That's all.
Actually, that's not all. Notice there are no contrails. But the sky of London is continuously criscrossed by planes. That means (as I learned from The Cloudspotter's Guide, obtainable from the Cloud Appreciation Society and all good bookshops), that there was little moisture in the upper atmosphere, suggesting fine weather would continue for some time - as it has, so far. Contrails - condensation trails - aren't fumes, they're clouds, the planes just seed them. If there isn't moisture, they don't really get going, they're short and they fade quickly.
Well, Happy Birthday MsHedgehog!

There's a lovely expression "The moon is in his house". It means that there's a lot of water mositure so when you look at the full moon it has a halo. You can get a similar "reading" on non-moonlit nights by looking at streetlamps.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to you,
ReplyDeletehope you didn't loose a shoe,
while dancing your birthday waltz,
as some tangueras do.
It rhymes!
ReplyDeleteThank you maya xxx
I didn't have one birthday waltz but I did invite several dancing friends to be in the same place, and danced with them all, and other people, and it was such a fun evening.
Thank you E! xxx
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday MsHedgehog, from your Aussie aunt, BJ.
ReplyDeleteYou may not remember, but when I was in Romania, my Hungarian friends called me 'hedgehog' in Hungarian - for my spikey hair!
