Today's Weather

@fluffy2560 what depressed weather it is!

I cannot believe in the middle of May, we're suffering from 11C and downpours.
It's been pretty much raining all day (15mm here so far) and will continue for the rest of the week.

Forecast say we'll jump back to 24C by Saturday.

I looked at the weather maps and there's a mini-weather depression suck right over Budapest.

Even just 40km away, some maps are showing 22C!

Last few days I've had a hot water bottle to ease my back and warm up, but just tonight we decided to put the heating on to get the chill out of the house.

Today its not stopped raining and have a high of 9°C
-@SimCityAT

Only 9C? I thought we were doing badly.  It's gone past 15mm of rain now. And the wind has really picked up for some reason. Some quite high gusts from the East/South East.

We've switched our heating off but our house is well insulated so we hardly notice if it dips down to like 12C for just a couple of days. More than that we'd have to think about putting it on again.

The forecasts are usually only accurate the day before. I'm hoping we'll have a breakout of summer in the next days. Upside is the plants are being watered and my water butt is full.

Weather is picking up a bit but only by a few degrees. It's at least a bit more today, 14C.  I reckon that's 10 degrees too low.  There's a band of rain from Poland across Hungary and going down to Bucharest. It extends up to the Baltics and down as far as Italy. 

Yesterday, I decided to risk it between showers and drizzle and took the dog to the forest.

She has no sense of decorum and came back covered in mud. 

At least the wind has died down.

But it's rain rain rain all week.  The only things benefiting are the weeds.

I love the rain but then again I lived in dry Las Vegas for years, it's nice to see weather.

Also lived in Hilo, I am not kidding it rained at least once a day there and in the so called rainy season it came down so thick you'd never guess there were palms trees a few feet away. So overcast and dark there, that was depressing , paying Hawaiian prices to live there and being caught in the rain all the time.

People there paid it no mind, I never saw anyone use an umbrella there.

It's suppose to be 77F by Sat. and sunny?

We'll see about that.

Sometimes I wonder what those Pacific island people are thinking. 

I've been to a few islands out there in the middle of Pacific nowhere. They are often covered in thick jungle with deep valleys, large mountains and huge rainfall.   And they have a completely uninhabited interior with everyone living around the edges next to the sea.

The obvious thing to do is to build a hydroelectric power station.  Yet from what I see is they have multiple large diesel generators grinding away powering their island.  Even just one wind turbine could probably power one entire island.   Or use solar panels. With all that rainfall they wouldn't need to clean them very often.  Plug in some batteries and it's done!

At least they aren't  short of water. We'll all be short on water due to global warming.  You wouldn't think we'd get short of water considering how much of it is falling on us these past days!

77°F is still quite cold as its only 25°C. considering we have already had highs of 23°C already

I looked at the almanac and we're down 10C on historical averages.  From today, we're back up to more normal temperatures but still down a few degrees. I looked across Europe and it's all much lower than it usually is. Apparently there's a huge depression or series of them stuck over Europe dumping rain and lower temperatures. But it's shifting now.

Meanwhile, it's so soaked here at Fluffy Towers, our garden landscapers/builders have said they'll have to put off any work until next week as it's too muddy and slippery to do anything. They are sort of close to finishing the work but it's like that last 15%-10% has remained stubbornly elusive and interfered with by the weather gods.

Italy is having it rough, 9 dead so far from the floods. Quite a few rivers have busted and the F1 Grand Prix got cancelled because of fears of safety.

I saw that.  A few days ago, on the weather radar, it was all stormy around Trieste with multiple thunderstorms and heavy clouds.  Wind seemed to coming in from the North East and circulating over Eastern Europe. I also read it was being added to by moisture coming in from the Atlantic. Hence the non-stop rain.

Maybe not the same there's that Swiss mountain that's going to fall on the village below it. Presumably it's being further dislodged by heavy downpours.  They've evacuated it so it's just property but still, not very nice seeing your house crushed.

Using Mk 1 eyeball and looking out the window, it's already brighter out there and temperatures are creeping up - already 15C. It should be a reasonable 21C. Clouds are thinning and I can see (surprisingly) some blue sky in there. UV is almost 2, barometer is showing increasing high pressure and humidity has reduced. Should be a comfortable day but still under normal temperatures (should be like 24C).

21°C here today, and sat outside my Lokal with a T-shirt. Gave up looking at my tablet because I could not see the screen.

We have hit 27°C already, So Summer has hit us.

Hello every one from Thailand

We plan to travel HUN and was reading all your weather updates in country...  Thank you...

