22nd August

Poor Matt had Chris and Sonia ganging up on him on the first forecast today!! And there he was outside with his umbrella...again!
Sonia: The weather, very very important cos we don't get another bank holiday until Christmas now. And its been horrible (turns around to Matt) horrible over the last ?????? (could catch that). Yeah Matt its all your fault. And from Chris in the background:'Awful'.
Matt: Yeah, yeah, thank you Sonia. No pressure there at all. It is of course the bank holiday weekend for some of us'.
Matt did say he had a little bit of good news! As far as I can see that was just that 'mostly' it wasn't going to rain! Because down here this bank holiday weekend has been a dead loss. I got a few minutes sun yesterday, but during the afternoon it clouded over badly and was very very grey and depressing. Today (Monday) was little better, drizzle but a little less grey cloud.
Prior to the 6.45 forecast they spoke to a reporter in Belfast about all the flooding they had there and a reporter at a festival in Leeds in his wellies. You could really hear the rain on Matts umbrella very nicely during this forecast.
Lots of discussion about the weather and awful August today, lots of discussion. Unsurprisingly really!
