Anyone else in receipt of an e-mail sent since Saturday, concerning a ban on global dimming?

Apparently, in an attempt to cool the planet it's been proposed that the sky be seeded to scatter and reflect sunlight back into space. It's been worked out that they could slow the annual increase by as much as 1°C, Year on year.
Not certain how cold that would make it on a day to day basis.

Yes, there was a petition mailout about stratospheric aerosol injection a couple of days ago. I signed it, mostly because of the danger of unintended consequences.

Let's move to solar power and then dim the sun.

Good morning from a sun & warmth free Suffolk.

Coffee has finally been had after a very good night's sleep and an extended lie in. Do I do the domestics today or tomorrow?

@Jenkins it's meant to be sunnier but colder tomorrow if that helps you?

Meanwhile second cuppa went down well

I was trying to think of something funny, but that is spot on!

On Friday I hit a post with my left hand. The injured finger is on the right fortunately.

And yes, I'm riding and have been very carefully for the past two months. I'm cleared to start racing again from the end of June.

In terms of issues I'm struggling a bit with dexterity, so the shifter angle is raised slightly. Also I can't ride too far yet as the vibrations make the finger hurt, as does hitting any potholes.

Hopefully you're recovering with a similar operation?

👍

oh mine was very superficial, but thank you. I am using it for everything, cleaning garages, cutting lumber, loading cement, washing dishes all the fun stuff. my poor bicycles have been neglected however but not due to the finger

I've cut the grass as it's Garden Bin Day tomorrow.

Or a petro-chemicals ''solution'' to a petro-chemical problem that curiously uses more petro-chemical products....

Another day, another submission deadline. This time it's my postgraduates and theirs is a little more flexible as it's an assignment rather than an exam. That's a good thing, given less than a quarter have submitted with 40 minutes to go.

Lunchtime stroll completed
Still cloudy but dry and the breeze has eased
