Pretty dreadful weather, with intermittent rain and a stiff breeze. Although temperatures in London are set to top 26C / 79F today, out here in the sticks it's 12C / 54F with little prospect for improvement. I can reveal that later on in the week, temperatures will take a tumble, with northwesterly winds bringing in cold air from the north.
The weatherstation at Eoropie, 25 miles from here, has broken down. This is apparently the 4th unit that the operators have gone through in 5 years. It seems that the salt, carried from the sea less than a mile away, is the problem for the machinery.
A remembrance ceremony was held in Shetland this morning for the victims of the Bourbon Dolphin tragedy on Thursday. Relatives of the victims will be flown over the site of the incident later today. It took only 5 minutes for the boat to capsize. Read more here.

Yes, Guido, it is very warm here and all the leaves on the trees are now bursting into life with the heat. So sad about the Bourbon Dolphin, one of them was only fifteen so I read. God rest their souls and comfort their relatives
ReplyDeleteYes we have lovely sunshine, all the car tops are down and the shorts and summer tops are in view. We have a mother blackbird feeding her young and everything that should be is in bloom. Sounds too good to last :-)

Well Guido! I am making the most of this summer-like weather; seeing as you say there are changes on the way. Sorry you are still having to wear your winter woolies. It is really idyllic here in the Lakes. The strange thing about this heatwave? Nature hasn't told the bees etc. I have yet to see one. A good thing if there is to be a change though. Pulll your jacket collar up and stay warm... Lol! Jeanie
