"Nothing But Blue Skies" is a humorous fantasy novel by English author Tom Holt. It was first published in the UK by Orbit Books in 2001.
The plot of the book concerns a Chinese Dragon, Karen, who falls in love with a mortal, Paul, and so decides to become mortal herself in the hope that they get together. However, she is not any ordinary dragon; she is the daughter of the adjutant-general to the Dragon King of the North West. Naturally her father is worried and comes to look for her, but he falls foul of the Weathermen, who consider dragons their sworn enemies. The Weathermen though fall foul of a government plot to cause a drought in Britain as a pretext for invading Australia. Actually, this is also a cover for the real reason. Paul is really the runaway son of an Australian global media tycoon, who wants to lure the dragons to his outback hideaway. Here he uses a machine to disarm their abilities in order to use their 'third eye' as a super-efficient mode of multimedia communication.
Nothing but blue skies in song alludes to a great future ahead. And there is another Simon Baker in Australia who I think is also a business tycoon, strange.

There’s no telling how The Mentalist will end, once its seventh and final season comes to a close. But we can give you a provocative look at how the CBS drama’s farewell run begins.
In the final season opener — which airs Sunday, Nov. 30 at 9:30 ET/9 pm PT and is set two weeks after the Season 6 finale, in which Jane and Lisbon professed their love for each other — it appears Jane has some ‘splaining to do to FBI Agent Marcus Pike, whom Lisbon was poised to relocate to D.C. with.
This second photo, meanwhile, comes from Episode 2, in which Lisbon goes undercover in a prison.
The Mentalist will call Sundays home until Jan. 7, at which time it moves to Wednesdays at 8, ultimately wrapping its seven-year run with a two-hour series finale on Feb. 18. New to the cast this season is Make It or Break It star Josie Loren as Michelle Vega, a rookie fresh out of the FBI Academy.
I think its really interesting that Jane is going to have to come face-to-face with Pike. It sounds just like what would happen in real life. A man doesn't get away with taking another man's woman without having to answer for it. I find it interesting because Mentalist fans on other websites have been saying that they're a bit "over" this show because Jane always seems to get away with his antics and never has to answer for them. My response: The show is about him. He's the lead character. It really wouldn't be a show without him so yes, he gets away with most things.
I actually like that he gets by with all of his antics! That's part of what makes Jane a fun character to watch. I do love the photo!! Oh my a picture does speak louder than words sometimes......
I too love that he gets away with the most outrageous things. It's part of what makes Jane such a fun character to watch but it does bother some people ................
He is smart, much smarter than other people, and that's what helps him to get away with most of the thing he does. That's why this character is so special. That's what makes him interesting. Now that we are so close to the start of the final season, I'm getting more and more excited. There is always this little bit of sadness with it, but right now I try to focus on the new episodes and to look forward to it. And most of the time I try to think positive, so there will come something good from the end of TM ...I often prayed for something so hard and it doesn't happen, and in the end it was good that things turned out how they did ..and that it was even better that way than the way I wanted it. I'm sure, even if the loss is so painful, something good will come out of it that TM ends now ...
Jane has had a traumatic past and as a consequence is a unique character and yes he does get away with the most outrageous things but at the end of the day this is an entertainment show and it is fun to watch his antics. However, he doesn't always get away with his actions....being imprisoned by Bosco for "eavesdropping" and being put in detention by Abbott are just two cases in point and there must be others. We get enough drama in real life (you only have to look at the News). Personally one of the reasons I love the show is to see what elaborate plan Jane has come up with....and he does close cases!
I agree with you ladies! I think that Patrick Jane is the best character on network television. I love watching the way his mind works and I love his antics. But there is an element of the fan base that feels he is no longer a believable character because of the stuff he gets away with.
I laugh uncontrollably every time someone punches Jane in the nose!

Well I guess those people haven't embraced the premise of the show. But there are always people who claim to like something and then spend all their time criticising it (I believe the psychological reading of people who enjoy the 'bashing' activity is that they are often under-achievers who have a need to make themselves feel superior. So I suppose we should feel sorry for them - but I don't, I just try to avoid them ).
