Outside my office window
Our American friends in DC were also struggling with the heatwave earlier this month. Just came across this nice shot of a wind turbine and I thought you might be interested in this photograph of the wind turbine just outside my office in Suffolk. The turbine is standing more or less on the most Easterly point in England!
I don’t know whether it looks nice or not to be honest, but it’s a bit of a distraction on a sunny morning. You get a strobe effect in the office—when it’s windy, the tips of the propeller are going at 110 miles-per-hour and that’s what creates this effect that’s distracting. Anyway, we’re about used to it now and if not, we shut the blinds but it’s a pity to do that on a sunny morning…
We’ve a few things to report which I will do when I get a bit of time later on.

Just noticed your blog mentioning wind turbine.
Hope you and other members of staff are prodding head office to become more environmentally friendly.
Have you see the different shapes you can have for wind turbines. I haven't got the site address in my head , but if you search for "wind power" you should reach it. The ones I like run on a vertical axis, and move at all wind speeds and are particularly suited for towns where wind direction and speed varies.
I hope that all your buildings which hold freezers are heated by the warm air produced, so that fossil fuel can be dropped.
