Lunch was a roast pork and apple sauce wholemeal bap

The forecast was this it would turn sunny this afternoon. Instead, it's raining, and so dark with low cloud that I had to put the kitchen light on to see what I was doing

Morning.

Dry.

Sunny.

Blueish sky with high white cloud.

20.5 deg in here.

1011 mBar, 29.85 in Hg, 65% RH.

Monday.

Telex machine gleaming again.

Walk (abbreviated) walked.

Two hedges trimmed.

The self planted & extremely vigorous rose has been massacred which should keep in some sort of check for another year, though in two years it'll be back.

Some brambles cleared from next door's path to save the poor bloody postman from the thorns.

Lunch: poached tomato and scrambled egg on nonblue Morrisons wholemeal sunflower and spelt bread, a bramble jelly sandwich on crust of same, a red corner yog, 0.91 pints of good Glengettie tea.

Entertainment: Car SOS: Lotus Elise.

Well I've certainly got sommat in my eyes after that one.

At least she got to drive it a little.

Managed to strim the front lawn before the deluge began.

Either there's sommat wrong with my eyes or it's getting darker & darker.

And, with that, the deluge begins.

"They"'re replacing the tarmac on the road today.

Picked a fine day for it.

Not.

The rain it hammereth down, so I've closed the windows.

There's torrents flowing in the gutters of the road.

Morning all

There's blue sky again. With quite a bit of fluffy cloud. Currently 16 degrees with a high of 20 expected later. Rain due early evening. Barometer up to 1009 mBar.

Took a while to get to sleep last night and didn't sleep all that well so it's going to be a struggle this morning.

Today's Kantar diary fact is:

Morning denizens

Grey start out, though not in an ominously gloomy way, and no rain predicted. Currently 13°C but the soothsayers reckon it could get to 19° this afternoon; barometers up at 1007/1015mB

Just remembered I haven't made the bed

Good save

[NickFitz]

Turned rather sunny here towards the end of the day. Apparently we won't get any more rain until Wednesday

Getting an early night now, as there's another of them there Mondays tomorrow

Goodnight all
