I looked up at the sky today and was flabbergasted. Usually in the UK there's loads of them fluffy things in the sky, black in colour, and when you least expect it they go and drench you!

I had to take a photo of this remarkable phenomenon as a cherished keepsake, lol.

You guys have a sun in London?

London's down south, they get reasonable weather down there. Up north where I am days of good temps and azure blue skies are few and far between, lol.

Up north where we are we class a good day, in fact we class summertime as potential days where it is possible to leave the house without a coat and not still get drenched (rain not sweat!).
Have to admit, my friends in Houston seem to be getting all our mixed up weather at the minute. Can’t say I mind too much though!

Usually nice weather by me.
As I look out at storm clouds...

Yeah, you'll know exactly what I mean regarding our weather. You're in West Yorkshire, I'm in East Lancashire, so we're practically neighbours, lol. Today's been a cracking day though, I believe it's going to be rather pleasant all weekend too.

According to my wife, the temps at my house in southern Manitoba have been above 30C for the past few days...pretty warm for us.

Up here at the northern jobsite where I work, today's high was around 8C...but at least most of the ice has melted off the water nearby.

Last Saturday, we had temps over 20C, high winds (we always have high winds...), lightning and thunder...and snow...simultaneously. I hate my job.

How far north do you have to travel to work? Manitoba is huge. I suspect that if you live in the south and work in the north, then that is one hell of a journey to work! But a beautiful journey too, the amount of lakes in Manitoba must be the highest of any state. I imagine it to be just countless miles of just trees, mountains and lakes.

If you've ever watched the opening scene to The Shining, where there is an aerial view of the tiny car travelling on the remote road through the countless miles of forest, this conjures up a picture in my mind of Canada. It's my type of wilderness, despite the horrific winter temps, lol.
