h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

...especially in Co. Antrim, and especially in the evenings. That's the weather forecast for the entire weekend. Figures, really - we're putting on three evening performances of "Under the Greenwood Tree" in Belvoir Forest this weekend. Sigh. At least I'm only a musician, so I can deliver the fanfares from the relative safety of a cloak.

It'll be fun, though - all the best scenes from Shakespeare, each in a different clearing.

The standing will be the hard part. We had a ceilidh for the end of the set dancing class yesterday. I survived 3 1/2 hours of dancing with no incident, but was simply walking across the dance floor when I fell flat on my face and bruised both my knees.

Oh dear, poor knees!

If it stays dry I might pop along....

Oh, I hope it stays dry! Hope your knees are better, too.

Ouch!

I recommend umbrella hats, especially with Shakespeare.

We are hoping for some rain this afternoon, as it is currently about 34 degrees and very humid.

I would love some of that rain, here, too. We've had nearly a week of 36°C, but dry as a bone. It was almost dusty one day.

I hope it dries up a bit for your performances, Mala! I'll try to attract the rain's attention and divert it my way.

If it makes you feel any better take a look at the radar over the Gulf of Mexico! We have a Tropical Storm trying to form, If it succeeds she will be named "Debbie".

Went through a few patches on my drive home where I could barley see the back of the vehicle a hundred meters if front of me! Rain is pouring outside as I type.

Good luck with your shows!

Got rained out - we had to do the whole thing indoors. Sunday looks like the one night it'll be nice enough out.

*blows rain in direction of people needing it*

Hey stop that. We're getting it all

Yeah, we've got plenty - as usual around misummer's eve

*blows on knees*

Lovely downpour here this morning. The came in and shouted about it

Keep your rain,please!

Finally there has been à couple of nice, warm and sunny days here in the Icy North. It might as well stay that à little longer.

Does that mean it will turn to the melted and wet North?

Appearently there are open waters where there used to be ice.

Are they known as oceans?

That was meant to be

More likely to save my life
