Default Wow - What a Day

Another sunny day down in the far SW, but with great visibility for a
change. Deep blue sky, deep blue sea. Just got back from St Ives, and
the lighting was amazing.

Might post some pics & figures later if I get around to it.

It is also pretty wow a little way from you, in Dundee.

Another glorious day. The butterflies are flying, the bumblebees
bumbling, the flies flying, the partridges running, and the pheasants -
well, they're just being as stupid as usual. It is also 18.0C at the
moment (still going up), making it the first day this year over 60F/15C
(whichever you find more interesting; personally, I prefer 60F, but
then I'm old) - a few days earlier than my average of 8 April. It has
also already reached my top ten warmest April days ever (where "ever"
is defined as after 1996).

Trevor,

I've just been looking at your extreme weather pages. Some interesting
stuff, must have taken a while to put together.

I thought you might be interested in www.easterling.freeserve.co.uk/PzStorm.PDF

Certainly the easily the biggest weather event of the century (so
far!) in this part of the world.

A labour of love, or of madness. With a lot of help from our Philip.

Your photograph of Mousehole is particularly good. I have been there; I
know it's a bit off-topic, but I went there because I remember reading
the last native speaker of Cornish lived there. Which, in retrospect,
was a somewhat odd thing to do (for me, not her).

I assume the sea hasn't actually changed depth, though (excluding
tides).

Just got back from St Ives, and
the lighting was amazing.


It nearly always is - hence the artists...

Yeah, stupid pheasants. Came home from work and wandered down the garden
to feed the fish. Much commotion from the greenhouse, I retreated
thinking it was the usual blue tit or what ever in there, no, a stupid
pheasant. Which proceeded to batter its way out. Through the roof.
Two panels of glass now in shards. I should think it'll have a bit a
sore head, and may well bleed to death somewhere in the woods now.
Did I say stupid pheasants?

Ob USW : At long last the cold northerlies have faded, max 19.2C today
vs 7.8C max yesterday. Looking good for the Easter W/E too!

And a bit further north too, in Moray. We climbed to 6000 feet
in blue wave this afternoon, giving us a view of the country
from Mount Keen to Assynt, and from the North Sea to An Teallach
and Ben Nevis. Visibility was superb, apart from dozens of
plumes of smoke where heather was being burned. Too warm inside
the glider, but not so warm on the ground where there was a cool
westerly breeze with a good deal of north in it.

Muirburn should stop after 15th April below 1500 feet and 30th
April above
1500 feet.

Thanks, I knew about the 15th but didn't realise it was
different higher up.

I would have enjoyed the view!

The lighting? I'm surprised you can even see it with all that
sunshine.

It certainly was Graham! I should have popped round to see you, but we
certainly picked a perfect time for a holiday. Very cold at night
though!
