Dark skies
Oct. 18th, 2020 11:31 amPretty, but not the sight you want to see when you're 10 miles from the car and didn't bring a waterproof because, fool that you were, you believed the weather forecast when it would be gloriously sunshiny all day, with rain just a distant memory.

Yesterday, on the other hand, said it would be gloomy all day, but was sunny and warm all afternoon, except for on the seafront, when it was cold, windy, gloomy and an entirely different season from 200 yards inland.
Weather is weird.
(Photo taken on my phone, so a little fuzzy. On the extreme left, atop the Downs, is the Ashey Seamark, which is fast approaching Holy Grail status in my recent bout of "walk all the paths" expeditions. About 6 times now, in recent weeks, I've parked within 2 or 3 miles of it and have expressed my intention to get to it, only for one path to lead to another to lead to another, and I end up in a village 10 miles in the opposite direction, or up to my ankles in a marsh or scurrying across an airport runway ("groups should cross in pairs") many miles away. One day I will get there. One day. And then, perhaps, I will never be seen again by mortal eyes.)
