Well, I wasn't bothered.

Probably best, at your age you need to take it easy.

Thanks Johnny - I presu,med not as you were the person who mentioned Helen Shapiro in the first place, and I commented that my parents had mentioned her. Had I written-down my parent's ages, it would have been indiscreet, both towards you and them.

Maybe worse for me than them Chris ... but all is forgiven if you just manage to figure out a dry ( if not warm ) forecast for your old m8 !

I'm afraid this week isn't to promising; we're in a longwave trough with areas of low pressure moving slowly across the country. Next week ought to be an improvement, though. Given the last few month's worth of rainfall, your area could quite reasonably have some drier weather. Down here, though, we need the rain. It hasn't been notably sunny or hot, really, just cloudy, cool and dry.

Siling it down here - yellow rain warning just covers us. The garden's happy though, busy going green and growing stupid amounts of weeds. Though last week was blazing so I can't complain (which is obviously untrue...shouldn't complain?)

As yet, after a windy end to yesterday, this morning has had a gentle breeze at most. That said, the next band of rain is slowly moving this way, so the wind may pick up later.

Right - a few minutes after I typed that, the rain has arrived and it's suddenly become very gusty!

Dutton on the weather for the weekend:

Absolutely howling at mine Monday and most of yesterday, no trees down but a flat garden in places. Glad it's looking (slightly) more reasonable for the weekend.

I know, the wind has been very awkward here as well, Colum. We've had some damage to plants that were given to us a few weeks back.

Liam Dutton's posted a very interesting cloud type I had barely heard of, so, after learning something about it myself, I thought you might also be interested.

 

[Count of Undolpho]

Whoopee!

Whoopee!

According to the forecaster on duty at lunchtime, today (June 13th) is the only date in meteorological summer that has never seen 30C anywhere in the UK.

Not due to where I live, unfortunately.
