I've noticed last few days frequent car horn hooting along my road, I think the hot weather is getting to people and their fuses are getting short!

Good stuff.
There must be some lightning around here somewhere because the lights just went out and my HiFi stopped . To Nick's credit the DAC was still up & ready for music.

Two or three calls today from customers whose routers had been killed by lightning strikes.
Tonight we have the longest lunar eclipse of the century, Mars at closest approach, with Saturn, Jupiter and Venus all visible at the same time. And it’s the first cloudy night for weeks

The world looks so different after learning science. For example, trees are made of air, primarily. When they are burned, they go back to air, and in their flaming heat is released the flaming heat of the Sun which was bound in to convert air into tree.

Excellent from here - Dubai Astronomy Society had a whole evening of events. Great fun and a good turnout. Kicked off around midnight. Clear skies. 36C and lowish humidity. I would post photos but they're not especially interesting!
Spent 6 hours yesterday dune bashing in 48C heat Aircon in the Jeep called quits half way through