With your permission would like to attach another weather source update that has intresting live video

photo updates from individual people operating internet camera attached to their house locations to

show real time photo of the weather outside their house.

-@tamas0

That IP address (if it is one) is malformed in the link.  Presumably it should be 47.41.17.55. The IP address 47.41.17.55 is located in Burbank, California. I didn't look further into it.

The weather maps are OK. The wind speed map is nice. A big negative for me is that there's no metric button. Typically it uses Imperial units. That's not uncommon with US weather sites and applications. I'm old enough to understand Imperial units perfectly but I prefer metric units these days. None of my kids have any idea about Imperial units even though we (oddly) still use miles in the UK.

I was looking at typhoon Mawar in the Pacific. it was hot news and damage on Guam was considerable. Now moving towards the Philippines and Taiwan but much reduced in power.

More on topic, there aren't many cameras in Hungary and the ones there seem to be traffic cameras. However, there is one which has rather big spider in front of it!

Hello  sorry you have problem with the

www.ventusky.com it is a program on Google Play Store and also downloaded for Operating systems such as

Windows and Ubuntu Linux... We use Ununtu Linux Operating Sytem for ventusky weather display and can

explain what is on our menu....

The map is user adjustable all over the globe and has a left side menu and right sided menu

The left side menu user selected to view snow rain thunder storm wind humidity temperature etc etc each selection takes

time a little time to update for your selected global loca tion.....

The left side menu is user manipulated to setup kg lbs inch centimeter etc etc and a complicated graphical adjustment for the view of the wind speed directions icons enhancements detail;s to your display preferences....

The main image you have remarked about is based on your left menu selection of rain humidity temperature etc but the

video camera is turned on on the right side with the camera icon on off.... The most important informations here is

that people like you are sending the real pictures using a cheap IP camera connected to their house internet router !!

The people some time turn off their internet IP camera and most are not professional photo operators but indeed they

the people attach their own IP camera to their house and broadcast an image online using ventusky.com...

I do not know about your WHOIS IP search nuber 44 we are in thailand and pastedf what we look at using Ubuntu Linux

Operating system over our fiber router connected internet service provider...

There are a few applications like this.  The wind map is nice but an easy set non-metric option is a dealbreaker.   

Maybe it's not your IP address.  If it is your IP address, that's really bad to show it directly like that.  Probably it's a token based system which would make far more sense.

Direct IP addresses could be  a security risk as many IP cameras are very weak on security.

@fluffy2560

Hello and thank you for comments...  No we do not have IP camera outside our house Bangkok..

Our purpose me and the wife was  to introduce options and maybe expand HUN weather posted details that may be

integrated at your house from your house not only as a security option but as a weather report on the spot from

your house....

Any way please note that cheap IP cameras are sold that have internal isolated router hardware there fore do not

attach to your private internet service router...  What is also important is the t iming of the photo it is not a video

but a periodic captured image not in motion and uploaded periodic example every hour to the weather service

and re broadcasted by ventusky weather service security avoid porno and other advertised streaming hackers

Any way it is intresting and we use it daily to plan for our Thailand weather activity... By the way it has been cloudy and

raining in Thailand but the temperature has been fluctuating around  29 C

Pleasure to meet you and learn from your technical computer suggestions...

It will have to use your home router to send data unless there's a separate line or another WiFi provider.  The chances are it will use your home router.   To make it work need to open the router ports (port forward) to have live images or run a program to regularly upload (push) the images to their storage for display.  The latter is more secure.  It might be included in the camera firmware.

There are lots of weather stations which are internet enabled.  I use one to upload my local weather  to a provider.  When I discuss the weather, I'm looking at my weather station.  It has many features like solar, rainfall, wind speed and direction, barometer etc. It runs 24x7 and is solar  and battery powered.

It's automatically sending weather data to a base station over a wireless link and the base station sends to the weather site.  I can also have a weather camera and while I do have a weather cam set up on the roof of my house,  I'm not sharing the images. I just look at it myself (I have a good view of the Erszebet Kilato) but I should really replace the camera for a more modern one.  One reason is that I'm planning to overlay the weather data realtime on the moving images.  It will run on a Raspberry PI (RPi) (uses Raspbian and expect the programming to be in Python).  I can already stream images to the RPi.

I just haven't got around to doing it yet as there's always work and too many other things going on at Fluffy Towers.  But when I get around to it  I'll probably be retired (thank god, please, I'm ready!).

Hello

Thank you for sharing your enthusiastic technical weather station construction hobby.

