Bloody weather!

No, I'm not complaining because I like hot weather or even because I want to top up my tan, but the clouds hanging over Southern England right now (10:30pm) are preventing me seeing any of the Perseid meteors that are raining down on us as I write.

You can read more about this once a year phenomenon here at the BBC science site. Apparently those lucky northerners have clear skies tonight, oh well; at least I don't need to water the garden!

Let's all move to America where it's always sunny.

Yeah, but having to listen to the inane babble of all those obnoxious Republican Christians, a tough choice :)
