I thought that with the change in the weather ushered in by the
present phase (from the 6th August 2009 to tomorrow the 13th) there
would have been a severe earthquake. But of course I have no internet
and never got around to finding alternative sources.

But then I realised that the weather should not have changed for the
better. (It had been raining the week before.) With a normal Atlantic
oscillawhatsit, the time of this phase should have obliged us with wet
weather. And of course the weather was sunny as far as I was
concerned.

It did try and rain today and has rained in the middle of the spell.
Nothing too serious. Still palpably humid though and that thread of
unpleasantness that has run through the whole year, AFAICR, persisted.

The following phase is another wet spell. So a synergy is involved. I
don't know if there are any severe tropicals still running anywhere
but if the storms are there and they fade, they will be replaced by
matching sons of bitches in different oceans. Either that or they will
rebuild and follow different tracks. Or should I say change direction.

I don't know how the situation has been in the USA but I have had
severe leg cramps for as long as I can recall and they have only just
abated or lessened. I now have cricks in my shoulders -a relief of
sorts I suppose. Getting up three and more times in the middle of the
night was becoming rather too to.

But I suppose what doesn't kill me makes me upset, tired and if I
don't catch them straight away, lame. I gave up my other tablets as
one of their side effects was leg cramps.

And I thought I did not need them in any case.

I now have a knee ache that is pretty near constant. When this spell
breaks I shall try to remember where the survivors of the inevitable
live so I can let them know next time my unasked for, unpaid for and
unwanted alarm tells me about it.

This is the unrequited spell:
6th August 2009 @ 00:55
And these are the follow up:
13th August @ 18:55 and 20th August @ 10:01

As you can see, the timing of the next one is identical -on the
Weatherlawyer code, being exactly 6 hours different. And the following
one is a volcanic one in the ordinary state of affairs. But then what
is ordinary when a series of such like phases as are rated “volcanic”
institute a long standing negative vibe?
