Don't blame it on the rain . . .

The other night, we were watching a program on BBC about the Coriolis effect. In a few words ( from Wikipedia ) this force causes moving objects on the surface of the Earth to be deflected in a clockwise sense (with respect to the direction of travel) in the northern hemisphere and in a counter-clockwise sense in the southern hemisphere.

Rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure, as they would in a non-rotating system, winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator and to the left of this direction south of it. This effect is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones.

Where I got news for you, it's that it's also responsible for the unpredictable weather in the UK. I don't know if it's the right time but we surely are in the WRONG geographical place.

Well you've seen my photos yesterday, blue sky, no clouds, the only photo I managed today is this one, from the kitchen door as I even didn't manage to bring the girls to the park all day.

So next time, you are in the strange mood, don't blame it on the rain . . .  Blame it on the Coriolis effect.



Let's reflect - January : Serendipity Day 6

I thought that the weather was a sign that the week is touching to the end and it is about time I start doing my pages for this challenge.

So I started playing with ink, I am all dirty but soooo happy. How can we ask our kids not to put paint everywhere, being messy is so much fun.

I hope I will upload tonight or tomorrow. In case you didn't go to Lucky Snapping yet, I created a new link.

Update : Well in fact, I managed to do my pages this afternoon :

Take care everybody, xxx
