Blimey, Graham.
Sounds like Desolation Row down there between you and Norman!
Another 5hr sun here yesterday in the rain shadow (it's not working
yet today!) 60hr so far this month (;0)

I know Ken, 6.8 hours in the last 8 days!
Winter's bad enough without weeks of gloom.
I wouldn't mind but in the so called colder, brighter spells it's
still cloudy. We won't get near 60 hours for the whole month

Yes Graham, it really has been dire in our part of the country in
recent weeks. Any airstream, not matter what its origin, produces
endless cloudy skies. In this run of westerlies I think we've been
getting our rain, plus most of Ken's and a few other people's as well.
I drove down to Sussex yestreday and after passing Chesterfield it was
like moving into another world with dry roads and sunshine.Cloudy back
in Tideswell today but at least it was dry.

I agree entirely with your sentiments about the weather forecasts. They
really have been well wide of the mark for our bit of the country on
many occasions recently.

Who the feckless cares?
We get the weather we need, same as everyone else. This stuff is about to break and he thinks it is out to get him.
