The weather offers a great chance to look a fool!
It's been alternating between overcast and sunny today, with a brisk N'ly breeze and - despite two weak fronts on the radar - it's been dry all day. My neighbour popped round briefly (just after I'd bought the furniture inside - the new carpet having finished being installed) and asked me if it was going to rain, as if so she'd need to get her horses in.
"Doesn't look like it", I said, mindful of the rain-that-wasn't earlier and the low risk of showers on the forecasts. A minute later - "it's started to rain", she said, and then she hurried off.
It was, of course, one of those blink-and-you'll-miss-it type of showers, very local and - unlike the earlier rain - this one made it down to ground level. Oh well, can't win 'em all!
