Interesting facts

Amy sent us a large collection of interesting facts. This is a selection, which I fact-checked. I had to stop and publish quickly because the weather is turning nasty and I have to switch everything off... Thanks, Amy.

Hard hitting weather

Hail seems to be the "in" thing these days. There was a major hailstorm in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on Monday 19. Yesterday Colorado had loads of hailstones and today we woke up to a huge hailstorm, then had another one after lunch. A friend from London also reported a hailstorm this lunchtime.

Sao Paulo, Brazil

Denver, Colorado
It's sunny now, but who knows how long it will last? Yesterday we had some lively weather during the day and I took a couple of pictures of a spectacular sunset, thinking the weather had finally settled, but by the time we went to bed, we had to pull all plugs as a big storm approached. After that, the only plugs were in my ears! They're very useful for snoring and thunder... (taser doesn't work for thunder)

Reducing stress...

Mrsgunka sent us some stress reducing pictures. Laughing is definitely a very good medicine. Thank you, MrsG. [Wishing Jon all the best for today's surgery plus a quick and painless recuperation. We know he's in good hands!]
