LOCAL WEATHER NOW AND FORECAST FOR TODAY

==============================

http://www.netweather.tv precipitation display

nothing unusual in the rain blobs on the display this morning but they dont appear to be getting any closer when you run the animation.  I think they are so light that as they try to get over the hills between Manchester and here they drop all the rain.  No doubt if they develop more moisture we will see some on the ground eventually.,   

12.5c is that normal?  looking back last year on this day it was  10.8c so I suppose its nothing out of the ordinary.  We have a bit of a breeze at the moment but i don't think it will be too cooling an influence 

The weathercam view is rather grey this morning looking like it could rain any minute - - -

Local weather forecast:
The Met O is looking at maybe rain until 09:00 then a cloudy but with sunny interval day.  Yahoo weather has a cloudy day with 0% chance of rain.  Top Temp from both agencies is between 12 & 15c for the day

The shift on my ATA went well even with me agreeing the other day to do an extra couple of hours (15:00 to 21:00).  It's certainly a different experience than my previous work being there when the facility, normally busy during the day, is winding down.  Ever present in my mind is the Bathroom project and having secured our "almost silent" shower extractor fan fitting that will be today's challenge!

I see this story covers the Twitter shutdown of its "vine" 6 second video app.  Genuine panic amongst its users shows the desperate state people get into about their supposed "communication and being in touch" one user tweets in capital letters ITS CRAZY VINE BEING SHUT DOWN IT CHANGED MY LIFE IN SUCH AN INTENSE WAY AND I WOULDVE (SIC) NEVER GOT HERE WITHOUT IT" - - - what next ! - - - 

 

Here's another technology "disaster" ! Googles new Pixel smartphone was said to have the "highest rated smartphone camera ever".  It has however turned out that in full light the photos have a halo effect like the one in the, bottom right, of the photo above. Google is trying to resolve the issue with a software fix which is also upsetting users.   something and nothing i suppose but it has users in a spin, one said "sad but i just initiated a return for my phone, i cant gamble C$1000 on a phone with such an issue, based on a potential software fix.  Whaaaat! C$1000 for a phone! - - - is it me? - - -

No wait! it is me, most certainly . 

This Metro story  The press have been ramping up the ante on what the new macbook is going to be like and finally its out.  Apple streamed live the launch and the Metro updated its page as it was unveiled. .  Do i care, No, will i ever buy a Mac, No, but why?  - - - I'm a windows and sometime a linux man and i love swearing at my PC when it wont work and am supremely confident that if my PC wont do something, the number 1 fix which was relevant when PC's first came out will fix it - - - switch it off and switch it back on again - - -

Attempting to stifle some of the Brexit b-----t put out by the people parties and papers that did not vote to leave this Express story is peppered with facts about the UK economy since the brexit vote.  All the negativity since brexit is down to stock market wide boys scaremongering on the pound to force it down and so called "expert analysts" being completely wrong in their assessments.  - - - only my opinion of course - - -
