I've just had my first flu jag. Painless, but was 𝐧𝐨𝐭 given a "I've been brave today" sticker. I left the surgery just a tat disappointed.

A poor choice of substitute for Rory. I shall give this episode a miss.

While out on this afternoon's perambulation I thought it a bit warm for 05/10/2026, on checking the local Weather Underground [www.wunderground.com] site I was surprised to discover it was 21.7°C.

Delighted to report that a rather delicious chocolate mousse found in Brittany on holiday has been found being sold in a local shop, with packaging written in English.

Today is the start of the process of getting the boat ready to come out for the water for the winter. Always a sad day as, for me, it signifies the end of summer. At least I have a long list of jobs to do that will keep me busy over the winter.

October already! The good news is there are only 81 days until the December Solstice when the sun starts its return journey from its holiday in the southern hemisphere.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Quite a difference from yesterday.

I remember this being shown on TV.

Full moon last night, spring tides and we are at the equinox and tides are very high around now.

One of the great thing about France is the coffee is far better than the slop sold on the high street in the United Kingdom.

My face recognition superpower strikes again! Someone who I worked with 25 years age sat opposite me and was quite surprised when I said hello.

Watched the film Pressure on 13/09/2026. Two of my favorite subjects, weather and all things Scottish.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

That brings back childhood memories.

A few years back. Sunrise over an oily North Sea.

This ten minute crossing is famous around the world - and is believed to be the last turntable style ferry anywhere. It's an iconic part of Skye's history, but the ferry's operator says its futur...

Has there been a change in water temprature?

South West Coastal Path, Croyde north Devon.

My old stamping ground. Visited a couple of years back and still as stunning, but a few more houses had been built.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

After several weeks of sunshine we have had the first noticeable rainfall! If it rains between 2200 and 0600 hours UTC I am more than happy with that.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

A stunning beach. Do you dip all year?

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 22/08/2026

Visiting Bristol and spotted this old telephone box. Now I know it has been hot, but not that hot.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Looking forward to my second solar eclipse. Not quite totality, but over 90%.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 06/08/2026

Nope. A scone is a scone and at the VERY most might have some raisins and sultanas in them.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

Time to place that wet towel in the freezer.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

No mention of scones on that running top!

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

We best not mention the Cornish.

Like our fishing industry it was well reported that they all vote to leave the EU

I looked on in wonder as a couple gave their hyper active three year old three scoups of chocolate ice-cream in a restaurant last night. I wonder what time they eventually got off to sleep last night?

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

So far the weather has been kind on this vacation.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

After yesterday's incident I hope the casualty had a restful night and has started the long road to recovery.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 12/07/2026

they need to keep hydrated, just like us.

The bathroom at Castle Drogo. I'd love to have a shower in that amazing bath. They do good scones at the castle.

"Memory has a wonderful habit of editing out horizontal rain, winter gales, and cold dark afternoons that seem to begin shortly after breakfast" Alex McBratney. I love the horizontal rain, winter gales and cold afternoons that start shortly after breakfast.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

The temperature has returned to something like normal.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

As a Scot living on the Cornish/Devon border I could not possibly comment.

0630 UTC (0730 WEST) and the temperature is already 24.6 °C with a low of 20.5 °C at 0430 UTC.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 24/06/2026

A local high temperature of 36.8 °C and a low of 18.3 °C today.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Weather Underground informs me that it is 22°C at 0700 UTC.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

The brilliance of www.wunderground.com is you can get a local weather reading.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

I shall need to look out for those. I have a habit of checking charity shops for DVDs.

They are all as bad as each other. YouTube is good for watching Yes Minister and Yes Prime Minister, things have not changed in decades.

Sandy Garrity @sandygarrity.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

I know little of Sébastien Lecornu, but Wikipedia suggests he is on the right of centre. Andy Burnham is likely to be the next UK PM is left of centre.

Gosh, another Prime Minister quits the post!

It is warming up. At 0700 𝐔𝐓𝐂/0800 𝐖𝐄𝐒𝐓 the temperature is 22°C.

The June Solstice has happened. The nights will start getting longer in northern latitudes, but the length of the day will remain at approximately 24 hours.