Over 30 years ago we installed a pan tilt zoom camera on a tree that was located on the mountain side over looking

the Coachella valley Palm Springs USA.  The camera was dependable used a glass tube vidicon and a 130 mm zoom

lens yjay could view the home of Bob Hope...  The video image was overlayed with an ASCII character generator that

was printing data inputs from  temperature sensor  hygrometer sensor wind speed using a 9 pin old fashioned serial

cable from a single board computer operating Intel 8052 compiled Basic software code.  The maintenance was around

the lubrication of the camera pan and tilt and zoom  motors in the hot low humidity and cleaning connections during

the snow wet winter corrosion repaired later by soldeing all connections...    That was 30 years ago in the USA and so

we so;d the house and moved onwards today much older and electronics as a hobby  has changed into surface mount

integrated circuits that are a challange to repair with hot iron air blower solder stations and liquid solder paste ....

You should be aware that cheap IP cameras today have internal software setup menu and can be edited to for example

take a photo sensing motion or sensing sound and also trigger from an external plug wire connector that has built in

5 volt DC and use your temperature warning or rain warning etc switch as an input trigger to captire a photo..  The

IP camera menu also has provision to edit input  several mailto email address to automate sending photo to several

friends or perhaps even to this expat forum if the moderator permit a timed selected not a continuous barrage of

weather photo inputs to login as your user email and user password guided to this weather forum

Any way all the overlay ASCII video character generators and all electronics kits parts products are today assembled

in china and are available delivered very low cost direct to your home using postal mail...  It may take you several

hours of  investigating 1000 china online store agents offering different prices and bo cost delivery etc for something

as simple as a 3.7 volt Nickel Cadnium battery charging circui board using solar to charge your remote wifi weather

station battery equipment....

Ah, this is good stuff. You are right, it's difficult with that surface mount stuff.   I am not sure I'd be interested in monitoring Bob Hope. Probably we'd be in trouble for spying on the neighbours if we did that. I'm already "blocking" (on the camera) other people's houses/windows. It's feature of the camera SW.

The RPi has an bus interface for connecting various sensors or even its own camera.  The RPi is a fantastic piece of HW. If you haven't tried it, it's worth considering. It's amazingly good value - two HDMI ports, 8GB of RAM, Linux (Raspbian) on an SDHC card (no moving parts). There are many add on "HATs" you can add to expand it. You can add it on top to the bus and obtain all sorts of extra functionality like displays, mini-keyboards etc.  I plan to run mine "headless" (no display or keyboard). The RPi costs less than about $60. There's an even smaller one called the Raspberry Zero. All web enabled.

I power my RPi using PoE (Power over Ethernet) so I do not need a separate power supply wherever it's deployed. Because it's networked, the RPi does not need to be anywhere near the actual weather station. It just needs to be on the network. It can poll the data directly from the weather station and store everything in a dynamic database for display.  The weather station is configurable to send data to your own database.  I am using  the famous VLC on Linux for streaming images and I can probably add data display to it simply by generating "subtitles" for the video stream.  I haven't tried it yet as too much other stuff to do. But I don't see why it shouldn't work.

I should say my house is completely cabled for networking including in the roof spaces. My weather station and the camera are mounted on TV antenna hardware. It works fine, even in the winter. I'm use free SW at the moment to monitor the camera - it's called iSpy (Google it).

My weather station is similar to this one but with solar cells that charge internal batteries:

Bit hard to read without the Quote function. It's a bit difficult to read so I'll cherry pick.

I don't need a keyboard or display as I can just telnet into it or use a web browser to get to applications.   It's a fully functional Linux system.  Easy!

Just to say that iSpy (completely free) has automatic detection with alarms. It compares two images and if they are different it can generate a motion e-mail alarm and can be set to auto record with many different parameters. I can easily store the recordings (i.e. push) in the cloud directly or via a home server so they would accessible anywhere in the world without opening the camera ports directly.  We also have other sensors which are web enabled and they send alerts automatically by e-mail too. iSpy also allows controls like PTZ etc. I don't use any of that extra signalling. Might do in the future but didn't do anything yet.  Only  issue with iSpy is that it's Windows only. 

PoE is 48V normally. That's typical telecoms voltage.  There are other fixed versions for APs that use 24V but I use 48V supplied from a PoE network switch. I can monitor power consumption from the switch interface but mainly it's plug and forget. Some of the PoE elements in my network have been running years without intervention.

