His name is Mike

The red moon, sightings forecast over the Indian Ocean and East Africa from 8:30pm tonight. T
No luck here, due to cloud cover.

We have a Mike Bareham who is one of the members who helps run the Clacton Camera Club. Wonder if that is maybe who you mention ?

Maya has a thing about the bees on the lavender along the edge of the path, that ain't gonna end well! Poppy was the same about flying beasties until something nailed her.

Its horribly sticky here again tonight, forecast rain in the early hours but the thundery stuff is supposed to body swerve around here.

I haven't seen any lightening or heard thunder here yet. the breeze has picked up & it's feeling much cooler thankfully.


I'm just listening to some 'Canned heat' and sneaked a tall glass of wifeys whisky and all's well on the Lancashire riviera.

Sounds good Andy. I'm having a whisky chaser with Cider just having some supper & suddenly thought of Derek! we've had a bumper crop of tomatoes with this hot Summer weather so I'm having tomatoes on toast with a thick spread of Marmite. I know he was partial to it.

Good morning all, good morning Ian. I wonder what prompted you to think of Derek? I often think of him and how he was a gent and a witty man. Still missed.

A whisky chaser with a cider would wipe me out. Tonight, I am flying and the plane takes off at 11:30pm. They don’t bring the food around until 01:30, so I will have a B. Mary and get my head down. There was a cheaper flight to London on Saudi Airlines via Jeddah, but no alcohol is served and their site said there will be religious announcements, so I decided to stick with British Airways, have a drink, take the edge off the flight and relax

What are your plans for the weekend?
