Pleasant, rather than blistering, this time of year, that chart.

Hoping the weather keeps at bay, but regardless we are glamping in a yurt with our car parked nearby in the same field. None of that roughing it stuff for me!

Diet starts on Monday - too many BBQs and cocktails already this summer wink

Family arr9iving for lunch today so I checked the local forecast. "Will it rain within the hour" is a box to tick. "No", it said, no chance. It was hissing down at the time. However, it hisseth not and until next Wednesday at least it will be up to 26C. Wahoo! Uncover the pool!

Sun drenched here today in the Island - even got sunburnt. However it was accompanied by a fresh NW wind. Anyway, tomorrow looks a bit st but the rest of the week and the foreseeable future - summer's back.

A couple of pics from today's cliff walk.

FFS - I really believe that at the Met office they just turn up for "work", loaf around and smoke spliffs. When they're off their faces and really fked up they then invent some weather - they probably all roll around laughing about all the fked up festivals, wedding and garden fetes etc. Useless.

So this morning is the dreaded back to school day. And the weather forecast has been for fine weather all week - "excellent", thinks I, "I can use my motorbike and avoid the chaos and crashes". But no! This morning it is absolutely hammering down - raining stair rods.

I wish I could be really st at my job and not get sacked.

Gaaaaaah! frown

Unfortunately the position of the high will slightly ruin things for the UK - it's centre is towards Scandinavia. This will bring in cloudy weather from the Atlantic, especially to northern parts of UK.

If this was in the winter, we'd be looking good for a 'beast from the East', eh GTIR? wink

Stunning day/evening here in the Island, 21 degrees with virtually no wind whatsoever. Days like these, there definitely isn't a better place to be. Pics of the bay and also the view from our rusty dinner table smile

Well beginning of September looking good as most years since Saturday the warmth have come back and the sun is out too. Made a good decision to take a week off from work.

Charts show the good weather continues for a week, maybe up to 10 days. Including maybe some warmer weather next week.

Then... eek
