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

[HurricaneSmith]

The north seems to have the best of it.

After overnight rain we have a mild morning with a thick mist hanging over our part of Sussex.

The rain is expected to return around lunch time, and we're going to get wet more than once today.

Glorious sunny day here. Temperature venturing up to 0°. Overnight frost on the outside of the velux windows.
Reminds me of childhood when the frost was inside the windows

Wall to wall sunshine again in Blackpool and should remain good as we head North.

Keep your eyes open bill as we're heading south and may pass each other

Forget the weather! How's the Great Diesel Hunt in Blackpool? That's the important stuff ...

No problem, available everywhere, but a record £107 to fill our little van!

Just looked back on my spreadsheet. First tank of diesel on delivery on 21 April 21 cost £88.34 for 72.00 litres. Going by today's price, that would have increased to £108.65. The trip to Spain is about 1850 miles each way so around £425 each way just for fuel, unless diesel in Spain is a lot cheaper ... 'This is going to hurt', springs to mind ...

Our Bank has just declared bumper profits; wonder if they'd like to sponsor us?

3 degrees and sunshine peaking from behind the cloud for a couple of hours; then general cloud for the afternoon and the taps get turned on again around 5pm

You made a wise move! Wind is whipping across from the Forth, blowing light rain/moisture in the air, 'that rain that gets you proper wet ...' as Peter Kay says; quite a wind chill factor too, feeling pure dead Baltic [I made the mistake of washing the car whilst having the M/Home new n/s front tyre balance weight replaced, after the 3 weeks old version fell off last night ...]

It's presently darker than the norm in mid December, and thoroughly miserable! Lounge lights on before 3pm!

It's been a rather nice dry day, and after a pleasant walk I started weeding the garden. The warmth is bringing Spring nearer.

Some drizzle this morning and 7 degrees. Should brighten up soon. 🌧🌥

 

[marchie]

The forecast says 5 degrees and cloud. The weather says heavy rain. Ideal for packing and washing the Van; the latter looks like it may be a soap free contactless rinsing only

Nice calm sunny day on the seven seas

 

[HurricaneSmith]

After yesterday's rain it's turned into a dry, bright day, here in East Sussex, with a light breeze and 10° high.
