ASCENSION: A fair amount of dry weather with most of the weeks rainfall at Travellers falling in the very last hour on Monday morning!

ST. HELENA:  A rather cloudy picture with the best of the sunshine on Friday and Sunday

UK: Bit of a changeable week all in all.  Very wet around the 10^th when most of the rain fell at Brize.

FALKLANDS: Not too cold, mainly dry though windy at times, but few cross wind problems for the Airbridge and relatively clear of low cloud too.

We love our music and here’s a compilation of carefully chosen toons I use to help give some inspiration on those 14 hour nights!

 “The Greatest “Weather” Anthems in the World … Ever!

(Ascension Island - Volume 1)

Flowers in the Rain (Move) Travellers Hill signature tune?

Misty (Ray Stevens) Definitely one to be singing up the Mountain.

Lightning Crashes (Live) fortunately not that often on Ascension.  The last thunderstorm reported here was in 2000.

Summer Breeze (Isley Brothers) cooling the heat of Georgetown.

Walking on Sunshine (Katrina and the Waves) – “moonshine” more like.

I Should be So Lucky (Kylie) …..  to get the weather forecast right.

Pump up the Volume (S.M.A.R.T.) - to keep us going on the …...

Nightshift (Commodores) followed by  lazing on a

Sunny Afternoon (Kinks) down English Bay.

Plus Bonus Track

White Xmas  (Bing Crosby).  What!? Well, with FICZmas only a week away here’s one they may be singing down in MPA.
