Empty Blue Skies

· ·

If you're currently in the south of England, sitting in front of your computer, reading this then step away from the keyboard and go outside and enjoy the lovely clear blue skies. Thanks to volcanic ash and some gorgeous weather, we're currently experiencing the emptiest skies you're ever likely to see over the UK. No clouds. No contrails. Just crystal …

Snowing Bubbles

· ·

I've just got home after driving home from work in probably the heaviest snow fall I've ever seen. It was very pretty and looked like it was snowing clumps of bubbles, like those that spew out of a bubble machine at a foam party. Sadly, it was super slippy too, so uber concentration was needed. Won't be going anywhere in …

This Snow is Unbelievable

· ·

This Snow is UnbelievableThe snow in the south of the UK is really unbelievable today. I've not seen anything like it in all my time in the UK. It started snowing at about 12:30 in Reading and hasn't stopped since and it's all settling. By the size of the build up on the balcony rails, I'd say we've had at least 3 inches …

Bring Me Some Cold

· ·

I never thought I'd say this again (after coming back to the UK from working in Madrid), but please please please send us some cooler weather. It's been stinking hot and humid over the last week both during the day and at night and now I'm really really tired. I need some ZZZZZZZZZs.

Simon Gear Gets Pranked

· ·

First some background: my cousin, Simon Gear, is a weather man for the SABC back in South Africa (he does other media related stuff like talkshows etc too). 94.7 Highveld Stereo is a radio station in Jo'burg on which a guy called Darren Simpson, aka Whackhead, regularly pranks people.

I've just been catching up on my Highveld podcasts and have just…

First Snow

· ·

First SnowIt was only yesterday I was commenting on how winter has arrived already. Well, I can confirm it most definitely has. It snowed last night. It's certainly not the thickest snow I've seen in the UK, but certainly think it's the first time it's snowed in October since I've lived in the UK.

Here are a few pics I took last…

No Sense, No Feeling

· ·

I don't understand some people. I've just popped out to get some lunch and it's sweltering out there (about 25oC), yet there are still loads of people wearing jumpers and Ugg boots. They must be sweating their [fill in body part here] off.
