Wet, cool and breezy, 13C...

Lucky you; the radar shows a mass of rain being deflected from my locale as effectively as the Earth's magnetic field deflects the solar wind. It's ridiculous.

Horrible day. Cloudy, very cool, windy and drizzly. Max temp only 11.1C with 1.1hrs sun and 0.4mm rain

Glad I didn't have today off but got an extra day of annual leave instead. Public Holidays are a waste of time in this country.
