Been working in South Wales this last 2 weeks. Weather in Tenby was roasting yesterday, i am sunburnt! Its been p1ssing down all day today, made the drive to Cardiff airport rather tedious. I am hoping for a glorious Edinburgh evening when i land in a few hours time.

 Its fecking sweaty hot here in Liverpool & 41.8 Deg C in our workshop 
|
|
It was beautiful when i landed in Edinburgh. Hot and sunny.

Soon change, Fraser is it you who fecks about with big electricity ?
|
|
That is indeed an apt description of part of what i do, and what i was up to in South Wales
|
|
Tell me then what are those things on The National Grid lines [either side of the pylon] that look like egg timers on their side
|
|
 Cant picture what you mean, are they attached to the pylon or on the ground?
|
|
Attached to the wires about a foot from and on either side of the insulators
|
|
You can just make em out on top right conductor
|
|
hmm, cant say i have ever noticed those before! First guess would be something to do with communications? but i really have no idea. I want to know now! I may have to ask around.

oscillation damping I asked the rest of our R&D team. I am sure its perfectly acceptable use of company resources
|
|
Thanks, I've wondered for ages what they were. Its still raining here
|
|
 what a cracking day, sun all day and none of the muggyness

A hot weekend in Edinburgh. Glentress was roasting yesterday!! getting a bit overcast now, rain on the way maybe.
|
|
 A dusty weekend in Baghdad, sandstorm has dropped the temp but increased the humidity..
|
|
been riding out Selkirk, Innerlethen way. Beautiful hot sunny day. blue sky, dusty trails. quite simply an utterly perfect summer's day of mountain biking. now chillin back with a chilled bottle of cider, before retiring to a pub beer garden. This my friends is TOTAL summer. grab it while its hot 
|
|
its raining and i dont have a coat with me . Well summer was great while it lasted.
|
|
Its the Glasgow holidays this weekend, so i have tomorrow and monday off. Therefore 30mph winds and torrential rain are forecast for tomorrow. Should make for a character building muddy ride!! Its lovely warm and sunny at the moment tho. oh and in non weather news, the streets of Edinburgh are strewn with rubbish and our basements are infested with rats thanks to those helpful striking/work to rule refuse collectors who consider public health less important than their bonuses
