Seeing pictures like these on the TV this morning makes me feel lucky that I have never experenced traffic quite that bad.

And here we are down here in bright sunshine.
What a stange little country this is.

The climate is a strange thing in general. You can ski in northern Israel at times, and the south is desert. That's a country the size of Wales. Even a small island like Tenerife has two different climates north and south of its mountains.

You have to have some sympathy for our much maligned British weather forecasters. There must be easier countries to ply that trade, yet I think they manage to do quite a decent job generally.

It sure is a strange country! Liverpool is renowned for heavy rainfall and whilst we have had our fair share of rain here lately, it's barely been a problem at all.

Incredibly, one of our bands opened an outdoor event on time and cricket was played at Lords.
Bumped into these guys this morning.
