Rediscovering music you used to love. Its like finding it the first time, only its familiar and exactly as awesome as before. My tastes in gothic dance and symphonic metal might not be everyone's but I'm sure the feeling for that rediscovery probably is.

It's hard to be more eloquent than Ed Hawkins - possibly always, but particularly on this. I am worried. I and a bit frightened. And I do wonder, have we crossed a tipping point? Has climate change vs weather mean we haven't yet noticed? We wouldn't know.

Just wondering, parkrun 🌳 , does the silence mean you do accept the statements of change.org/p/reinstate-st… silence does suggest yes. Worth noting that when I stood down as RD over refusal to communicate, I haven't been replaced by 1, let alone 100 volunteers. Where are they?

Really exciting to yesterday be given an award by Royal Meteorological Society - It's a real honour and such recognition really does make an enormous difference, thank you.

"It's a cold June" (1.6C colder than average for first 10 days of June Reading Meteorology ) but it's still warming significantly during June as these (1991-2020) averages show. This isn't unusual ('13 &'15 similar). Globe was 1.5C warmer than pre-industry in May (11th month in a row).

This am, Reading Meteorology observatory Uni of Reading took the maximum temperature reading for 26th (hottest day of the year so far). Which means, as of this morning's reading, the June daytime max are WARMER than the climatology. Just 2 weeks ago the cold was newspaper worthy. #Weather

Everyone knows that Team GB are incredible at events that involve sitting down. But does freestyle BMX (🥈) count as a sitting sport? He won the medal by very much not sitting (well done K. Reilly). #OlympicGames #Olympics #Olympics2024Paris #Paris2024 #ParisOlympics2024 #TeamGB

. Dobbies - asking you as I bought the seeds from you and I can't find any contact for Johnson's seeds! These 2 fruits have grown from 2 plants, both of which were from "table queen" seeds. They are clearly not the same, the smaller one on the left looks like a gem squash? huh?
