It is cold though isn't it?




It is ...cold.


As my daughter would say..."It's like frezing here Dad."


My family is away for 5 days so I'm batching...

SDull start from 6:30 in the morning with slately skies. It became sunnier on later on in the morning and the clouds became scattered. The temperature now is 24°C and the wind speeds are 8 mph E. The UV index is high and a 7 level. The pollen count is high which explains my running eyes and constant sneezing from early this morning.

(I have put sunblock on and I am wearing sunglasses.)

We had a great day here yesterday, just like the summer days we used to have years ago
Today, it was not as sunny, but still warm, which is a novelty here in Fife
Smudger.

It's raining here. Yayyyy!

So it's now too wet for me to work, so it's a day spent indoors with no family to bother me....Now what will I do I wonder?

It's a beautiful, bright, sunny day here at St Paul's. There's hardly a cloud in the sky. It's a lovely calm day. And the current temperature is around 26c. Bootiful!

Clear skies from 6:30 in the morning but it do not stay clear long as clouds started to build up. Winds are quite blustery with a partly clouded sky. The temperature now is 25°C and the wind speeds are 10 mph ESE. The UV index is high and a 7 level. The pollen count is high today.

It's been a nice summers day here again in South Yorkshire, got very muggy about 7 this evening I was half expecting a bit of a storm or at least some rain, but no hope it holds for the weekend, but thats a bit of a laugh in this country.

Still raining here, it's great I hope it just keeps going and going for another month at least but they say it'll be gone tomorrow

Nara Japan 2 am It's hot well above 30c

wonders what kind of temp Jim's into

Nara Japan 1:55 pm well just went for a short walk and it is hot 38 c out there , this is only the first week of summer three more months to go before we get a bit of cool

Don't be such a wimp Anold, 38c sounds just right. That's proper temperature.
It's getting that way that I can't even put up with the month that passes as winter here such is my dislike for the cold and if I can twist my wife's arm gently enough I might yet convince her to move even further north where there is no winter and that would be bliss

Listen ear keith I can be a wimp if I want to , just hope tomorrow will be nice ,we are going to visit our friends in Kyoto cause there is a big firework display down at the river by their house,might even carry my camera also they have two rather nice looking daughters one of which spent a year down your way learning english two years ago n tother one spent a year in england back about five years ago

Crikey Anold, she probably wouldn't learn English down here according to some on this site
