22nd/23rd July

Matt was back on overnight shift, and I've been a really bad 'bad weather' blogger! Once the sun is out.....no blogging! And here's the excuse, wait for it, it's good! I take the laptop outside and I can hardly see the screen of course, and I can't hear what Matts saying cos the fountains in the pond are making too much noise!! Good eh!! ohh and I've been a bit tired too. So anyway, onwards and upwards. This week really has seen the start of summer! Finally! Matt had some very good looking temperatures on his map and I really liked the Europe map with all that orange on it!! Yay!

Matt was very adventurous with his forecast tonight, he went right up to Saturday!! Atlantic pressure chart and everything! The 11.30 forecast was after a discussion from the papers about  the passport office workers going on strike and Matt said: 'You might not want to grab a passport and head overseas because the summer warmth continues to build across the UK over the next few days'. Too true! Expensive Euro's, crazy paranoid airports, who needs it! We can stay here and get watched on CCTV every second, get caught speeding on camera, and use expensive pounds instead!! Yay!! And even get arrested for doing just about anything!!!! (Whatever you do, don't take pictures!!!! Highly illegal these days I hear!!!! Even though it's not against the law!!!! yet!) Lmao, anyway, thats all a little 'off topic' I guess!! Perhaps I should start a rant blog!
Matt: 'At last summer has arrived on our doorstep'. Hehe, after the 12.30 forecast Matt did that vanish trick again! Always funny. Now you see him.....now you don't!

On my local forecast on Breakfast this morning (Wednesday) Matt said I could leave my jacket at home! So I did!! I was a bit distraught at having to go to work at all on such a promising day!

I was watching the weather very very closely this week to choose the best day to have a last minute day off to go to the beach. I chose wisely (in more ways than one!), took Thursday and went down to sunny Bournemouth. Fantastic. Fish and chips, Mr Whippy...what more could you ask for?!! oh and a dip in the sea!! That was chilly, very chilly, but ok once I got used to it.