I think I'd be in trouble with the neighbours if I modulated an analogue signal plus it would be receivable by others capable of tuning in their TV. And simple PAL or SECAM would be the worst quality. What we do now is simply do is use fanless micro-PCs ("stick computers") that plug in the TV HDMI port so we can look at things in HD over the fixed network without blocking up bandwidth in the 2.4 Ghz band. It's really crowded everywhere around us. I monitor the band use using various tools and select channels that do not overlap with the neighbours - not that they care about my generosity. For WiFI in the house I encourage use of the less crowded 5 GHz band.

As we have UTP flood cabling everywhere, we have network connections in all the rooms and even in the garden and outbuildings except the bathrooms. The stick computers are powered off the PoE where we use a splitter to convert to USB 5V and with the network usually at 1 Gbps/port. 5V at 3A is more than enough to power a tiny stick computer with Windows or Linux. I tried transmitting HDMI wirelessly but it didn't very well - perhaps due to metal beams in the house reconstruction.

I haven't looked into it enough to generate some other stream to mix in with the digital stream but I reckon the easiest first attempt would be to poll continuously a directory with the latest weather data as a kind of dynamic subtitle. My weather station has an API interface so I can do a "get" to download the latest readings.  Someone has probably already done it but it'll be a home project for the winter to do some integration.

@fluffy2560

Hello thank you again for your time to explain tecnical weather station network connections....

Sorry about broken spelling have now big trouble over last 30 Our primarydays automatic updated Ubunti kernels and multiple USB and GNOME drivers on network 5 computers in the house...  Trouble shooting show the CPU operates at 100% intermittent so

perhaps a root core BIOS driver upgrade maybe develop multi tasking over load and interfere with keyboard and video on the buss

About your system it is very impressive and was assumed to operate over LAN cable and RF coaxial standard TV antenna cable

installed in every room. We use a UHF TV modulator about 4 pounds cost that is digital LED selected to a UHF TV open channel

but the TV must be connected to the standard TV coaxial cable deom your outside TV antenna or from your cable company box

as the source. The TV modulator is sold on AliExpress. The modulator connects after your TV cable box and it passes the outside

standard TV but also injects a narrow band UHF selected channel. The small modulator box has video and stereo audio input and

operates on 5 volt and has NTSC or PAL output to cable option. Necaue it is after your cable box the neighboors can not select the

UHF channel however if it is after your Aeiral outside TV antenna cable there may be a very small signal leak around your outside

TV over the air antenna....

Have tried Ispy APK from Google Play Store several tears ago gut can not remember why purchased TinyCamera Pro from Robert Chu

back in 2008 and have since stop using it because we have a 16 channel DVR using 4 camera and have not connected to the cloud

server yet since 2009 no need to broadcast our condo location and also the internet service speed was severely destroyed with

multiple reset demanded on our 100MB figer optice connection to the service...

You are correct about 2.4GHZ wifi and also as bluetooth now destroyed only 13 channels was assigned at various decibel strenght

and create serious interferance living in a packed neighbor house hold.. We have this trouble in a condo of 500 people all use wifi

so we switched to 5.4 GHZ wifif and restricted limit blue tooth head set etc..

+May suggest if you are stuck using 2.4 GHZ wifi networked interface to firestick etc USB TV / HDMI you can find cheap old 2.4 GHZ

routers as used parts and connect them as bridged relayed expanders set at low output powers to cover the house solid reception

as the stronger signal than your neighboor wifi interferance... However it is always better run direct cable and a cheap Linux mother board with HDMI output and SSD connected to your HDMI TV as the display monitor... If you measure a small HDMI output with a

SSD disk drive and USD Bluetooth mother board dimensions (abouts all the size of a lap top) it can all fit easy and attach behind a

32 inch LED TV using example as a suction cup installed in the mother board mounting holes... The mother boards no longer need

the huge 500W power supply and are available as laptop sticks to drive the laptop size mother board should you decide to take

on this mission....

We did it over 6 years ago and find it easy to use / upgrade / cool operated 5 rooms direct access internet TV display... The fire stick

Linux systems are great traveling and plug in at a hotel with wifi to internet and you already have it and use it at yopur house but it

is a wifi 2.4 GHZ dependant connection... Perhaps using two more older routers hooked up as a network repeated inside your house

may be other solutions....

You mention family in HUN and UK and waiting to retire soon as you travel back and forth? We been in London and Budpest but

was unale to locate a well stocked high tech surplus week end by the owners sales meetings.... Here in Thailand many UK tourist

left a fortune of high tech  products after covid departures the airline restricted all carry ons...  we find hundreths of CCTV DVD

older tablets etc for sale by Thailand people who salvaged all from trash bins and make money sales over the week ends

I keep busy at my old age repairing blue tooth bozes etc etc most have bad battery and or broken charger connections so stay

Very heavy rain showers today around Fluffy Towers.   Thunder and lightning too.   

