Going to be rather wet today I think!

Going to be rather wet today I think!

We had it yesterday afternoon, evening and through the night. Cleared up now - very pleasant day but a bit of a breeze. It may be with you dreckly!

Odd how often Southampton is on the line between weather systems and areas...

The Solent?

Bracing and very distinctly chilly or worse N/NW wind. Dry.
Plenty of sun / fleeting cloud - so far!
But yr.no predicts rain later............so?

Felt this morning as though the Solent had come into town and was stalking the High Street...shaking wet locks all over us poor mortals.

Yes it did, and I'm in North Bucks!

Now you know what us Mancunians have to contend with.

The Solent?

My related alternative on #1305.

There was a window of opportunity between 9 and 10 this morning which I seized for the volunteer gardening and just managed to finish what I'd planned before the drizzle turned to proper rain. Since then cold, wet and windy, with no obvious sign as yet of let-up.

I'm about as far as you can get from all the scale 10 flood alerts and it's still a torrential downpour, good luck Manchester & dwellers near the Solent!

Almost 5 p.m. and still bags of sun, big wind, fells look fantastic.

The sun emerged here during the broadcast of CE yesterday, and as the wind dropped and more blue sky appeared during the rest of the day the temperature gradually rose, although not into double digits. This morning was sunny early but getting a bit hazy. So long as it stays dry and gets warmer rather than colder I shall be happy as I'm going up town to visit 2 exhibitions and don't want to be encumbered by waterproofs etc.

Sunshine for the walk to the polling station and back. I like to check that the people I expect to be in position are there early in the morning. Very nearly abstained for the first time in my life but I wrote to the head of one of the borough's parties a week ago. In my e-mail I said I wouldn't take one step out of bed unless I got a decent response from him on woodland issues. The reply within 36 hours was so comprehensive, civil and even heartfelt that I could hardly not vote. But I don't expect it to make any substantial difference to the outcome.

... and I hope they doffed their caps to you.

One of the candidates was there.

New for this ward although he used to be just across the boundary.

I said, pointing my finger, "you are "x", aren't you" and he said "yes". I said "good luck" and he said "thanks" in a tailing off sort of way.

He looked a bit wary as if he had seen me before rather than just being in receipt of my e-mails so I think his team had provided him with a photo and defensive briefing notes.
