Could be.
I'm in a side-street but it does get used as a rat-run in the day, maybe 2 cars a minute go by.
Last few weekends have been as quiet as a Bank Holiday Sunday. If I walk up a few hundred yards to the main road through the town that is pretty constant traffic even now. The only time that was quiet was during first lockdown.

I've got plenty to do. Business has been hectic since two weeks into the first lockdown and we have a large garden. It's just so much better doing even paperwork and e-mailing when the Sun is shining.
Actually it's not been too bad today and the Sun is shining now through fine clouds. Cheers me up.

Glad to hear that business has been er, busyLong may it continue. But when I said nothing interesting happening I was meaning holidays, day trips out, eating out and proper get-togethers with friends and family, and pursuing interests that happen outside the confines of our house and garden.
I too have been mad busy for almost a year now and I am thankful for that. But the prospect of some normality this summer is making these days seem to drag on forever. But yes some nice weather to sit out in will definitely help

Gotcha. Yes, the lack of holidays and meals out has been a pain but hopefully soon, we can eat at a restaurant, outdoors. Also looking forward to some family gatherings and bbq's in the garden. We have a lot to make up for.Glad to hear that business has been er, busy

Started raining here as soon as I got up. Must be the sight of my ugly mug. Mostly indoors today, with no ladders, so that's ok

Nothing new here. 3C, cold and grey.

The general work of fiction known as BBC Weather suggests we might have glimpses of sun from lunchtime to tea time. Could rain this morning - but fairly low probability, and doesn't look like it currently.
Later should fairly definitely be dry. Currently can't see more than a couple of miles. It shouldn't be too cold if you consider 8-10 degrees OK. Oh - I just spotted some patches of blue sky amonst the clouds.
Potentially a lot better than some other days.
