Packed down here at the moment, hard to find room on a wave at the
moment ( www.sennen-cove.com/todaysurf.htm ) God only knows how packed
it would have been if it was proper sunny.

Oh, for any forecasters out there (or people that brief forecasters )
please stop making the assumption that everone leads the same standard
suburban estate lifestyle & just give the forecast. I don't have a
brolly, an overcoat, a deck chair, or a BBQ. The highlights of my life
aren't cutting the grass (though sadly it is growing at an excessive
rate) or taking my non existent dog for a walkies in the park. I have
no interest in the morning rush (whatever that is, IBS related?), and
am quite capable of opening my bedroom window on a warm night without
being told.

This suits me http://magicseaweed.com/Sennen-Gwenvor-Surf-Report/4/
and it manages to do it without telling me to take care when the tides
coming, to remember my sun block, don't enter the sea within 1 hour of
eating and that having a p**s inside a wetsuit is not acceptable
behaviour.

Sorry for the relapse, I'll be back to weather reports soon.

Blimey Graham,

Excuse my ignorance but what brought all that on?

Then again, I can agree and empathise with your sentiments.

But then again, if it is easy for you to live outside of the normal
'rat-race' (for the want of better words) as once I did when I lived in
London, then I suppose you are not part of the " suburban estate
lifestyle". I feel I am 'outside' that regime too but maybe it is because we
are the minority and so you have to except (patronising bit here) the
standard TV forecasts (which is what I think you are going on about). I
can't remember when I last watched a national TV weather forecast, a long
time ago methinks.

I threw a whole load of wildflower seed on my front garden last autumn.
Looks amazing now when the sun is shining with all the native species in
flower. Will mow it when all the flowers have seeded. Certainly attracts the
butterflies and bumble bees.

Light patchy rain here after a generally cloudy day (only 2.2 hours of
bright sunshine).

(22:55), 14.7°C, RH 80%, DP 11.5°C, 1014.7 hPa (R), Wind calm.
