    Contradicting the (usually wrong, to be fair) BBC Weather forecast, it's stayed sunny and pretty warm all day. Almost makes up for having to spend a big chunk of the day in new black trousers, a slightly-too-small shirt, a borrowed tie and my brogue shoes which have mysteriously shrunk since their last outing. Or are fat feet a thing?

    Home now, back in my not-going-out slobwear. Sun still shining.
    I just dropped in, to see what condition my condition was in

    Mild and dry so far, very dull though.

    I was way too warm last night, ended up kicking the bedclothes off.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
