I quite agree, I'm sure the ladies of the forum will agree with the Chinese girl, who said to the stamp collector "philately will get you nowhere".

We had a beautiful warm but very windy day here with 25 C. A good idea to clean the brains with a walk on the beach nearby.

nice shots of blowing sand.

Our warm spell is due to break on Saturday and come back on Sunday

Just seen reports on our news that the North Island of New Zealand got a surprise snowstorm yesterday afternoon.  600 people had to be rescued from cars.  Swept in quickly and left thick snow.  Pretty amazing for the North Island I think.  I think I saw mention by Lesley that they've just had snow, but she is way down in the South Island, so a little more expected I would imagine.  Weird planet at the moment, isn't it!  Floods, Fires (here in Aus and over in the US at the same time), Earthquakes, Snowstorms, Drought etc.

Rain at last !!! 
It's been raining all morning - the first rain worth talking about for two months ! 
August and September were awfully dry here - Rhodo's are loosing leaves - young plants in the garden suffering (or killed) by the drought...
This is very unlike Belgium  ... and this while Sicily and a lot of areas in Southern Europe are suffering from floods..

It's on its way here, Luc, no rain for weeks and bone dry but the dark clouds are gathering over the Alps.... amazing intense pale sunlight spots over the mountains on my walk this evening - forgot to take my camera

In the UK we only had 40% of the average rainfall for the month. In N Ireland, well my garden, I only had one wet day in September.
