We were forecast heavy rain all day. We certainly got the glowering clouds scudding past, but very little rain. I was out into the garden like a scalded cat.
Quiet night.
Rain due to ease .
The Weather Fibbers are offering differing opinions.
Gardening is so much easier, says Management.
I'll take her word for that.
Morning.
No ovenight rain.
Sticky 19 degrees .
No wind.
Thunderstorms about. Massed attack of Stormflies.
Ominous clouds coming from the South.
Dare we risk a little light gardening ?
Probably not.
Mustn't grumble.
Miserable, misty, murky moist morning. 15 degrees.
Gypsy market, mostly a washout.
No Piri Piri .
Bought a few bedding plants and back for coffee and winter brandy.
Looking better already ..
But they've just changed the forecast :
They say 98% chance of rainfall and 38% of a thunderstorm.
Good afternoon for a siesta.
.
After a wet week and a full laundry basket...
Checked the two least inaccurate websites and assured Management that .." THERE WILL BE NO RAIN UNTIL THURSDAY. "!
Machine on , overnight.
You can guess the rest.
The house will be like a Chinese laundry..
At least we'll not have to irrigate.
Late on weather forecast parade. I can't even use the excuse that yesterday I had been at the RAH watching Mahler's Symphony of a Thousand, which I had.
The truth is that it simply chucked it down early morning, brightened up later whilst I did some voluntary work in the fields, remained bright in the afternoon whilst we both swept up leaves, and became cold and damp all evening. So the forecast of a manky old day was correct.
