Rain had been forecast, but hadn't turned up, so went out to mow the lawns at 2.30, only to find a fine rain had just begun. I carried on anyway, mowing the lawn in the rain always makes me think of The Great Gatsby. Carefully oiled the blades afterwards.

Came inside and wrote the basis for a proper search prog for my weather blog - I waste much time every day spotting weather refs and then wondering if I've already blogged them. I have a text search prog but it's quite crude, and this new one is a scanner for the Atom XML format that the export is in. It uses the incremental XML parser I wrote a few years ago.