Not surprising considering the warm streak we've been having.

Quite warm at 22C right now.   No wind to speak of.

Once again my plans for outside work in the garden is thwarted.

Hello thank you again for your time to explain tecnical weather station network connections....
Sorry about broken spelling have now big trouble over last 30 Our primarydays automatic updated Ubunti kernels and multiple USB and GNOME drivers on network 5 computers in the house... Trouble shooting show the CPU operates at 100% intermittent so
perhaps a root core BIOS driver upgrade maybe develop multi tasking over load and interfere with keyboard and video on the buss
About your system it is very impressive and was assumed to operate over LAN cable and RF coaxial standard TV antenna cable
installed in every room. We use a UHF TV modulator about 4 pounds cost that is digital LED selected to a UHF TV open channel
but the TV must be connected to the standard TV coaxial cable deom your outside TV antenna or from your cable company box
as the source. The TV modulator is sold on AliExpress. The modulator connects after your TV cable box and it passes the outside
standard TV but also injects a narrow band UHF selected channel. The small modulator box has video and stereo audio input and
operates on 5 volt and has NTSC or PAL output to cable option. Necaue it is after your cable box the neighboors can not select the
UHF channel however if it is after your Aeiral outside TV antenna cable there may be a very small signal leak around your outside
TV over the air antenna....

Have tried Ispy APK from Google Play Store several tears ago gut can not remember why purchased TinyCamera Pro from Robert Chu
back in 2008 and have since stop using it because we have a 16 channel DVR using 4 camera and have not connected to the cloud
server yet since 2009 no need to broadcast our condo location and also the internet service speed was severely destroyed with
multiple reset demanded on our 100MB figer optice connection to the service...

You are correct about 2.4GHZ wifi and also as bluetooth now destroyed only 13 channels was assigned at various decibel strenght
and create serious interferance living in a packed neighbor house hold.. We have this trouble in a condo of 500 people all use wifi
so we switched to 5.4 GHZ wifif and restricted limit blue tooth head set etc..

+May suggest if you are stuck using 2.4 GHZ wifi networked interface to firestick etc USB TV / HDMI you can find cheap old 2.4 GHZ
routers as used parts and connect them as bridged relayed expanders set at low output powers to cover the house solid reception
as the stronger signal than your neighboor wifi interferance... However it is always better run direct cable and a cheap Linux mother board with HDMI output and SSD connected to your HDMI TV as the display monitor... If you measure a small HDMI output with a
SSD disk drive and USD Bluetooth mother board dimensions (abouts all the size of a lap top) it can all fit easy and attach behind a
32 inch LED TV using example as a suction cup installed in the mother board mounting holes... The mother boards no longer need
the huge 500W power supply and are available as laptop sticks to drive the laptop size mother board should you decide to take
on this mission....

We did it over 6 years ago and find it easy to use / upgrade / cool operated 5 rooms direct access internet TV display... The fire stick
Linux systems are great traveling and plug in at a hotel with wifi to internet and you already have it and use it at yopur house but it
is a wifi 2.4 GHZ dependant connection... Perhaps using two more older routers hooked up as a network repeated inside your house
may be other solutions....

You mention family in HUN and UK and waiting to retire soon as you travel back and forth? We been in London and Budpest but
was unale to locate a well stocked high tech surplus week end by the owners sales meetings.... Here in Thailand many UK tourist
left a fortune of high tech products after covid departures the airline restricted all carry ons... we find hundreths of CCTV DVD
older tablets etc for sale by Thailand people who salvaged all from trash bins and make money sales over the week ends

I keep busy at my old age repairing blue tooth bozes etc etc most have bad battery and or broken charger connections so stay
happy retired we go shopping to the jacuzzi spa etc etc now plan 6 month Euro Schenzen Euro Rail tourist package travel.

We are in early stages of planning looking at Schenzen restricted passport times of travel the weather climate conditions to reduce

I wouldn't waste time modulating an analogue TV output as we're all digital. We don't have terrestrial broadcast TV anyway here but if we used it, it would be digital anyway. Everything is delivered via the digital cable TV system and decoder. We have a splitter box/modem for the Internet. The only persons watching the cable TV are Mrs Fluffy and our 13 year old. I never watch it and neither does our 17 year old. Nothing I want to see usually on the HU broadcast channels. Everything is on the Internet. Kids look at Instagram and TikTok. They don't really care about traditional TV. It's a new world.

