Today I gave in and changed the temperature setting on my phone's weather app to Farenheit. Since summer has come back it's now officially too warm for me to be able to relate to Celcius. It's currently 10:30 pm and the weather tells me it's still 72 outside - lovely night's sleep coming up, then. Tomorrow it's claiming it'll go up to 82. This is ( Read more... )

Today it's been raining on and off most of the day. I looked at the weather forecasts for my local area on the BBC and the Met Office - they both denied it would rain until late this evening. Nope, they said, it's just white cloud and sunshine. Sunshine? said I. Where? I checked again later. Nope, still not raining, they said, while I listened to ( Read more... )

It's been foggy all day and all night for the past couple of days, and it's going to continue tomorrow. I keep looking outside for fish.

Outside temp has risen to a balmy -4. Unfortunately inside temp is doing its best to equalize with outside. How long do you think it takes to change 10 valves?

Today it's minus lots of numbers. This is clearly an excellent day to switch off the heating entirely, and drain the heating system to fix the valves.

I'm sure I had some marbles left earlier this year; the cold may have cracked those last few.

My phone is telling me it's -13c at 8am. It's usually pretty accurate but I'm having a hard time believing that.

New app - ljbeetle. Seems to be good so far, letting me pick pics, tags, privacy, etc.

And it's -8C so another v cold night here. Am going to have a warm bath before bed. Another week then time off. Huzzah!

I have deliveries coming to me and also going out to other people. These are Christmas presents, so there's still time for most of them (except for the ones that I need to personally send internationally, which I need last week!). All estimated delivery dates were passed by last Thursday, and most of the tracking is telling me they're not delivered ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here in my warm tracky bums and a jumper, but it's still not enough. The heating is on. It's cold outside, and windy, and raining on and off.

And it's August in England.

When I went to bed last night, the weather told me it was going to be a boring week, cold, overcast, a bit of rain or drizzle. Today it's snowing, and the weather is telling me it'll sleet today (thanks, actually it's snowing), snow tomorrow, snow Weds, snow Thurs, snow Fri. And Thursday and Friday will be heavy snow, probably blizzards ( Read more... )
