      It's been a lovely sunny day in Dundee, and quite mild, about 13°. However, we are experiencing very strong winds, and the Tay Road Bridge has been closed all day. I see it's now opened to cars only from about 5.30 pm, a bit late for some of my colleagues who will have had to make a 40 mile detour via Perth.

        The first line-drying washing load of the year today: perfect drying weather - continuous warm sunshine and blustery winds.

          I'm everso glad you are enjoying this lovely weather, really I am, why, the moment I stepped outside into the grey drizzle yesterday I clasped to my bosom the warm thought that all my friends were wandering in shirt sleeves and drying their washing. Indeed, as I listened to the rain beating down at 2am this morning I again thought of the sun you might gain as I stepped outside, waterproof hood raised against the vile wind .... but you know, it was the thought of you all, soaking up the sunshine, that buoyed my spirits all day ....... Oh well, my day will come - eventually.

            Never mind Anna. From indoors it seems lovely weather here......but step outside and that biting wind is still there. We've never really lost it in this area.

              Do you live in/near Haverford West, Anna? (I only ask because every time I've been there, it's bucketed down! Admitedly, that's only three times - it would have been more [it's a lovely town] but we've been put off by the fact that it's always bucketed down whenver we've visited!)

                No Way! That's way out West, it's 129miles (or to show how European we are down by here) 208km away! It would take me 2hr and 48 mins. I could probably get to Marble Arch in the same time (ok, the Chiswick Flyover) No, No, what you must realise, is this. Most of Wales has a high moisture content, it accounts for our peach like complexions and a tendancy towards trench foot.

                      And it's coming down in bucketloads here.

                        <doh>! I suppose the "South-East Wales" in your "Location" should've given me a clue!

                        Heavy rain this morning in the Pennines - cleared up by 10:00-ish. Glowering dark clouds, but gently warm and refreshing air.

                          About 25oC here in Rennes, whacking great bright hot yellow thing in the sky, plus refreshing breeze.... Perfect!

                          Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
                          Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
                          Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

                              I was hoping to get in some tennis this evening given the more congenial temperature but the very gusty winds blowing hereabouts are off-putting.