We use WiFi for our phones - they all support 5 GHz. Our setup here is rather sophisticated by domestic standards. It's maybe what I would call "semi-professional".  We have multiple access points and WiFi devices can roam seamlessly between access points and indeed, the different bands. I can "steer" preferences for which band to use. That's for WiFi. But we have at least 40 wired connections in the house with sockets in every room. We can plug anything in anywhere. There's always at least 12 WiFi devices connected - phones, tablets, laptops.

We don't bother with Firesticks in hotels. We just take our laptops - I have to for work. I also take HDMI cables. It's hit and miss if it will work in a hotel as some places disable the HDMI ports on the TV.  It doesn't matter as I can just watch shows on the laptop. That's if I've got the time.

My situation is that I live in Hungary more or less full time since the pandemic hit and that stupidity called Brexit. I go to the UK regularly to see my father who is 99 years old and in some ill health. If I'm not here in HU, I'm usually working on some job in a far off land. Mrs F and the kids stay here as Mrs F has to go to work and the kids have to go to school.  We travelled the world before the kids arrived. I'm 63 this year and I'm a bit sick of working. After 30+ years, it's become too repetitive for me. I'd rather do something else now.

Best to be clear that it's a SCHENGEN visa, not Shenzen which is a very large city in China.

Hello and thank you for sharing your situation helo us understand better what

occupy our minds most of the time is what we must become...  I was born in

Hungary early 1940 on Radayi? ucca? My parents long dead managed a travel

buss company I was too young to undertand or remember any thing except I

did attend school and walked next door to a church on Raday street...  I also

remember my father punished ne when I as a small kid completely took apart

his office telephone to inspect what was inside... I have lost all memory after

leaving 1955 to Viena with my parents running clsosing and forced out of business

etc... 1956...   The doors open from that time onward and expanded education in

the medical X ray / Ctt /MRI/ telecom employment was in charge of the first CTT

total body computerized image scanner manufactured by General Electric Medical

Systems Wisconsin... So i we traveled a great deal and understand Ring and Tip

TELCO 48 VDC supply we talk abouts....

One picture you may want to analyize after observing the globe traveling to many

cpuntries is the changes all over the globe at a very fast cycles based on population

In 1970 there was abouts 6 Billion people compared to today abouts 8 Billion people

calculated  2050 to explode logrithmically?

If one looks at ONLY the USA budget deficit on paper at 32 Trillion USD that divides

down to abouts 4 thousand USD for every person alive today... The old days of a

single airplane ticket to fy around the globe in one direction with 5 stops is long

not available as TRW and Eastern Airlines buried in the past. We took Eastern

Airline hopped to all the Carebean SAINT islands and then much later in early

2000 St Croix St Thomas St john was a disaster review,,, The coral was dead the water

was grey murky there was no white sand to sit or clear water to snorkel all around

trampled by tourists and constructions... 

Where are we going? What is the purpose? What can we do to stay activated and

enjoy the remainder of life at old age? is all inside your head because what ever

occupies your mind most of the time is what you must become...  My family was

lucky to explore volcanos starting on St Lucia and Japan etc etc but we learned

every thing is changing very fast around us and trying to re live pictures from the

past is most of the time very disapointing...

We stay busy and have settled in South East Asia after examining global economics

and standards of the costs of 24 hour environmental climate surroundings of an

active living at our family  age past 76...  We try our best to stay active and keep

busy with electronics hobby because it was our education and work and the future

of the global survival...  Artificial Intellihence, work at home,  Fiber Internet, Digital

TV etc etc etc are all embedded inside global population future survival and that

means more advanced robotics / software / automation / to the point that travel

is no longer mandatory when a 3 Dimensional Holograhic glass over your head

can make you feel and be at a distant location... The same as aq doctor performing

surgery from the other side of the planet using a 3 dimensional tele medical view

of the organ cut under a scalpel... Then again using a small microwave dish to receive

and communicate with a sattelite link over head.... 

You seem to understand and are intrested in all this so do not be discouraged by

all the noise from people who are not in or with your occupied daily mind.  As

we all get older we all get senile we all get dead so there is only time remaining

to research and from analysis settle what to do where to settle down the remainder

of what is your life...

Raday Utca has become quite trendy with lots of cafes and bars. I don't go there myself.  Leaving in 1956 had its downsides but on the other hand, the opportunities in the USA, Canada, Australia, UK and everywhere else had to be better than a war zone.  A whole scenario essentially the same is going on now with the flood of Ukrainians in Western Europe and beyond.  They will take values of their adopted/safe countries back to Ukraine.  It will eventually come good.  In some odd way, the same with the Russians who oppose Putin and the war.  I believe 1.5M have left Russia for other countries.  Unfortunately it's the same here as it's a small place with small opportunities.  People are going to leave and the population will decline.

