The nice BBC weather forecaster this morning announced that the weather was overcast and threatening rain... except in Scotland and the East of England where it is gloriously sunny.  This is poetic because one could be forgiven that weather only happens in London.

Of course the fact that I've turned my week upside down and having my personal bank holiday and day off Thursday and Friday may have fooled the weather gods... (my Mum claims that for the last 20 years my Dad has held the role of "clerk of the weather" so you could always blame him if your weather doesn't suit...)
