What bemused you today?

[Hinfrance]

That'll be because of the exceptionally dry winter you've just had, which is, of course, a result of global warming, and nothing to do with the lousy, badly managed infrastructure at all.

Up until the end of February the ground was very muddy and resulted in hundreds of Molehills appearing, as they cleaned out their flooded tunnels.

After three years of rotten spring/summers we are getting some nice warm weather. And we know it must be good because North West Utilities has just applied for a hosepipe ban, and is seeking permission to use waters from the lake district. 

Always makes me smile this one - a water shortage in the north west, like where the Lake District is

If I remember Geography O-level correctly most of the drinking water in the Lake District gets piped to Manchester....

[skellum]

Correct, Thirlmere was built for that purpose.
When I was there early this week all the streams and rivers were very low so no point in any waterfall shots....

Trying to get the back garden ready for a birthday party tomorrow (granma's 80th). The forecast was cloudy until around 5 pm with a chance of isolated 'showers'. It's coming on noon here and been pouring rain since 10 am.

And it continued to pour rain until about 4 pm. $^&^((*%$$$ forcasters.

I know us oldies get a little muddled now and again

Taken from a report by Saga on the retirement age being compulsory.

Most commonly, people said they wanted to work past retirement age to earn money - 61% - followed by 59% who wanted to keep their mind active, while 50% said it was for enjoyment.

Isn't that 150% I KNOW I know, it's 50% of those asked. That last 50% must already be in their dotage  . Retirement is to be highly recommended. I've suffered it for 11 years and I'm still not fed up with it.

[Hinfrance]

Isn't that 150%

Try again . . .

Local weather forecast says it's 86 F outside, but I've just come in off my back deck where my wall mounted thermometer has the temp. closer to 100 F. I knew it was a heat trap but wow.

Nothing new. Our local forecast has told us it's cloudy this morning, but if she turned round and looked out of the window, which is in the background, it was a clear blue sky like that by us.

Blimey I'm off to Norfolk for a few days on Monday. The last sentence worries me

[picsfor]

No need to worry Alan. All the waves are diverted into the Fens in Cambridgeshire so you'll be OK in Norfolk.

That said, as a person from Suffolk, i would be concerned about how much the folk from Norfolk have evolved since the last wave that came in

As a Norwich boy living in Suffolk I still get a lot of questions about weather or not I have webbed feet, think its jealousy as the only good thing to come out of Ipswich is the A140 (road to Norwich).

I dunno if bemused is the right word, it's been record heat here for last 4 or 5 days. I been out in my garden to water my plants, twice a day. I've sadly, watched the petals dropping off my flowers in increasing numbers. It's raining right now, but the rain feels like warm shower not sure it'll help.