Body scanners are a marvel. It's incredible how far we've come in such a short time.

One of the most interesting things (and of course one of the negatives) is the amount of innovation going on during periods of war either declared or not. The amount of spin offs coming out of WW2, the Cold War and the Russo-US competitive and iconic space programmes (e.g. NASA) is just stunning. Things like Velcro, microelectronics and rocketry in general.  Things we take for granted now.

So there's a lot to celebrate but also there are also disappointments. I've been waiting for flying cars since I was a little kid and where are they? OK, there are some electric planes that could be used for short distances but I'm talking about Model-T levels of production of a proper flying car affordable to everyone. Ones that can go like 500km on a single charge, take 4 people, a dog and a load of luggage/bikes/camping gear. We could get to Balaton in 20 minutes with one of those. I expect it'll be difficult to park though. I want to land next to the water and not miles away at Siofok Airport.

And why aren't we already on Mars and the Moon with permanent installations?

Probably just within my lifetime (maybe another 20 years), we might just see those things arrive.

And in other news, it's quite cold this morning. Only 14 C at 06.15h.  Rain expected Monday and Tuesday.  So today (Sunday) is the day for any outside jobs. 

Mrs F told me ("reminded me") that some towns have by-laws on doing noisy outside work on a Sunday. I am wondering if that's really true here in Hungary.  I want to do some grinding, welding and drilling today. I hear people mowing their grass on Sunday and our neighbours are sanding their fence ready for painting. If they can do that, I don't see why I cannot do something noisy too.

I guess the Chinese and Russians will have the first permanent installations on the moon and finally confirm whether the Americans were there or not.

It's a bummer with the rainy weather, jut when I am about to come to Györ.

Lots of Russians went to friendly countries (e.g. Turkey, Georiga and UAE) for fear of being mobilized and for better opportunities. Many are still working remotely for Russian companies and many have bone back. Lots of Ukrainians went to Russia for a better life. Even more went to the West for a better life there. So far the majority stayed. Over the past decades quite a few Ukrainians/Russians have come to Portugal as well. Even in our small town we have shops that sell Ukrainian/Russian products. Plus we have an orthodox church.

If you want to go to Györ before the rain, you'd need to get there gyors.  That's a HUnglish joke (sort of).

When I was in the UK recently I went to a town near London and it had multiple Eastern European shops. Mainly it was Romanian and Bulgarian. I was discussing the war with Mrs F and we were wondering how long before the Ukrainian diaspora put down more permanent roots. Probably when they have kids, steady jobs, been there 5 years, they aren't going to come back until their kids have finished school. I was thinking about the 1956ers who had to make lives elsewhere. I guess many still want to come back to the motherland.

And yes, I've just come back from Obi (DIY shop) and despite the warm weather, there were a few drops of rain.  I'm intending to work outside on electrical work for our patio lighting. I'm going to use power tools. I do quite a lot of electrical work. But water (rain), electricity and humans do not mix well. Using power tools in the rain is not a good idea. Thinking of delaying the outside work in favour of dog walking with Mrs F. Really just prevaricating to see if it's really going to rain and finding it hard to have any enthusiasm for outside wiring today.

Temperatures now about 20C. Not as hot as yesterday. It was brutal in the sun. Even my phone complained it was overheating. I put it in the fridge.

I like the joke.

I think that a large number of Ukrainians that migrated West will not come back. Ukraine always was extremely intolerant towards its minorities (e.g. the Hungarians) and it was/is one of the most corrupt places in Europe. So the open orders are for many the chance of a lifetime. As a Ukrainian you can practically choose where you want to live, without any question asked whether you really came from a war zone. If I was in their shoes, I would make the best of the bad situation. Some rich ones came to Portugal (great place when with money), the poorer ones went to Germany (treatment like an unemployed German) and those with a minority language go the e.g. Hungary or Poland. I know one that went to Canada, which he likes very much. What an opportunity and all without going through a long winded visa process.

It was not too hot today, but still warm enough only 20°C with the odd rain shower which after a week with no rain we did need it. A bit of a change from last year when it was 31°C

I tried the "joke" (more wortspiel) on Mrs Fluffy and she said she can see what I meant but true HU pronunciation would lessen its impact. Ever the diplomat. I was still pleased with myself even with her subtle disdain for my HU language mashups. I am sure you'll appreciate the experience of being in a multi-national family. Looks like we're naturally making up our own language.  Kids throw in English and Hungarian words freely and we often use HU words for objects but with English sentences.

