Grey, cold and drizzly today. Apparently it's a perfect afternoon to go to West Quay (big shopping centre in So'ton) to look at tellies in John Lewis. If I'm really lucky, we will then go on to IKEA (#ninecirclesofhell) to look for a TV stand. Assuming we find a suitable TV, that is.

Be still, my beating heart :***:

Well, that was fun. Road works round West Quay meant that it took 50 minutes to get out of the car park before we even started fighting our way through the traffic to get out of Southampton. Total door to door journey time - about 15 miles - was an hour and a half.

We're after a particular model of telly: the shop had more than 10 in stock according to their website, before we set off, and was out of stock by the time we got there, though we have put in an order for one of the next batch to come in. Thus thwarted, we moved on to IKEA (#ninecirclesofhell) to see if they had anything suitable in the telly stand genre: needless to say, they didn't.

An afternoon wasted, I knew I should have stayed at home :D

I've never been to West Quay without a traffic jam or accident on M27. Went to Petersfield this morning and the cloud was very low over Butser hill. Got halfway there & Mr Chris wanted to know if he'd locked the back door (he headn't as we found out when we got back) couldn't phone next door to get him to check as I'd forgotten my phone. Petersfield was rainy. It's now blowing a hooley. Not seen the forecast so don't know what to expect tomorrow.

As a rule, I never go to West Quay, full stop.

This afternoon, I have reminded myself why :)

According to the BBC, rain most of the day and blowing a hooley again. On the plus side, the rain and cloud will clear, late in the day, and there will be some sunshine by 7.00 pm - and since the clocks will have gone forward, it will still be daylight at that point, so we'll be able to see it.

I like to look on the bright side if I can :D

Heavy rain forecast for all day in Switzerland. BUT it's nice and sunny now and 12C! Birds busy collecting materials to build their nests. One under the tiles of our garage roof.

Grey, wet and windy as promised.

Just been 'phoned by a couple of friends who have been spending the weekend at Bournemouth and were going to drop in for a cup of tea this afternoon on their way home to the Midlands, to ask if they could stop by at lunchtime instead. It appears that sitting in the car at Mudeford Quay, watching people walking sideways to avoid being blown off their feet, is fascinating and amusing for a little while but starts to lose its appeal after about half an hour.... :D

Clouds seem to be clearing now with a bit of blue sky showing. Might be a nice day later.

It's now succeeded (I'm in a similar part of the world to RRB, I think): there is cloud as well, but the sun has it, at the moment. Some rain later, apparently, but not very much the Beeb are suggesting.

Just had a cup of coffee outside in the sunshine : it's quite windy, but our garden is very sheltered. Cushty ........... #joysofbeingselfemployed :)
