One of those little miracles last night, rained all day until 6.30pm when I was due to set off, when it stopped and dried out so quickly I  did a good fast hour and a half.

</obscure Aussie Vietnam War movie that no-one else has probably seen>

Which one?  Was it any good?
Never seen it myself but it has a good rating in IMDB, The Odd Angry Shot.



It's alright - rambles a bit and doesn't have a lot of structure but has a few good bits, enjoyable overall (has one really, really good gag but it would be a shame to reveal it).

Back OT, great to see the sun again  8)

Woohoo! The sun was out this morning :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure I even felt something that could be described as 'warmth' on my ride in to work (though that could have just been my colostomy bag leaking again).

No doubt be raining again by the weekend :(

Very sunny here. Just out to mow the lawn, then I'll wash and fettle the bikes.

we've had 1 day rain in over 6 weeks. There's been the occasional shower, but Stornoway has had its driest May on record.

Most unusualy, it's been sunny for 2 days here.  Actually very hot this afternoon, with no sign of change for tomorrow.
Made the mistake of driving up to Llangranog (now forever known as the Wowbaggers' hill) for lunch.  Overcast and chilly.  Quick rush back to our little micro climate.

Edited to read as I meant it to.  (Bloody mobiles!  >:( )

Bum.

It's still dry here, but very overcast. It's not for nothing that Saarfend (or at least, Great Wakering) is the driest place in Britain.

It's gorgeous up here again. Not a cloud in the sky.

I'm going to head out on the bike, cycle to the park up the road and sit in the sun with a beer or two. :thumbsup:

How grand to have a hill named after one ... but it should really be two, Basil. Mrs. Wow wonders whether your apostrophe could be moved beyond the -s! ;)

At this time of year our water starts to heat up around 9 a.m. I just watched the tank's thermometer record a 1°C increase in about a minute!
