bad forecasting:
Posted Jul 2, 2009
Just a quick moan: The weather station in Bristol is in Filton. This is where I am.
As of right now (14:10) the weather forecast says that at 13:00hrs, we should have been experiencing heavy showers, carrying on through 15:00hrs.
I've not felt so much as a spot of rain, and it's only just become a little bit overcast, the blue skies were still very visible at around 13:40!
So whoever is on duty isn't checking out the window!!!

A strange day...
Posted Jun 9, 2009
Mum's birthday so, I take the day off, meet up with mum and we decide to go and see some springs and wells out in the cotswolds.
Anyway, while wandering, our footpath crosses a field full of Highland ponies of varying ages and colours. Gorgeous though, a pair of Mouse duns who look like twins (yearlings i think) but there's every solid colour and some beautiful dappled greys, too... From a butterscotch-and-cream coloured foal to a black mare, a blue roan and a true dun with zebra stripes at the top of the darker markings on her legs,
Anyway, I was admiring these ponies, taking some pictures and watching them interacting, trying to figure out who's who etc. when I spot a couple of dogs...
And a small woman with grey hair...
And across she comes and we offer each other a good afternoon and she asks if i'm enjoying the ponies and I say i am and ask if they are, indeed Highlands. Oh yes, apparently they are famous pedigree ponies, serviced by the Queen's Highland stallions. She told me the background of the owners (the lady of the area died after treating her farm manager and his wife like slaves all her life and left a 200acre estate, properties and the highland herd to them in her will...)
Anyway, this was all lovely, we chatted for a bit longer and wished each other a lovely day.
And as she was walking away, all I was thinking over and over and over again was *THAT WAS JILLY COOPER OR I'M AN ILLITERATE TROGLODYTE!*
I still cant quite figure it out in my head. Firstly, why do I care, and secondly. OH MY GOD! Jilly Cooper and I just had an intelligent chat about Highland ponies and I managed to not be a complete idiot! I'm not normally the star-struck type, but I think the sheer randomness of me being in that field when she was walking across it is freaking me out! It's not like I live that close by!

Life does have it's ups and downs, doesn't it?
Is there some sort of mathematical formula for the inverse proportions of decent breaks to the quality and pleasantness of a person?
Cos it seems like there should be.
Not that being able to calculate it would solve it, but it'd be nice to measure it.

WEATHER!
Posted Apr 15, 2009
Hailstones, rain, misty, hazy days...
I really enjoyed our warm lovely spring, but was worried it was a touch on the dry side... 
and now we've got thunder and hail! YAY!
The growing things will be happy
