Fog came in here this morning, lifting now; very chilly earlier at 2°C, switched on heaters in dining-room and hall as well as heat-pump in living room.
Now 7.5°C going for 12°C.
Not heard as many shotgun blasts as in past years on the first day of shootin' season.

I hope there aren't any "Well, he looked like a duck to me" incidents.

Sometimes happens...
"I didn't know it was loaded"
"I leaned it against a fence while I climbed over and it went off"
etc

The Sun has risen, it is 2.3°C outside, expecting sunny and mostly clear all day and 13°C.

Duck-shooting season starts tomorrow and I see the forecast is for mist/fog first thing.

So peaceful...

Good morning, sunny with blue skies, 13mm of rain yesterday; now 3.9°C expecting 13°C.

The street seems very quiet, no passing traffic at all.

I see I have some pink roses in flower by the front steps.

My tyres are nitrogen-filled. There are people to deal with that

I can only afford 78% nitrogen.

The Sun, he shines; 8.3°C; blue dome so far as I can see.
Expecting 19°C.

But watch this space tomorrow.

Was supposed to have been sunny ages ago here, cloud/low overcast finally burning off and I think the wind has changed, sun now peeking through.
12.2°C expecting 17°C.

Hope the rain soaks in, OFSO.

Was a perfect blue-dome day here, now twilight with a pale gold sunset. No clouds at all.

Good morning, clear sky, sun illumining roofs and chimneys of houses across the street, 5.3°C expecting 17°C.
