Went for final therapy session - it was her last day on the job, too, so we were both feeling very positive and parted on excellent terms.

So then I had one of those end-of-an-era journeys with my walk on to work, a pleasantly sunny day with fair-weather clouds. To think that once I thought I'd never get anywhere with therapy, and now all I need to do is keep practicing.

Coming home had fine view of cloud 'galleons' to the West, with virgae at the tops like sails. Took a picture for Facebook.

Alliterative date. Very dark in the morning till about 11am. In the afternoon tidied up the garden - looking a bit greener after yesterday's rain, but still largely brown.

Finally rained today. Everyone much relieved, I think yesterday was widely perceived as an ordeal. C. said so for instance.

Another really hot day, with some very bubbly, 'boiling' altocumulus.

At work J cajoled D into buying ice-creams. He very kindly got one for me too, I was quite touched

Got mushrooms on the way home so I could make mushroom & pea noodles, the sort of thing I like in hot weather.

Hot but quite cloudy, but that just seemed to make it hotter. W online compared it aptly to a furnace.

Later it was very hot, but autumnal, like some imaginary afternoon in the 70s, or the Conic Section bit in What Katy Did.

Weather rather nice today, but the shadows very black as the Sun lower than it was.

At 0530 a wonderful orange-and-grey sky, lighting everything up a delicate shade of orange. Took a picture but it came out too blue.

Have recently taken to checking the Met Office forecast for Dulchester before getting ready for work: glad I did today, because it warned me that a cloudy morning was going to turn into a hot day, which it certainly did.

Made rare use of Nytol last night as I'd been sleeping so badly lately. I'd forgotten it makes you feel sleepy the next day. So the gloom of a damp morning was intensified by this underwater effect.

Quite cool, grey start but turned into a fine, (very) early autumn day.
