OK, who are the lucky ones with the sun out today where they are..
It's pissing down here in my part of south wales

Not us on the east coast! It's dull and overcast here

33 degrees and sunny. Mind you I am on holiday.
Humidity is a bit brutal, still mustn't grumble.

How very dare you sir,that is being smoked on me Jo
Only 1 rib so its been on at 130c for 2 hours and half hour in foil,we like our beef rare.No wood this time but the Jo infuses it's own flavours from previous smokes

Must dash,just about to dish up.

Its stopped raining for the moment, but the sky is still a very dark grey.

BTW i hate you lot

Rained in Manchester today, stopped, but then rained on my way home.

A misty start here in Manchester so we headed over the Pennines and up to Wetherby for breakfast. Then up to Masham for a brew then over to Hawes for another brew then down to settle for another brew , then we headed home where it started raining for about the last 20 miles. 185 miles in total, so not a bad day really considering the forecast.

*update*

It's still raining here this morning.

I've got to go out and fill the bike up at some point ready for my early start on Wednesday. It's one ride i'm not looking forward to to be honest. The ride there will be mainly in the dark so i'm hoping the rain will hold off. But i will get to use all my extra lights

Well i have just dug out my RST Paragon 6 winter clothing for my Wednesday trip.

Blue sky and a gentle wind here on the coast. But we have a yellow warning for tonight. Soon as this weathers past am of to Sammy Millers for a day out.

I did a ride from Shropshire up to Keilder Water & back on Saturday. Most of it wasn't too bad, but boy did it lash it down on the M6/56 around Warrington on the way back. Proper Hollywood rain. I couldn't hear the thunder but I could see the flashes of lightning! All I'll say is thank goodness for Gore-Tex.
Sunday it rained most of the day.
Today, it's rained most of the day!
