Beautiful cloudless morning.

Wednesday, June 27, 2001

Couple of great thunderstorms in the night. First one at about 0100 the best - almost continuous rumbling, moving about 15mph, came as close as 2 miles. Usual mixture of scientific curiosity and being frightened.

Morning came, hot and clammy.

Tuesday, June 26, 2001

Very hot again, quite cirrussy with traces of altocumulus castellanus in the morning. Sun very high in the sky. After work once again trudged home in the heat.

Monday, June 25, 2001

Weather like yesterday, gorgeous and almost too hot. Read the Alfred Douglas biography at lunchtime in the empty, sunny library looking West across the summer valley.

Trudged home in the sun and dust. Very glad to get inside into the cool stairwell at home - and glad I drew the curtains before I went out in the morning, to keep the sun off.

Later rather peaceful with blue sky and evening sun on the leaves outside.

Beautiful weather all day, cloudless most of the day. Had all the windows open and sun streaming in.

Saturday, June 23, 2001

Came home in lovely summer evening. Even a cricket match being played near Bicknacre.

Friday, June 22, 2001

Another beautiful start to the day, but it clouded right over later.

Thursday, June 21, 2001

Exceptionally nice weather: cloudless and hot with a delicious northerly breeze to take the edge off it.

Wednesday, June 20, 2001

Beautiful weather, rather too hot at times. Sun very high in the sky - was able to have my bath with the light off. Was suddenly reminded of rushing back from the pub to my student room in 1991, to see if the sun was far enough round in the North-west to be visible therefrom at sunset.

Lovely weather.

Monday, June 18, 2001

Bright at times but rather cold.

Sunday, June 17, 2001

Gloomy, wet, cold day, brightening up later while I was at evening service - Communion celebrated by J. With so few people communion seemed to have extra power, and I felt God's presence more strongly, I think, than any time since my first communion. As if to underline this, the Sun broke through the clouds and shone down on us all as we knelt at the rail.

Waited in the rain for M. to turn up at the rendezvous - a bit like the rainy Saturday in Sid's Mystery Tours.

Heavy showers all day. One lightning flash 0.6 miles away in the afternoon, real clap of thunder with that one.

Friday, June 15, 2001

Another hot day.

Thursday, June 14, 2001

Weather hot again - rain in the evening.

Monday, June 11, 2001

Lovely bright, clear morning - went right off in the afternoon.

Sunday, June 10, 2001

Cold, grey weather.

Saturday, June 09, 2001

Lovely weather in the morning.

Thursday, June 07, 2001

Clear and sunny in the monring, turning grey and rainy later.

Wednesday, June 06, 2001

Grey and windy.

Tuesday, June 05, 2001

Grey in the morning, brighter later, then grey again with damp smell and feeling of impending rain.

Sunday, June 03, 2001

Weather very cold, windy. Had to start wearing a coat again.

Saturday, June 02, 2001

Grey, windy morning.

Friday, June 01, 2001

Weather grey, cool and windy.
