating on 16c all night just ticking over, so didn’t feel too cold when I got up at around 5.30am.
Just hanging around Chiltern today, might go & have a coffee out & a nice walk, but that’s it. My NZ friend heads down to Melbourne & the airport on the morning train tomorrow & I go home Sunday morning 😊.
I’ve been having some big thinks this morning - dangerous I know! I’ve been planning on a new ceiling fan in my bedroom for this coming summer as the old one doesn’t work very well anymore. Instead I’m going to call the local heating/cooling people to come out & give me a quote for a small split system for in there & to check out whether or not my old split system in the lounge needs upgrading or not. I want some information & things in place before the coming summer season hits.
Hope everyone has a fabulous #Friday stay nice & warm out there 🌻. #Weather #HouseSit #PetSit #Thinking #Planning

Happy #ThrowBackThursday !

My images & poem "Monsoon". Three photos with poetry describing the seasonal summer Monsoon here in #Tucson Arizona USA. Here are the words to my poem named Monsoon. "Blinding sunshine. Billowing clouds. A flash in the distance. Silence. Another flash. Another & another light the sky, Like giant torches flickering in the night. A hush over the land Changes to a whisper Blowing in the breeze, growing & Graduating into wind. The wind swirls the trees & dust. Flashes grow brighter. The rumbles swallow the land. Portending the coming attraction." ©2000 Carl R. Englander

Weather forecast for today is completely insane.

It's now 23° in the morning.
It's expected to reach 36° in 6 hours.
Then down to 22° 8 hours later (storm coming in).
And then 17° tomorrow morning.

I don't live in a desert. I live on the coast in Northern Europe. +13° rise in 6 hours followed by -19° drop in 12 hours is like nothing I ever heard of.

We need the rain here in Sandy, and the partial rainbow was a nice touch. #SandyUT #weather #WasatchFront

The mountains seen from the front of our house. This was after quite a nice rainstorm, and a partial rainbow is visible at the left just above the mountains.

Scotland has enjoyed some dry and, for us, hot weather, with temps in the mid to high twenties. But the media habit of constantly referring to a UK heatwave when we’ve had wind and intermittent rain for the past week or so has irritated me. As usual, the UK doesn’t seem to extend to Scotland. So this morning, when the Guardian ran a piece asking how readers are being affected by the heatwave, I submitted a response saying “Hardly at all”.

The special #weather statement warning regarding possible heavy rains (100mm !) is still up, but the radar looks like the threat is somewhat diminished at this point.

A big system - Boston, NYC, Washington are all getting more of this than we are, I suspect.

phew, I was worried we'd have to go 24 hours without a severe storm with torrential rain, large hail, and damaging winds.

The forecast for Sappington, MO

You can literally feel the air outside. It's thick and wet. It's going to get a few degrees hotter by mid afternoon. It's fucking miserable right now. We have the AC turned up to 78°F to conserve a little power while we're gone but all the fans are on moving air for pets so we're probably not saving much electricity.

It's currently 95°F/35°C with a feels like with humidity temperature of 117°F/47°C.

Apocalyptic video of forest fires in Spain.

Canada and France are burning too.

It's truly depressing, our politicians are busy helping orange shitler and Netanyahu destroy the world and act like global heating and climate catastrophe is not important enough to put all their energy and resources on.

Over 25000 people evacuated in France, Madrid is dangerously close to be burned and 100s of . millions of trees burned down across the globe.

As if our pollution wasn't enough,we are loosing our valuable trees too.

“The European drought is a compound crisis, driven by prolonged precipitation deficits and extreme heat, with impacts already evident despite the summer only just beginning.

Wildfire activity has also intensified rapidly in western Europe. The drought is placing severe strain on agriculture”

Is It Still Called JFK ?

This is a black and white photo in landscape format of a busy airport taxiway surrounded by fog with a long line of aircraft waiting to takeoff. JFK, New York (2011). One third of the way to the right of the left edge of the photo is a long solid line stretching along the centre of the taxiway and away from the camera. A short distance to the right of the centre line (about ten cm) is a line of lights inset into the tarmac, spaced every few metres. About ten metres to the left and right of the centre line are two parallel solid lines marking the edge of the taxiway, one either side, though the tarmac continues for a distance of another five or ten metres beyond. Further to the right is a wide grass area before a small portion of a parallel runway is in view. Surrounding this scene is a bright, white, morning fog with a visibility of no more than five hundred metres. In front of the camera is a row of five aircraft on the taxiway waiting for their turn to take off. The closest aircraft is about ten metres from the camera, is a Boeing 737 narrow body, shorthaul aircraft with two jet engines slung under the wings and small winglets on the wingtips. Beyond the queue of aircraft is a further larger aircraft, about five hundred metres away, at right angles to the taxiway and is on the runway and starting its takeoff roll, this aircraft is partially obscured by the fog. Above and beyond is filled with a large body of bright, morning fog.
