Why does writing muse suddenly decide to show up when I'm both too physically and mentally tired? Not cool. B*gger off. Come back when I'm more awake and alert, and have a greater capability to think.

I'm just watching a live stream from BZPower, building The Hobbit lego sets and I was thinking about you all.

Always when I'm not planning on going out anywhere do I have a great hair day. :closedeyes:

This year’s April was the warmest in Germany since records began being kept in the late 19th century. So was this year’s May. We need warmth records like a hole in the head.

If someone is frustrated with me, whatever, don't care, but they need to keep those thoughts to themselves and not mumble them out loud where I can hear them, cause all they're doing is pissing me off. >:(

Is the equivalent of blackout-curtains (necessary in both Great Britain and Germany for much of the first half of the 1940s) still to be bought here in Germany? My need is the opposite if that during WW II: I need to keep light OUT of my bedroom …

Been diving into researching my family tree and discovered that I'm a descendant of Henry II King of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine! An utterly shocking find.

We seriously need precipitation. Northern Bavaria is on the southern edge of Germany’s serious drought region (some areas of southern Bavaria bordering on Austria may have had somewhat above-average precipitation). Areas north of us bordering on Berlin have had precipitation bordering on Sahara drought. Meaning that some harvests of wheat, rye, oats and whatnot (and also maize, aka corn in ignorant parts of the world) are probably going to severely below average harvests, possibly reaching half a billion of Euros in losses … :-o

I have a co-worker who's name sounds too similar to Daenerys. :lol: I've nearly called her that several times.

Except for the (all too) short interlude of rain between day before yesterday afternoon and yesterday morning, cloud cover has been pretty scarce 24/7. Meaning that night temps locally have gone down to around 10°C (50°F) minimum, while day temps have often headed for 30°C (86°F), occasionally more, maximum. So keeping the windows in some rooms tilted open during the night helps us to evacuate any heat accumulated in our apartment during the day (which we can reduce by diverse means of shading). But I'm also guessing that we (being in the south of Germany) have also been spared determined south wind weather situations which occasionally drive Saharan air masses our way, including a non-tivial dusting of Saharan sand - rare, but uniformly not amusing. We can certainly do without that, otherwise apartment temperatures definitely reach levels detrimental to sleep - something sub-optimal for both of us under "normal" conditions here.

reading a bit and skipping over most of Gandolorin's all too frequent weather reports for his patch of ground. :lol:

Hoping Hanasian does not have weather issues (California once again has forest fires, and the south of Japan appears to be getting drowned currently ...)

Bosses texts at 6:30am; "want to cover a shift this morning?" No, not really, but whatever, I needed the money.

:lol: Not raining for a few weeks isn't really a "weather problem" here, there, or anywhere really. Just a little detail of everyday life.

It looks like we're going to have another serious forest fire season here in British Columbia.

Forest fire warnings are at maximum, especially with the weekend approaching (and monomaniacal grilling freaks, the currently most dangerous ignoramuses in the country, thinking that this North African weather is - as it is definitely not!!! - normal in Germany!) *groan*

Forest fire danger alerts are straining at the official maximum. What I do not remember from previous years (might be memory failure, but I believe not) is that the field-fire warnings have also hit maximum. Everything appears to be totally parched ... meh! :-(
