Today's weather forecast was not very inspiring and the reality has proved to be pretty horrible, as promised.
I didn't feel too great this morning so did not go in for my usual Hospice volunteering shift. As I sat here on the sofa, browsing through holiday sites on my pad I saw a large bank of menacingly black cloud rolling across the sea, swallowing up the castle on its little promontory on it's way towards us.
Sure enough, it is now too dark to read without a light on and the rain is lashing against the windows.
Well, they did promise squally showers and that's exactly what we have.
The outside thermometer shows 11C - did someone mention an Indian summer? More like a monsoon.
We have had another lovely day here in the east. It was 21C this afternoon. It is getting windy now and has gone cloudy, looks like we are in for rain in the night.
ReplyDeleteWe have gale force winds here now and P has been out twice to rescue the plant pots in the garden. The local news is advising of fallen trees blocking some roads and the ferries have been cancelled. I hope your evening fares better.
DeleteWe have had squally showers but recently the sky has cleared - according to the weather at the end of the News it is going to get a bit better towards the end of the week. I ordered a new electric blanket yesterday - a sure sign we are now due for an Indian Summer.
ReplyDeleteHoping ours clears up tomorrow for our visitors.
DeleteWere you really sitting on the sofa or lounging back like Jacob Rees-Mogg on the front bench?
ReplyDeleteToo cold and windy out there on our front bench
DeleteTime to plan another sojourn in the sun? Still summer here but not those extreme midsummer temps
ReplyDeleteI am tempted....
