It started raining at 10am so postponed trip to town till after brunch. For once this plan worked. Bit of impromptu gardening when I got home - the buddleia is in flower and the rain had weighed down one branch so much that it partly snapped off, so I cut it off neatly.

It started raining again just as I finished doing this, so I timed today exactly right.

A lot of days recently where it starts off cool and grey, then turns hot and sunny but with untidy, 'steamy' skies rather than settled fair ones.

Really beautiful weather first thing - too hot for walking 5½ miles, so took the car. Took the new coolbag, which I keep in the back of the car, and an ice pack so I could get all my shopping while I was waiting.

Very dark in the morning, and then 3 hours' rain, which scotched my plans to go to Tescos. But by the time I'd finished typing up weather diaries, it'd stopped raining, and indeed as the afternoon went on it turned into a fine day. Suspect a warm front passage, so hopefully there might be some cold front excitement later. I love a cold front passage.

Everything in the garden damp, but yesterday I'd been wishing for damp conditions so I could weed the far patio, and I thought it best to go with the narrative, so spent ½ hour out there.
