    Nowt here, now saying it will be at lunchtime.

    Radar shows we do get a small blob over us around 1200 but that's it. Nothing due for Wrexham.

    Been grey here all morning, but no rain. Sun peeping out now.

    Anita's gone out for the day to Blackpool Sea Life Centre. Gone with her son and two granddaughters. Nobody asked me if I wanted to go, but then there wouldn't have been room in the car. She'd have been better off just taking me, I wouldn't have been constantly pestering for ice cream like I know they will.

    But I will get to play unlimited tunes, so there's that I suppose.

    And if an ice cream van visits your neck of the woods, you can enjoy both.

    Does Anita not like music, Steve?

    She does, it's just my music she doesn't like... actually that's not quite true, the issue is that I'm deaf as a post, and she has hearing like a bat, so there are some disputes over acceptable volume. Things have got better with the new speakers, which sound much more convincing at modest levels.

    There's a big tub of decent stuff in the garage freezer, but since being diagnosed "pre diabetic" I'm trying to be a good boy. Honestly, I'm falling apart these days.

    Sunny here but only 15C. Might get to 21C. Looks like they've given up predicting rain, none is forecast for next 7 days.
