life in the darkness

Good afternoon. This week so far has been extremely hot! It reminds me of Lourdes in 2019. We were under an orange warning there, equivalent to a red warning in the UK. Temperatures exceeded 40 degrees celcius. The heat and humidity was almost unbareable! Today, it’s almost 30 here on the isle of Man, where it’s about 40 in the UK. The humidity again is appressive. I’m thinking this year is an el niño year. It’s where the weather is unusually warm in places, where La Niña is where it’s unusually cold in the winter. If my memory serves me correctly, there are cycles of el niño and la niña every 4 years. I may be wrong on that though. I find the weather extremely interesting. I know one thing though, Thunderstorms that are forecast tonight, will be great! I shall be recording every one of them! Yes, as well as an acoustic shooter, Neuroscience nerd, and singer, I am a weather inthewsiast as well! I remember the trip I went on round the met office. That was brilliant! I would like to do that again, to meet the new staff up there. I say up there, as it’s up the top of the airport, but down south of the island. Some of the meteorologists I get on with, are still working there, which helps when I ring up and ask for details on the thunderstorms that may be forecast. They probably think I am mad! haha! In other things, I have passed my year of university with 57%. That’s a great score for me. I’ve also made some good friends, after they educated me on something I would like to learn about and that’s trans gender and things like that. If all goes to plan on Saturday, I shall be going to visit my father again and have a chippy tea with him. That will be nice. Sitting in the garden, if it’s not raining. But if there’s a thunderstorm, you can bet we’ll both be out there watching it role in! On my dad’s side, some of the family were gypsies. So I guess my love for the weather and things comes from that. They were gypsies from Cumbria and spoke romany. I hope everyone is coping as well as they can in the heat. Enjoy it if you can but stay safe.
