It says sunny at 8. Can't see that at all. It's so dark out there.

It's sunny intervals or partly cloudy at 8am for you.

Yes, sun is out. After watching The Papers, I will be out in the front garden.

It's raining here.

Hi,

Yesterday was amazing; after a very miserable start to the day the sun suddenly came out giving a few hours of clear blue sky but it remained cold at a maximum of 7.5C; to celebrate this miracle I took Bron over to Wentworth Garden Centre for a trip out.

Back to the doom and gloom this morning so yesterday must have been our summer which I enjoyed very much because I completely missed summer last year.

The weather forecasters love to rub it in for us because we live East of The Pennines;

Here in the eastern portion of the colonies it is overcast, rainy and cool. A good day for reading seed catalogs and taking a nap.

It's been a warm day, sunny intervals but now cloudy.

Hi,

Our weather forecasters are brilliant when it comes to forecasting rain but rubbish when they forecast sunny weather.

Just another normal wet day here it being the usual black hole. I daren't take a nap waiting for the weather to improve Silentrunning otherwise I doubt I'd ever wake up. I played around on the keyboard this morning but after dinner I was so fed up of this dire weather I put on my old clothes and have just come out of the workshop; I took a vintage wooden radio down to the workshop having blown it up months ago when I switched it on; as expected one of the capacitors had blown up this being a class X2 0.1uF 275V mains suppression cap so not a difficult repair at all: I have plenty of these capacitors to hand.

I've been storing Holly short logs for woodturning allowing these to dry slowly under the bungalow so I thought I'd rough a couple of these down on the Graduate woodturning lathe into blanks; I'll let these settle for a short while to release all the stresses then turn lidded boxes from them; it was nice to get into the workshop; I wonder if I'll ever get into the garden?

Kind regards, Colin.

Quite right!
