Bright,warm morning but warning of a wild night coming. Got quite excited until I remembered I was reading the weather report and not a horoscope.

Fairly bright this morning, got up to 17°. It got cloudy and overcast this afternoon but it’s stayed dry.
A good forecast for the next couple of days, time will tell!

Wintry is the word. -4C, windy, wet snow and rain. Like Leeds in a bad mood. Had to walk home in it. Earbuds were a godsend.
Earlier, from my office window, I watched a guy doing leisurely, elegant handbrake turns in the carpark. I am sure he thought no one could see. Came close to disaster a couple of times.
Snow cued up for the next couple of days.

Impressive thunderstorm and heavy rain overnight. Just darkening up again for another dose of rain to start the morning.
Waiting now to see which roads are closed due to flooding and where the problematic landslips are today.

Sunny and dry with a cold wind.

Bright sunshine, light wind, feels like 13C and I am therefore sweating like a paedophile in a playground. I need to divest myself of the pullover

It's been lovely here all day....apart from the hour it took me to drive through Hamilton on a late Friday afternoon, to take Himself for his Covid booster jag....it rained the whole damned time I was driving 
When I passed my test all those years ago the examiner said to me that if I could pass my test in Hamilton I could drive anywhere with confidence....tells you about Hamilton's roads and drivers that does.
It was not a lot of fun between four and five tonight

Was gorgeous here today which meant the roads were full of the bank holiday gormless. I predictably spent the day at the allotment putting up bean canes and planting beans, and alternating that with drinking tea while talking bollox between biscuits and manufacturing vitamin D which has left me with a touch of sunburn.

Funnily enough I have, but I thought Birmingham was worse.
Truly, the worst bar none was the Shawhead interchange at Coatbridge when they were building the new M8 to Eurocentral.

The Eucerin Actinic Control SPF 100 offers high protection across the entire UV spectrum and helps to prevent Actinic Keratosis, a pre-cancerous skin disease, in part caused by induced UV damage. A high SPF is more effective as it blocks out more UVB rays which leads to more protection. This...

As a once ginger type I know I should take more care and my kids take the pish every year. I even have factor God knows what in my shed so I've no excuse and my solar keratosed ears, hands and forearms should be a constant reminder too. That said, I think a fear based industry has grown out of this, when in truth at my age solar keratoses are unlikely to become squamous cell carcinomas and if they do, they're unlikely to see me off and the same can be said of a rodent ulcer which stays local (I have old textbooks with amazing pics of them). If by chance I get and MM then the old adage that by the time you find it, it's metastasised and you're a dead man walking is still pretty much true. There's probably more chance of me getting sun in my eyes, tripping and falling through the greenhouse.....and here's me slathered with SPF 100
