    Well, they're spot on down here - they always are when it's gonna be wet!

      Quite a dull day today. Sun later?

        Led my wife into believing that we would get some washing dry outside today. Plenty of wind and not actually raining as such but very humid. We might be lucky.

          Shafts of sunlight occasionally breaking through - but what excellent visibility today! and what a splendid skyscape: stratocumulus so neatly rolled out in lines aligned SW/NE one might think the Celestial Roller had been at work!

            With a fresh sou'westerly blowing and temperature of 12 C going on 13 C I've taken my chances on using the communal washing line. Normally it would be hard finding a space on Sundays, but so far, no one has cottoned on - pun intended!

              Tempest rising up here with non-stop rain as we go into the real night.

                How predictable is the jet stream path? Higher clouds have been in very rapid movement.

                  SA, interesting question here.

                    Wonderfully bracing day oop 'ere. Stiff breeze, but sun and promise of more.

                      Continuing 'lively' weather an ongoing concern for me, as I'm waiting for a roof repair. If it's dry then it's too windy(as this morning), but when the wind drops it seems to trigger heavy rain(this afternoon), also not suitable. Apart from the problem of water getting into the loft through the missing ridge tiles, there is also the risk of high wind/gusts getting under the exposed pantiles and unzipping them. Fingers crossed for tomorrow - the scaffolding is up and waiting.
                      On the plus side(sort of) there was a very colourful sunrise this morning, and now the clouds have cleared to pretty tufts in a sunny blue sky, highlighting my winter flowering cherry and a reminder that the days are getting noticeably longer.

                          Ah right!

                          Sunny day down here at the moment, as I think rain is forecast for later. I have to see the vampire nurses at some point today, for my visit to my specialist next week.

                            They'll take your blood, Bbm - the only problem being, having got it, will they privatise it???

                            Beautiful morning here, just right for cycling down to St Sprees in Lower Sydenham and getting myself a new pair of corduroys, as I'm looking almost indecent with the holes in my present ones being where they are! That particular Sainsbury's branch, the largest in the country as we learned a few years back in a TV doc on management training, resembles a giant space ship externally. I was very happy this morning to note the return of the starlings, frightened away as they were a few years back by the introduction of distressed starling calls on the external PA. In the words of the old song, starlings are my darlings.

                              Just a short walk from my first school, Adamsrill. To get back on topic, my first memory of walking in what for me at the time was deep snow (probably no more than 15cm) dates from trecking home from that school through Mayow Park and on to Wiverton Road, Penge.
