Quail, puny mortals!

A great gold fire burns in the sky! Surely our doom is upon us as the flaming meteor plunges towards earth.

News just in, apparently it's the sun, deciding to turn up after several months absence. I have also learned this weekend that sky is not always white or grey-coloured and wet, but can also do blue and dry. It is all very cheering.

I am fond of the joke about Bergen, in which a tourist stops a boy and asks him if it ever stops raining. "I don't know," the boy replies, "I'm only nine."

There's a line in Ghosts - Osvald, just back from Paris, exclaims "God, does it never stop raining!" which always raises a huge laugh when it's played in Manchester, especially since Ghosts opening in Manchester seems to be a signal for the monsoon to start.

I shall be going to Ghosts on Friday - I shall listen out for it!

When I was at school, the signal for the monsoon was singing "When I Needed a Neighbour" in assembly.

September 1989. Apparently I am that rare thing, a tourist who has photos of Bergen from the top of Blåmannen in which you can actually see Bergen.

A friend who deals with EU project funding on Exmoor said that her meeting of women farmers the other week, a new arrival recently moved from Kent said all the neighbours kept coming round to see how she was coping with the weather. Mind you, I don't think Kent has been much better in the past few months.

I am sure that Bergen looks lovely when you can see it...

At least people in Kent get the fun of snow on occasion.
