What’s with that weird sky! It’s the sort of sky I expect to see alien space ships fly through.

Yes! It’s sort of orangey peach round here, and the light is really odd.

Haha I’ve just looked out the window and my thoughts were ‘ooh pretty’ followed by ‘oh that’s a slightly weirder mix of colours and the way round they are to normal’

BabyStopCryin · 14/08/2023 20:30

Ooh yes. Very weird tangerine and pale blue marbled sky. Aliens.

CantThinkOfANameAtAll · 14/08/2023 20:30

Any pictures?

Not in London but it's grey and drizzling and miserable here. Would love to see colour for a change.

BabyStopCryin · 14/08/2023 20:33

It won’t let me - sorry?

tinkrbell · 14/08/2023 20:34

The colours don’t quite show properly in these photos. This is Wimbledon

It’s going over now, but a few minutes ago the whole sky was that peachy orangey colour.

No - but I'm reading War of the World's so clicked on this thread! Mentions skies like this.

That happened in my area of the north last night. It was amazing! Starting pouring down about 10 mins later.

peeinthepool · 14/08/2023 20:46

I read that recently as always been terrified of the film as a kid, but now have a weird interest in it. Some of the language in it, you can certainly tell it's an old book. I had to Google what "ejaculating" meant, when it wasn't written in the term that I thought it meant 😜

I'm finding it surprisingly boring for what the book is about!
