Have you been watching the weather reports, and 'special mentions' for Cardiff?
The hour by hour weather forecast said it would be stunning by 11am. At 10.30 I took the mutt out for a walk, it was a bit grey, and then the thunder started. Me thinks, gonna have a dry electric storm to clear the atmosphere ready for that gorgeous weather by 11am.
10mins later me and Fifi are sodden, standing under a large tree in the middle of a field, with constant lightning and thunder. I explain to her that the last thing you are supposed to do is stand under a large tree, she didn't care either way, but I wasn't sure how I was going to explain a BBQ'd dog to Guide Dogs, so we wandered around in horrendous rain ........ as I wasn't going to be beaten and go home just before the sun came out.
30mins later ...... I was beaten. The sun came out around 5pm.
Forecast for tomorrow is wall to wall sunshine, so I'll be taking my wellies.
