Haven't seen the sun for nearly a week now. I fear Seasonal Affective Disorder is setting in.

For the best part of the day it has been dry, but this evening we had a huge gigantic titanic massive downpour(if you can call it that!)

It's a warm blustery day, just the kind of weather which is too strong for kites, but since it's so lovely out everyone tries to fly anyway. I see sated kite-eating trees with forlorn plastic shreds hanging from their cruel teeth.

We have had all of three or four typical winter days here this January, that is to say 60F high 40F low. A petunia, which stopped blooming early and which has a creeping habit so I didn't notice it to pull it out last late autumn, has decided that it is perennial, and is setting out some new blooms from the heat. The hybrid is called 'Supertunia', and I am impressed. My pansies are wilting and wondering where's the "air" conditioning.

The end of a bright sunny day, cold but pleasant. The sky is just turning from the palest blue to light grey. Nearly time to close the curtains.

Rained on and off all day and is cold(very cold)

Melbourne, Australia 1100 Sunday

A bit cool. Only 16.5C at the moment so I have had to put a jumper on!! We are expecting it to get to 24C later today.
We are having great weather for the Australian Tennis Open. I was disappointed to see Tim Henman beaten last night, but it was a very exciting match.

Disappointment is all Tim Henman knows. frankly I find him an embarassment. Until tennis stops being a game for posh amateurs in the UK, we'll never have a real champion. John McEnroe was my kind of tennis player. But I digress.......

Another beautiful sunny cold day. Hope we get some snow this week....

Nice to hear from you again Maz

London 11.43am 25 Jan

I saw a chap gritting all around his car with kitty litter last night. Some people are taking the 'ice and snow' warning very seriously indeed.

Glorious sunshine, sky streaked with milky clouds on the horizon, brass monkeys in the shade.

London 11:50 am

Very cold and windy today, but no sign of that promised snow. Does kitty litter work as grit?
