      Been clear a few miles south of you a few times in the last couple of weeks, you must have had some bad luck, or have a rotten local weather pattern.

      does not seem like a very nice place to live with the smog filled sky you mentioned a couple weeks back also :(

      It used to be OK, but the leadership in Beijing while appearing more opne have cracked down on dissent and any media they cannot control...

  16. baggywrinkle

    A rubbsih day when anything that could go wrong did go wrong with a commissioning job...

  17. baggywrinkle

    AAAhhhh packing up the house ready for the move to Shanghai, so much rubbish to ditch

  18. baggywrinkle

      Rained an hour ago, now CLEAR. Arcturus visible due West and Saturn S West, still somewhat light however, on the cool side. Looks promising.

  19. baggywrinkle

    Another 5 days and I am out of Shanghai..thanks God. The internet is constantly interupted if you are using a non Chinese computer and trying to log onto sites like SGL.. or the Beeb.

      It has taken 7 month of campaigining to get Mrs B a visa, despite us being married 14 years and having lived in Aus..The UK are raising the bar on non EU folk and do not look properly at the circumstances.

      See the KK saga...my car is parked at Heathrow.

      Be thankful for something at least. Last time I was there at an internet cafe, was told I was using their Windows 99 :/ I soon left. Gotta love that place *cough*

      I lived 10 years in Shanghai, then 4.5 in Perth WA then back here last year for 6 months and now relocated to Ely UK, only visiting to sort out the visa issue. Cannot see anything dimmer than -1 mag where we have a house.

  20. baggywrinkle

    Another cold cloudy and wet morning...which is what is needed in WA..for farmers.

  21. baggywrinkle

    Applying for a Family Visa tomorrow. Need this so I can then get a driving licence for Shanghai...just love the pen pushing that goes on here. Took 28 days to get a copy of our marriage cert from BDM in Sydney, the hold up being China Post. Flightless messenger pidgeons would be quicker.

  22. baggywrinkle

    Back in China and the old barstewards in Beijing are blocking the BEEB again...

  23. baggywrinkle

    Back in the UK.....and on an internet system that works.

      My home broadband this morning 50m down, 10 meg up,

  24. baggywrinkle

    Back to the UK on Monday, please please let there be some clear skies over the Fens and Norfolk.

  25. baggywrinkle

    Been in China the last 2 weeks and one week to go. Internet is very iffy and the hotel we stayed in for our conference had the worst connection ever. The Chinese seem to think it is fast......not seen a clear sky either so no surprises on two fronts.
