Weather Report..................

A lovely day on Gibraltar today with a mix of clear blue and patchy cloud. It was a tad windy at the top of the rock:

I share 99.9..........% of my genes with these close relatives.
Hence the obvious similarities in our features and intelligence.

It’s been dry and quite mild here today now tonight it’s a slight frost here at County Durham
 
Right on cue, the rain arrived just before midnight. Too gentle to clean the roof off, before connecting to the cisterns.
A Hooley blew in from the west, at 3. I leapt out of my lovely warm pit, dashed out and connected up. Slipped back in beside my lovely bedwarmer. As I drifted back to sleep the wind got heavier and the rain got lighter.

She claims not to heard a thing.
Only a couple of mm of rain.. We average 75 a year.. So plenty more to come.
About a week's supply gone into the tanks.. And the garden irrigated for the next couple of days.
Max 14 expected, in the shade... Brrrr,( andy ) weather. !
 
I went to sleep with a clear view of The Rock last night:

.............but, as Paul reports from Portugal, the wind started howling and rocking the Moho during the night. I gave up about 3 a.m and moved a couple of kilometres up the coast.
This morning I awoke to a great view towards Morocco:

................ but the wind was still howling and the rain started lashing down.
I decided to drive north through the national park towards Seville but really couldn't see much of it with visibility generally no more than 750 metres, though I did drive right under a rainbow at one point:

That must be a Spanish phenomenon.

So have we Trixie, been waiting for it to melt so I don't have to scrape it :) Blue sky and sun in Buxton today but we are getting weather warnings for snow this weekend :(
 
Chilly 10 degrees, sunshine and light clouds.
Had to put a sweater and sunglasses on at breakfast.
Gentle walk into the village, A brandy arrived with the coffee, at the bakery..15 degrees is definitely winter.
