Don't you just love weather?
Another day of weather avoidance, another day of working in everyone else's airspace but my own! (though some would say that is normal for me) 
I think we all (Pilots, controller, assistants and everyone else involved) did a good job today in trying circumstances.
To the Pilots: We do try to help where we can, please bear with us if we say no, it is for a reason.
I think we even managed to get through the afternoon without an argument between TC and Swanwick, there even appeared to be some co-operation and co-ordination going on. Better not tell the management hey, they might expect it to continue!
Take care out there.

Hey Northerner, were you doing South Co-ord at all yesterday? Kept getting told by Deps that she was being really helpful.
We had some great views of the CBs from the tower!

Hi Gonzo,
I did, but I also had a trainee yesterday, and there was another lass on who I think was doing a good job. But compliments are always accepted!
That's the trouble with TC though, we don't get to see the weather, just deal with it. Be nice to have a window....
Talk to you soon.

Northerner, you can always go up on the balcony. Or an unofficial observation by sticking your head out the fire door down the end behind Thames/SVFR.

We departed around 5pm from LHR yesterday after a long pause on the r/w waiting for the big red blobs to move away. The controller on 118.5 was terrific, co-ordinating with radar to try and accomodate our requests for a very non standard departure route. Once airborne, all the subsequent sectors were great too.
Just wanted to say a big THANKS to all involved. I know you'll say you were just doing your job, but Thanks anyway.
