Upcoming weather

[Ely]

Climate change will soon happen with a nice big volcanic eruption spreading millions of tons of ash and carbon dioxide into our atmosphere and what a waste of time and effort all our wind turbines, bio fuels, low emission vehicles and solar power will be.
We have lived on this planet as long as a blink of an eye, catastrophic events have happened before and will happen again and there are no two doubts about it nature will rule supreme
Climate change is an on going natural occurrences of our planet which is constantly moving in and out of an ice age and sun spots/ flares also has a big influence
Scientists think they have discovered something that has always been there, the bible and other ancient writings all document climate change, a case of wasted funding and human resources trying to prove an all ready proven theory

I totally agree. Humans and their egos remind me of my dog when the postman comes. Why do they always think it is about them?

Sometimes I feel sorry for scientists. They have to work hard for a long time to get enough data to be statistically significant and then get that data into a peer reviewed journal. Once in the journal they have to weather the storm of other scientists trying to find anything wrong with what they have submitted for all to see. That has happened to study after study which added up slowly over the years until the vast majority of scientists from around the world are convinced by the evidence

THAT......is exactly as it should be.

Pretty much the same here, never travel in aeroplanes/ships/helecopters, ever, never go on holiday, rarely travel outside of about a 30 mile radius of home, rear and grow much of what we eat, use sustainable fuel for heating etc.
Warm dry and sunny today, with snow up on the hills, that makes a change.

I agree: the way statins are being pushed to the enth degree, abetted by the government and puppy dog NHS. WHEN THE JOB OF THE STATIN IS TO POISON THE LIVER to prevent it doing it's designed job .
I prefer to pickle my liver

Have your porridge oats just before retiring instead of in the morning and it will mop up the cholesterol your liver makes at night when there is nothing else for it to do

Mine's probably flat out processing the home brew .... But I still like the idea of porridge at bedtime ... or was it oats ?

not intending on retiring until I'm sixty five - so when exactly should I eat it?

At sixty six...all at once..to make up for years of neglect....

Just eat what you fancy . I retired at 65 , due to be 76 in August .

On telling my other half that I'd been advised to stop eating a b or c and stop my passion for a drop of scotch I'd either have a stroke or heart attack in the next 10 years! She responded by saying " how long do want to live " in a sarcastic way of course

sprinkling a little crushed blue diamond tablet on your porridge oats at night, really does improve the oats

that was my thinking... you speaking from experience?

Yes should be Craig it's more the direction of the gusts, my ropes have to be reasonably slack to allow for any rise in the river overnight that makes the boat move around and in this particular spot the fenders need to line up with the pilings and if the boat moves bang as the fenders miss the pilings as the hull hits. More annoying if anything.

Heck of a blow down here tonight ... we were supposed to be travelling to Sheffield, by car, tonight to see my daughter and her family but we've put off travelling till the morning in the hope that it improves.

I've spent some nights moored or anchored in a few gales in a small boat... it's the noise that gets to you, there's always something that rubs or catches or slaps and you pad one out and another starts somewhere else - and your worst enemy is your imaganation 'are we dragging the anchor ?' drives you mad, at least you don't have that to contend with. But you have my sympathy ... hope it quietens down.

Not in that league Phil just a small navigable river /canal just so happens I am in a spot that is catching the strong gusts
Just back in from setting more fenders and I think I have sorted it. The wind is noisy but then that's what you get for living in a steel corridor. The gusts are whipping water up off the canal never seen that before.

I have a friend who lives on a narrow boat ... he's not that far from you - just along from Camden Lock on the Regents Canal ... we brought his boat up from Oxford at the end of last summer ... having seen some of the boats left on the River Thames and their flimsy moorings I wouldn't be surprised if there's boats in the middle of fields when the floods recede !

Strangely one of the worst nights I spent aboard my boat was in the Ouisterham Canal, it was blowing hard, like tonight, but straight on the rear quarter .. I spent most of the night with planks and fenders trying to keep the boat from beating itself to death on the huge steel Dutch barge I'd been made to moor alongside .. couldn't move anywhere else ... best ever cup of coffee in the morning when the wind finally dropped !

It's not dying down much down here at the moment ... trees in my garden and the fences taking a real hammering ...
