<p>This pretty much sums up the whole of this May. Tantalising glimpses of sun with storm clouds omnipresent.</p> <p><img src="http://www.nik.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2012-clouds.jpg" alt="Gathering clouds" title="Gathering clouds" width="800" height="1074" class="size-full wp-image-215" /></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?a=zYtQsxuJqXg:ffdkBHk-b0M:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MeeesterNik/~4/zYtQsxuJqXg" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://www.nik.co.uk/photography/gathering-clouds/ Nik http://www.nik.co.uk/?p=211 2012-05-13T18:54:38Z 2012-05-17T08:53:21Z

<p>I don&#8217;t miss the train to that London and back. Twice a day, every day, commuting to the city feels like a lifetime away. If you have to do it, though, an empty compartment, coffee and a Kindle make it just about bearable.</p> <p><img src="http://www.nik.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2012-train-coffee-2.gif" alt="Coffee on the train" title="Coffee on the train" width="390" height="293" class="size-full wp-image-234" />&nbsp;<img src="http://www.nik.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/2012-train-kindle-2.gif" alt="Kindle on the train" title="Kindle on the train" width="390" height="293" class="size-full wp-image-236" /></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?a=h2YvGUdiXtw:WPTFoO4eX74:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MeeesterNik/~4/h2YvGUdiXtw" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://www.nik.co.uk/photography/to-that-london/ Nik http://www.nik.co.uk/?p=207 2012-05-13T18:52:48Z 2012-05-15T08:50:44Z

<p>Yes. I&#8217;m not sure where France is going with this one, but it&#8217;s fantastic. Deserves to win, but almost certainly won&#8217;t. Sweden is the favourite, although I don&#8217;t see it myself.</p> <p><iframe width="799" height="436" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/SnSmB7uBo-Y?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p> <div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?a=_7JK1oCNEBs:e2okTZkcRhI:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/MeeesterNik?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/MeeesterNik/~4/_7JK1oCNEBs" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://www.nik.co.uk/europe/eurovision-2012-france/ Nik http://www.nik.co.uk/?p=183 2012-05-01T13:48:52Z 2012-05-02T08:47:40Z
