Well anyone needing water we have plenty, my water barrels are overflowing, the gutters in the streets are spewing there loads out due to excessive rain, just watching a lovely electrical storm whilst my dogs bark crazily at the thunder!!

I know, and guess what, i took a roof off on Monday, replaced all the timbers and refelted it.........but the roofer slipped off the roof and we havent found a replacement to tile it, i would do it but they are a specialised tile we are using!!!

Regional health authority had issued a heat warning for my area. Several city managed outdoor summer programs for young children have been cancelled.

We were watching a couple of schools programmes on BBC2 one about sustainable living, and the other about climate and the seasons.
The two programmes were excellent documentaries.
But, why oh why put on schools programmes at 4.00 am to 6.00 am?
The content of each programme was far more interesting than the prime time reality rubbish we are inundated with.
Sorry about the off topic rant there.

Let's expand on my last post, now I've time 
The second programme we watched is called "Orbit: Earths extraordinary journey". It consists of short weather etc related stories. For example at Yellowknife, N America's coldest settlement, a cup of seeming coffee was thrown to the wind, and the vapour froze instantly. There is Discussion about the conditions for the start of an ice age. It's a programme well worth watching.
This is the blurb for the programme......
Right now you're hurtling around the sun at 64,000 miles an hour (100,000 kms an hour). In the next year you'll travel 584 million miles, to end up back where you started.
Presenters Kate Humble and Dr Helen Czerski follow the Earth's voyage around the sun for one complete orbit, to witness the astonishing consequences this journey has for us all.
They see how the planet's tilt is the result of a a huge cosmic collision, and how this tilt gives us the single largest weather event on Earth - the monsoon. Helen tries to put herself in the path of a hurricane, a giant rotating storm that only exists because the planet spins. They also discover that small changes in the planet's movement can give us ice ages. It has happened many times in the past, and it is going to happen again.
