A distracting sky this morning while on the golf course,
comprising an attractive assortment of Ac castellanus,
Ac floccus with virga (flying angels), Cc undulatus and
coronae around the sun. All of this has gone, leaving
some puffs of Cu humilis, a couple of Ac lenticularis
(cuttlefish), a patch of Ac translucidus and Ci fibratus.

There was thick fog last night (visibility 150m) when I
briefly surfaced from my slumber at 0200Z but the
clarity of the air this afternoon is excellent.
