[Crepuscular Ray]

Two people have called me Shirley tonight. I will forgive you both if you accept this flower on behalf of the Church of Religious Consciousness (and agree not to park in the red zone)AS

No, no, no, no, no, no, no:The red zone is for immediate loading and unloading of passengers only. There is no stopping in the white zone.

 

No obvious signs of fog here yet, although I doubt it will stay that way for long.

Just went outside to sort the bins out for tomorrow. It's so still outside. There is not even the smallest leaf moving. Just thought I would share that. Goodnight guys I'm off, until tomorrow.

Hi Leigh, this is what I keep trying to encapsulate and you've just done it - small, normal things that we do can stop us in our tracks. Thanks.

[Mark Neal.]

Even with a change of unsettled conditions over weekend. All outlooks point to mild if not warm SE/Southerly winds. :-)

Good fun on here tonight. Nearly October so I thought I'd post this beautiful Dylan Thomas poem:

I love the 'weather turned around', all of us who love weather can recognise that, and that he is moving through the physical landscape and moving through the ageing process and thinking about his growing older (only 30 - imagine that, years ago!) and is happy that day, but still hoping that he will be around the same time next year, and still remembering, as a child, holding hands with his mother.  And a 'heron priested shore' makes me see that bird, on the nether land between sea and land.  It's great stuff as far as I'm concerned.

hi as

 

lovely words

 

i like going to the park in autumn just to sit there for a while especially

 

when the trees have gone that orangey autumn colour.

 

think of all the good things from the past and hope the future will be kind

 

keep on doing that, for a healthy state of mind

[john pike]

still waiting

 

and my kettle has stopped working

 

aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

 

no coffee

[abruzzi spur]

nicely said John, the changing seasons have so much more significance to me these days.  Have you read The Old Ways by Robert Macfarlane?  I think you, and all on here, would love it.

[john pike]

think i will do the weekend via ecm for now

 

saturday

 

 

a breezy south east flow

 

uppers should see temps around 22-25 degrees

 

rainfall

 

dry to lunchtime

 

then

 

some storms en-route from the south west

 

could see some pretty heavy rain here

 

 

sunday

 

 

 

looks similar to saturday

 

but shower risk looks lower

 

watch to our south as a chance we may sneak some storms from france

 

temps 22-25 again

 

 

will update the fax charts if they are not too late

[john pike]

hi jan

 

how are you tonight

[Captain Shortwave]

Still nice and warm by the looks of it this weekend, though the BBC forecast was very disappointing, just 17C for both days as a max in this region.

mind you i do not watch the tv forecasts anymore

[john pike]

sorry guys

 

the late fax charts have not updated tonight

 

will have to do the update tomorrow night now

 

i will leave you with this

 

i know someone who dislikes this weather more than a coldie

 

the power companies

 

goodnight all

[Steve C]

Morning all

 

After yesterday's hazy sun (actually towards the end of the day, bright rather than hazy sun, would be a more apt description) we are now back in to the cloud.

 

To be honest, I'm getting bored with this. Okay, it's mild with no thoughts of heating going on, but with the very little sunshine I'm getting here, I feel a change of weather type is needed. The local BBC weather forecast has just shown mostly cloudy until the weekend.

[stainesbloke]

Morning, it's a foggy start to the day (not as dense as yesterday tho) here, little wind and currently a mild 14C. Happy hump day! I'm off to Pontins in Somerset for a 2 day break...hopefully nothing will get broken lol. Selecting my best leisure suit and making sure I have enough change for the electricity meter there (yes, really!)

[Coast]

 

Morning! 

 

Visibility down to 100M on most Sussex roads, with some around Mid-Sussex down to as little as 25M. Just go careful out there and take a bit more time to get where you are going and arrive alive  

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning

No fog issues here, just broken cloud and some blue sky so might even get some sunshine today

We live in hope 

[Coast]

We live in hope 

 

I thought you lived in the triangle? 

 

Fog should slowly clear but it may not be as bright a day as yesterday for some:

 

 

[Coast]

so might even get some sunshine today

 

 

Doubtful, Carol Kirkwood has you down for a bit of a chilly one today:
