Mornin' from a dry, mild, bright and sunny day here in South
Yorkshire. Temperature out there is 10C, feeling more like 7C with the
cooling, gusty, up to 30 mph from the SW. Barometric pressure is now
falling again at 1019.9 mB and RH showing as 63%, Forecast is for it to
cloud over gradually this afternoon until some showers around tea time.
Temperature should peak at 13C, more like 10C in the early afternoon and
then cool to an overnight low of 7C, more like 5C. Have a great day
everyone and keep safe.
Sootie was up and off out around 08:00, before breakfasting. She
returned around 08:45, breakfasted and off out again by 09:00. She's
still out there somewhere now. Tabby had her late supper last night
but, as far as I know hasn't been back today so far.
I paid out for Celica service and MOT (pass) in and my 2 yearly
follow up 'Trans-thoracic electrocardiogram in January, Road Tax and
Celica insurance in February. That all added up to almost £1,000. Pity
the new young drivers who now have pay out around £3,000 or more.
Apparently the scan was OK, so they'll be calling me for my next scan
in 2026. Apart from my annual blood tests in March, that should leave
me clear for the next 10 months. All digits crossed though,
methinks!!
Eldest Mark and family in Perth have been suffering from their heat
wave. He sends me details of temperatures each week. Following
yesterday's peak of 47C (116.6F) they're expecting the rest of the weeks
peaks to be below 42C(107.6F) and maybe as low as 38C (100.4F).
Overnight temperatures have been falling to around 28C (82,4F). Due to
power conditions they are being asked to turn off their air conditioning
to avoid power cuts. They have also had their cars permanently stocked
ready for immediate evacuation due to a plethora of bush fire clusters.
