An eerie sky

There was something strange about the sky tonight....about 2130 hours, it was getting dark...... but there was a rainbow high in the sky and in the west there was the most evil, lowering, smouldering sky that I have ever seen. It was the sort of vista that gets you running about shouting DOOM.......still, three hours later and we're still here.

Talking of doom and portents of disaster.....................

Tony Blair has said that climate change is the greatest single threat at the present time....I suspect that this is one he's got right. In order to address the problem he is considering the nuclear option, and is being encouraged in this by the USA - for those of you of a nervous disposition (most of us I imagine, when Good Ol' George and Tony get together!!) - I don't think they're going to save time and nuke the world. No, he's reconsidering nuclear enegy...this'll take around 10 to 15 years to come on stream and leaves the problem of storage, security and disposal of the resultant nuclear waste to succeeding generations.....the end of the world is not now 'nigh'.....it's a couple of weeks later.

And so to bed.....

Nos Da.
