Snorkling snaps

Tomasz has entertained us with a hat-trick of links on Facebook today. First a link from Nasa. Tomasz comments:
How complex is our Climate: Here, in the UK, we've just been breaking records when it comes to winter weather and *yet*, 2010 (and 2005) was overall the warmest year on record across the planet-- when all is averaged out. Seems that many places are warming but some areas are actually cooling. I know where we are!

Secondly ring inspections reveal why the Roman Empire may have fallen; nothing to do with the Bottom Inspectors in Viz, but a reference to tree-rings. Finally the lame title of today's blog-post, alludes to this National Geographic piece, about a Thai person diving down somewhere fishy and staying down a long time. There are stage-shows like that in Thailand-- so I hear.

In other news, Tomasz finds this weekend's weather grey, but "waaaarm". I thought Tomasz was from Gdansk, not South Yorkshire. Az tha bin t'Baaarnsleh lad, tha knaws? Sithee.

No news as to Tomasz's future: Given that Rob McElwee did his last onscreen performance last week, I imagine Tomasz's Met Office contract has elapsed. No news from Tomasz, is good news. To use modern parlance {i}, I hope His Loveliness is 'cool' at present.

A sprinkling from Tomasz

The highlight from Tomasz's forecasts yesterday, was his description of showers-- talking about "sprinkling" and "treacling"-- those are nice images from The Schaf via his sumptuous voice. I'm pleased to say Tomasz was sporting his lovely sky-blue tie again, complements his equally lovely eyes.

I like how described South Yorkshire as a "golden land". In Carboniferous times that area was a tropical swamp... Barnsley hasn't changed much, other than it's not tropical anymore.



Thanks to Terratec^

Coming up later today, Tomasz grappling with something hot and erupting fluid. I haven't been so excited since Wednesday, when a new series of the Shuttleworths started on Radio 4
