Forecast: heavy rain forecast for yesterday and today.
Reality: lots of clear skies and sunshine with no rain.

Starting to wonder if I check the forecast for Perth in Australia as it never seems right.

These weather apps aren't any better. I disabled mine when it told me it was currently a thunderstorm but in actual fact it was a lovely sunny day.

Thanks Pete.

Morning all. Rain, rain, rain here in Exeter.

I may venture out in the wet stuff just to get some fresh air, though.

Sorry to hear about your dad pb, hope he bounces back soon.

Thanks Dav.

Sorry to hear about your dad pb. Hope he recovers soon.

Morning.

think I ended up with 4 hours sleep last night in the end. Still awake though

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Went to see my Dad. He's had a few more issues since being in hospital (his mouth went this afternoon and he was slurring words apparently) but they're looking after him well. Nurses were really friendly and he's made a friend in the opposite bed, they joked that they were planning on escaping tonight! Sounds like he will be there for a while though.

Evening.

Last few days have been pretty busy. Went to the first day of the Dawlish Airshow, mostly ground attractions but my youngest loved getting to sit in a fighter plane cockpit. Sad to hear about the accident in the other Airshow, though.

Today went to see if we could see some planes from our side of the water but the weather was too bad. Ended up going to the arcades and my youngest and I had great fun with the 2p machines, despite getting soaked getting there. That's the one good thing about living in a seaside town. Even though we didn't go away this year, I can have a few days pretending to be on holiday.
