August 5th 1935,



Much rain today, as usual, as the monsoon season continues to strengthen. Especially in the North East of India, as well as in the Central parts and in Burma too. This being due to a much anticipated association with a depression in the North West angle of the bay, that was set to cross the Orissa Bengal Coast by today, which delivered. And with much power at that. Which continues to be active in the East and in North Punjab. And also in the West United Provinces, especially in the hill districts. It was also active in the East, and with the exception of brief periods of calm, in the North East of India (Outside of Orissa)
So far the Peninsula this week has seen a generally weakened monsoon.

The cold air continues to fall down the Himalayan Mountains, hitting the warm air in the Indian Ocean. At the juncture, the cold air precipates out and forms rain, otherwise known as monsoon season. This yearly weather pattern, which occurs during the Northern Winter, reaches as far afield as the Southern Continent of Australia. This island continent, the last continent to be discovered by Western civilisation, experiences monsoon weather during the November - January months in the Northern Territory.

There....the intrepid adventurer, Indy, has yet to come across the Aboriginal Dreamtime and the Rainbow Serpent.


Further south of the continent, the cloud cover and mizzle conditions continue to blanket much of Melbourne. We are expecting scattered showers, local hail and possible thunderstorms tomorrow.

So it was raining.


Today 75 with not a cloud in the sky. Until about 6 pm when I was out. A few lightning strikes as a big cloud dropped rain to the south of me. Then the cloud turned against me, coming right to me I got inside. But it just blew over with no rain to spare.

Exactly....

Before appearing in his own series, Curious George appeared as a character in another children's book written and illustrated by H.A. Rey, Cecily G. and the Nine Monkeys (1939).

My journal is dated 1935. So actually, it pre-dates curious George, so he does not fit the proper time period. Hence, shall not be using that reference. And curious George is from Africa,not India.

Why let reality get in the way of a good story???



Cold with rain in Melbourne tonight.

Spaghetti Bolognaise for dinner...but no parmesan in the house. My DS will NOT be pleased! Where is Mara when I need her?

August 06, 1935



So far the rain continues to delay progress. But at least Sallah has been behaving himself, so far anyway. I don't like it much when I feel as though I must be a caretaker for an adult. But because he (Sallah) can behave like an overgrown boy at times, that is what I end up having to do. No point in complaining about it to Indy, because he will just tell me to shut it, and that I can leave if I don't like it. So fine, I will only be quiet for as long as it is possible to do so. All the same though, Indy knows from experience that I will not be keeping silent about certain things when I decide not to be. And he can complain all that he wants to, but in the end I will win. That is because well, lets just say I know where the skeletons are and why, not all mind you but many all the same. Then there is the fact, that it was I that had visions of Mara and her mysterious temple, not he. Sometimes Indy can be annoying. But I love him all the same, what can I say?
In the mean time, Sallah has been entertaining us with his rather sordid little tales of ill fated love affairs, here and abroad. And what measures he had to go to in order to get away from his Turkish captors. Which by the way, he was not released, no, instead it entails bribery, mischief, gold and looking like a woman. I would imagine he would make for one very homely lady. And is best left imagined than realized I say!
That is one of many things that Sallah is very good for. And that is being an entertaining person. But he also is very knowledgable of many good things and subjects. Not to mention has been researching Mara for even longer than myself and Indy. And of course he is fluent in the local languages. I like him, but.... he can be very annoying at times, all the same. And when he begins to get on my last nerve, I will tell him. And I don't care if he likes it or not. Too bad...

Yesterday saw it anywhere from 101 to 41. Today at home it reach 75, glad to be somwhere that wasn't hot.

 

[Gisele]

E gads! 101? No thank you..... It sounds like you need to borrow a bit of monsoon and soon.

 

[Disneylovers2000]

Surprisingly summer has come to our neck of the woods! All week its been about -one moment while I convert - 77-80 all week! and no rain! Its amazing! but of course the weekend is calling for cooler weather and showers.

 

[Gisele]

Thank you all for your weather updates.

It was warmer in the Petaluma area today (Highs in the upper 80's) from what I prefer, but in the shade, where there was also a nice cool breeze, now for me, that felt glorious. I am not a hot weather person, neither are my pets. Seriously.

 

[PrincessInOz]

Winter is still upon us in Melbourne. Rain showers and a temperature in the 50's right now at close on noontime. Ah well....at least I can have lunch.

 

[kaoden39]

It is warm here but not hot. I see the fog in the morning over the hills so I no that San Francisco is having fog in the mornings.

 

[skiingfast]

Sunny and mid to low seventies during the day. A gentle breeze in the afternoon.

 

[skiingfast]

Yesterday was great, calm no clouds and mids seventies. Then early afternoon clouds appears. A big storm roller through late afternoon. Lots of wind and hail a few cracks of lightning.

Today started the same, but clouds started building early afternoon but cleared by late afternoon.

There is a huge ploom of smoke in the mountains nearby, maybe a result of the lightning yesterday.

 

[Gisele]

Either that, or someone is having one hellacious weenie roast. Got buns?

 

[skiingfast]

Yesterday was super smokey in the morning. Maybe visibility of a quarter mile.

But just afternoon a gentle breeze came in revealing a nice day. It did rain for a quick shower in the late afternoon but it dried up very fast.

 

[Gisele]

Quick showers can be good. Pass the soap please...

 

[skiingfast]

Today was hot. And a tad humid. High eighties so one of the hotest days this summer. A quick thunder storm to the north and south but it was dry, calm and mostly blue where I was today, even as I moved around. What luck.

 

[kaoden39]

Hot, hot, hot!! One of those days I wished I was over in Sonoma county.

 

[skiingfast]

The day is not quite over. It was a sunny morning with only a few clouds but felt a little humid. Then around 1 storm clouds appeared. It was really wet under one with water overrunning the curbs and storm drains. But then I drove on and out from under the cloud and a mile away it was dry and sunny again.

I ejoyed the rain and clouds because it was 80 out in the sun around noon, but cooler in the shade.

 

[skiingfast]

Nice days with a handful or omnipresent clouds making thier turn through the sky. An on and off breeze suggested a storm every other hour. But just a tiny bit of rain came down on me. Only saw one other cloud dropping it's cargo.
