On the BBC Breakfast forecast this morning the south-east was going to have
"a miserable day" - overcast with some heavy showers and a biting
north-easterly wind. Here in SW Essex, after the hazy sunshine of this
morning, there was broken cumulus. Some of it looked vaguely threatening
but there was no rain at all. Quite a pleasant mid-autumn day, in fact, and
ideal for working outside.

We had a shower here yesterday - it lasted all of 10 seconds, and
deposited 0.0mm (well maybe 0.01mm) - sigh.