Many Ukrainians really will be more than OK.  One of my kids is trying to get resident status in Australia and it's a painful process. But Ukrainians get helping hands all over the place.  I've been to Ukraine quite a few times. Sure, it's corrupt. But that's what you get. Ukraine was never going to  change without some shake up. Hungary is about 10 years behind Russia in it's level of overt graft.  But like most corrupt regimes run by autocrats, eventually they burn themselves out.

I did my patio wiring and only a few drops of rrain. But it got too dark and late to actually sweep/hoover up.  I'll do it tomorrow if the rain holds off.

Hello every one and thank you for the Raday street update.. We now walked the street

over the street using GOOGL EARTH software and the red walk on the street icon to

navigate.

Located Bakats ter?   the old chuch temple is still standing and then past  walking

down Raday located the balcony where I threw water on people walking on the street

below as a kid at age 5...   Walk down to Danube remembered the perforated cover

of a  stadium ? Boats and the red flashes of canons fired from hill side across the

Danube to cebrate Magyar holidays... That was ~77 years past.... 

Google LLC has done a fantastic global street by street map in addition to standard

low orbit satellite video overlays so recommend you check and walk around your HU

locations examine from the street views of your past  adventures...

Changing subject on the attached expat.com attached images  are downloaded from active web sites that are already stored as an internet web address... What is the

problem if you want to upload your own private selected photo from your phone or

It may be an expat.com server storage space or virus scan addition to your photo or

Trouble with Streetview is it doesn't have up to date information.   My own street was updated 7 years ago. Things are very different now with improved buildings etc. It's almost unrecognisable.

The images are links no doubt  because of the storage requirement.  Better to use someone else's storage.  There are multiple services available to store images and link to them - Google for example.

BTW, if you click on my user name, you can see where I am. In the burbs, effectively District II more or less.

We should not doing Google's job for them. They need to drive down streets here again with their camera and car and monetise it themselves. Personally I've done web site development but we should not spend time on that or helping Google. 

At Fluffy Towers, we've got kids to grow, old and failing relatives to maintain, dogs to walk, DIY, holidays to get on with, cars to fix, gardens to garden.

Oh, and of course, some of us have work to do. Mustn't forget that even if we'd like to!

We all seem to be exhausted nearly every day trying to keep up with complicated lives. We need to simplify things.

One of my kids has a drone. It's quite good but susceptible to wind and limited duration. We also have a local airport (Farkashegy) so we cannot fly our drones very high nor can we use model aircraft of any size. We're too close to the flightpaths. 

It was nice and warm today but clouded over. I thought it was going to rain.

p.s. It's raining now at 0520h.  We've had 8mm of rain overnight.  And lower temperatures.  That's dog walking cancelled.

hello and thank you for your disclosure...

understand you are very busy

and have no time to apply your technical skills to deliver a photo of Fluffy Tower...

Have no idea if it is a store, hotel , business, etc but it is intresting from what you

have described as "red lobsters working in the garden outside"  We just wanted

a better photo picture and had no idea how busy you are working... We do agree

it is not a perfect world and we can only do what is inside our time lines to do...

We have received multiple weather reports from around the world. The reports

are severe floods, water damage, hill slides, heavy rains in the USA, Philippine,

Japan, India, Asia etc and turned the volume slowly fading into the ether as we

revise travel plans and stay around our present location. Perhaps next year may

me more ideal to travel as is at our age it would be a waste of time staying inside

hotel rooms instead of visiting Europe,,,

Fluffy Towers is just an expression. Like Fawlty Towers. My attempt at humour. 

The lobsters are the gardeners/landscapers working on our garden. They are getting close to finishing. Then Mrs F and I need to start work ourselves on our landscaping part. We hardly have time to do it. We just do what we can. I think 2023 is going to be a missed gardening year and it might take 2 more years to get the plants/layout right. We have more renovations to do on outbuildings.

More on topic, it's 28mm rain since midnight. We've got thunder as well but and rain was torrential. Currently, it's brightening up but it looks bad for the rest of the week with rain everyday. Only the plants aren't complaining.

It's not typhoon/cyclone standards like it has been in Asia/Pacific. I was there recently and Storm Mawar was just horrendously disruptive.

Update @ 21.35 - 56.6mm of rain since midnight, thunder lightning and power interruption. Thankfully nothing looks damaged in the power drop out. Mrs F says it's a particular saint day today which is always rainy. All I could find is Norbert, Norman and Cintia.   Saint Swithins Day in the UK is 15 July so it's not that.
