Things usually seem better in the morning so I hope that applies to you both. It is a very worrying time.

We are promised hail showers today.
Yesterday turned out much better than forecast so I got kitted up but when I went out the rain started. Decided since I was out anyway to take the car round by Dervaig to see what that looked like since I have not been there for a couple of years probably.
Went down towards Salen on the Glen Road and met only one vehicle, a large truck on a place too narrow to pass so had to reverse about 200 yards with about 12 inches tarmac on both sides and deep ditches.
Reversing is no problem but driving for about 8 miles on roads with the tyres on the edge of road surface and ditches both sides needs a lot of concentration.
Looks to be an improvement in the forecast next week so fingers crossed.

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
According to my weather ap I can expect rain in about 30 minutes, or 5.

Good day to you all. Wet, cold, grey and windy. Our next decent day is forecast for Monday. I'm getting fed up with this.
@Dave7 hope there will be good news later today. Earlier you said the paramedic told you there is no cure for long Covid. I'm not qualified but what I've read suggests this is not accurate. The view seems to be as many aso onemillion could be effected, there is little medical understanding of the causes and people present with a hugely varying range of symptoms. The approach being taken is to treat individuals according to their symptoms.
I'm off to the allotment now to sow seed. I've made a flask of coffee to take with me. Mrs P smiled quietly at that!

Its bright and sunny here now, with a biting strong cold wind, the type that blows straight through you. Tesco shop done, Goodyears End road on the way to Tesco's this morning and a Muntjac Deer crossed the road in front of me. Market shop to do next, and a trip to Sarnies on the way back for a takeaway sandwich.

We call that a lazy wind here.

Just on this....what weather apps do folk here find to be vaguely accurate?
BBC used to be decent enough, but got really bad quite a while back....I think after they stopped using the Met Office, although that doesn't seem much better now....last I looked at Accuweather it seemed more inaccuweather....

I like this one for a quick check if you are planning on going out. You can stick your post code in and then see what’s heading your way.
