There I was, grafting away all last week to earn my pennies and feeling a
bit miffed that I wasn't able to make the most of all this lovely sunshine.
Still, not to worry, because we were being told to expect an even hotter
weekend with sunshine a-plenty.

So, with Sunday being billed as the hottest of the two days, we'd planned to
chill out in the garden and bring the weekend to a close with a BBQ.

Now I know that most of England was baking on Saturday, except in the north,
where I live. Here it was mostly dull and overcast and was interspersed with
patchy rain. Sunday has been even worse... still overcast with a couple of
showers during the morning then continuous light rain since lunchtime.

Far from sizzling, it's been rather cool and a generally disappointing
weekend if like me, you were hoping to make the most of the promised
sunshine. Did I not pay full attention to the weather forecasts or was this
dismal outlook not expected?
