So I do need to dig out the thermals for Saturday's bus-conducting job, then, John? Routemasters are pretty, but it's damn cold standing guard on the platform.

[HammerJack]

Last one from me before I climb the wooden hill to bed.... Very calm and clear outside. But looking at the lamp posts there seems to be a mist forming.

Night all

hi cr

 

a difficult call at present re saturday

 

the uppers are certainly cold but if we can avoid cloudcover

 

the sun should keep the temps around 12-13 degrees

 

if we keep cloud these could be a few degrees lower

 

will be able to be more accurate tomorrow

My name is not John but my Dad's name is John It will be a cold start to the day wrap up warm. You will need some layers. Temperature peaks at 12c which is not warm. We have just had a blackout which has effected the whole neighbourhood even lasted for 2m, not normal for Central London.

[Keraunic]

Very calm and still here and could be a mist forming. Thanks for updates, John.

Have a good and peaceful night, folks.

[Charltonkerry]

Good morning everyone, one word describes the weather today and that is foggy, nothing more to say as I can't see very far.

I don't normally talk about football on here for obvious reasons, its a weather site, but yesterday I witness the high and lows, directly opposite where I sit, we unfortunately witness something that has changed my opinion of people in general, some poor man had a serious heart attack, you could tell he was in a very poor way, by the reactions of the people around him. This hero of a steward who went to a game of football to help control the crowd and have a laugh with the crowd, suddenly had a man laying on the floor whose heart had stopped, without thought, all his training leapt into action and he commenced CPR, apparently 3 times he got this poor blokes heart working after it stopped, the whole team of St. John's, stewards etc where wonderful, but you sir, whoever you where, you where magnificent, you went to control the crowd and you ended up saving a life, not a bad nights work. The crowd was muted as this drama unfolded, and the ambulance crew arrived, they worked on the poor bloke for a further 20 minutes before taking him to hospital, where his condition was given as serious. I wish you luck and thank the steward for his great professionalism. The result of the game was an irrelevance.

Also during the same game I become an uncle for the 5th and 6th time to identical twin girls, total combined weight of 10lb 5ozs, if they take after their mothers they will be the most beautiful girls in the world, if they take after their father, then well how can you put it, I know, they will have a nice personality, I wish you both great joy, and enjoy this wonderful world, and your wonderful birth place of Jersey.

Bit off topic for which I apologise, but it's still foggy out, have a great day.

Thanks bb, still seems to be good news on the gent who received CPR, it was an emotional day yesterday, and yes things do seem to happen to me and my family, they always have, reminds me of that old saying "I never had a car accident, but I seen a lot". I do sometimes think that at my age, I would like a quieter life, but what could I write about on here :-)

Morning all. I don't post much on here just lately but have just read CK's post and felt I had to respond.

 

Congratulations to all concerned Kerry. To the steward who hopefully has saved a life, to you as an Uncle yet again and of course to the newborn twins and their undoubtably proud parents. Never a dull moment in your life is there !!

 

Weatherwise it's been a case of close but no cigar in my neck of the woods in the last few days. Plenty of convective activity and a few thunderstorms but unfortunately they were all out of my reach, being to the south and west of me here in North West London. It's been a lively month in that respect though so hopefully more to follow in the summer.

 

Take care and be lucky folks.

[Captain Shortwave]

Morning all, foggy start here.

That is quite a story Kerry, definitely one to warm the hearts and give some faith in man kind

[snow raven]

Morning all,

 

Left Barnehurst this morning in fog, got off the train at Waterloo East to warm bright sunshine.  Just a shame I am chained to my desk at work!

 

Have a good day

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. Bit murky and muggy in Ippy this morning but with that sweet, fresh scent in the air.

Great story, CK. I hope that mans efforts weren't in vain. And congrats' on the twins.

Have a good day, everyone.

[Reefseeker]

Same experience as Snow Raven this morning, got up to murk and definite pea soup over the Thames at Kingston, by the time we drove through Heathrow the sun was out, and now my office is warming up a little too much from the direct sunlight but there is that slightly hazy look hovering over the trees outside. Lovely. Also lovely was CK's story:)

Morning all...

Cloudy and misty start to the day. But now the sun has got its hat on. Hip hip hip hooray....

Good day all

[MP-R]

After missing all the action yesterday with a largely sunny afternoon, today is off to a flying start with sunshine once again. Was very foggy when I got up at 7 this morning but that all burned off pretty quickly. Feeling almost summerlike.

[Charltonkerry]

Just a quick update on my previous post, the hero who preformed the immediate CPR was a fireman who was sitting two rows behind the victim, he was replaced by the medical team within minutes of the heart attacked occurring, and it appears that the victim is recovering well in hospital, without the fireman's immediate and prompt response then the outcome would have been different. The fireman is such a modest individual who is embarrassed by the number of posts congratulating him, he reckon's he was just doing his job. So nice that there are these sorts of people about, especially when you think its those first few seconds / minutes that is the difference between life and death.

Nice and sunny in horrible Harlow, have a good afternoon.

Edit

Unbelievably this was the second time in 6 months this has occurred at Charlton, the time before the man collapsed in the toilet and 2 fireman revived him along with the medical staff. Think if you going to have a heart attack, a football ground seems the place to do it.

Nieces names are Lillian and a Poppy.

Shower clouds appear to be building now, in dirty Dartford, I get around don't i.

Heavy shower here!

[Jax]

Afternoon all

 

Sunny and dry here after a cool misty start, and not much in the way of a breeze so feeling quite pleasant in the sunshine.

 

Glad to hear all appears to have turned out well CK and nice news on the twins

 

Hope you all have a fabbo day

[Neilsouth]

Thunderstorm towards Maidstone

[Keraunic]

Just got back from town. It's so warm and muggy here and some BIG clouds building up. It definitely looks promising.

[k66yla]

Massive downpour here....its been going on for about 20 minutes and the garden has turned into a paddling pool(again). No sign of any storm though.

Well, I'm now off to West Malling from London.... And I was so enjoying the sun. :-(
