Got in this evening to find the sky light in the communal area of the block of flats I live in wide open. I kid you not, in the summer when very hot we could find no way to open the thing. No in the depths of winter, we heavy rain overhead we can find no way of closing the thing.

The options with the letting agents emergency helpline are:

1) Heating and plumbing

2) Electrican

3) Locksmith.

Working on the basis it was cold I chose option 1 (always nice to wake someone up!) and he was as surprised as me to find there was no option of "man with ladder to close window" so open it is and the carpet gets wetter.

Bring on the snow I say...

Strange weather effect here - dangerous as well.

There was a heavy ground frost and it has rained but, the frozen ground was so cold that the rain solidified on impact resulting in a "bobbly" surface of ice. Close up it looks a bit like bubble wrap.

It is extremely slippery.

Not venturing outside today at all.

The theory is that global warming will eventually cause much colder weather in Britain. This because with the melting of ice in parts of the northern hemisphere, the sea will be diluted enough to stop the gulf stream from flowing. This process has already started. It is said that this process will speed up and could eventually lead to the complete stopping of the gulf stream flow within the life time of todays young people.

At the risk of sounding smug and self satisfied again - it's still fairly mild down here in Dorset - we didn't get that rain until late last night - then only for about an hour.......................

Lovely sunny day today - we walked up the beach at 7.45 this morning ( that was AFTER I'd had a go at hubby for leaving the alarm on for 6.30!!!)

:)
