And Here's The Weather - continued...

Rain now, rain later - rain all morning...

My attempt to complete Mission 101 Task 4 - Walk to another town and back in a day is cancelled. It really couldn't be any worse - and it's such a shame for the air-show, too...

Maybe next year - if there's a show next year.

Update - 1049 Surprise FUCKING surprise - the rain is flipping me the bird by holding off, and the sun is now shining. Seriously pissed off right now.

Update - 1150 The BBC weather forecasts are BOLLOCKS. It says "heavy rain 1000 to 1300" - I haven't seen one drop since about 0730. If I try to set foot outside to go and watch the display from the harbour, it willpiss down on me. I can sense it...

Update - 1505 Stayed home. It started raining about 15 minutes ago, and may just be concluding as I write. Lots of low(er) cloud cover may be limiting the display quite a bit. Saw Patrouille de France earlier - bet some not at the base thought it was The Red Arrows...

Update - 1605 The clouds start to break up for the end of The Red Arrows' display. Guess we've had all the rain we were going to get, dammit.

A Bit More Perspective...

Tomorrow, the tenth anniversary of 9/11. It does not feel like that long.

I'm really hoping this anniversary doesn't attract any kind of "backlash"; the sort of thing mentioned in the news these last few days. Sunday is also the first full day of the new football season... and that doesn't bear even the vaguest contemplation...
