More Rain Predicted

The last week has been a miserable procession of rainy days. Not those romantic downpours so beloved of Tina Turner, its those claggy dull grey squalls that we British like to call weather. But now I think about it, what happened to August? We hardly had any sunshine at all, and the indian summer we sometimes get in September looks like being a washout.

 

Its hardly Global Warming is it? But then it occurs to me that since we get most of our weather second-hand from America, and that they get full on hurricanes, I can hardly complain if I get a little damp. At least I have a roof on my home.

 

Roof of the Week

This accolade goes to the school around the corner from where I live. It looks as if they decided to re-tile the whole building. Its an old building of course, a christian school next door to a church. On this occaision though they didn't just rip off the tiles and have tea-breaks, they built a huge scaffold over the top of the building and draped plastic sheeting over it.

 

Can't think why.

To keep the damp out? Or to keep on-lookers from peeking in and noticing that they're just pulling a few tiles and then stopping for tea?

 

We get our weather second-hand from either Canada or Mexico...sometimes straight from South Pacific. It's all second-hand weather, really. Never really created from a single local. Nothing you can be proud of and call your own. How sad.

Well now you come to mention it, they have placed a tin roof over it and it is rather discrete in there.... and I haven't seen anyone working... Business as usual?

 

Oh no... You mean... I can't blame America for the weather? But surely the CIA has weather-inducing satellites that are making my life a misery? Please don't crush my happy little world by saying it isn't so.... I so want a conspiracy that can't be utterly destroyed by reasonable and rational argument...

 

Oh lets just blame the Chinese. They keep firing crystals into clouds.

Cool. Can't wait to hear it. Especially if it has something to do with trained animals. Those cows keep looking at me as I walk past. They're up to something you know...
