the cat came in at two o'clock in the morning, complaining that nobody told him it was going to rain, and was sick on the bedroom carpet. Hence some really late night posting. It's difficult to sleep if you're listening to the little horror wander around the house, knowing that he might want to throw up again. The Babe returns home this evening and nothing betokens scruffy bachelor living quite like dried cat puke.theclaud said:Yesterday, Metcheck was promising a pulsating sun for our arrival at the Beach Cafe. Now there's the odd scudding cloud, but not enough to worry about. What's the latest from the cat?
The cloud cover figures up to 7 o'clock are really good - London 7% to 15%, Dorking and Horsham 12% to 15% - and a light wind from the northwest strengthening from the north as we get down to Arundel is also good. The temperature looks good with lows around 11 degrees - I'll be wearing short sleeves and taking along a lightweight waterproof for cold spots, although there are very few of those (and none at all like the cold spots on the way to Brighton and Whitstable).
The moon was quite high and bright at 4 am this morning. This combined with a sunrise at about 5.30 should make for dramatic backlighting in the Mickleham gap, brightly lit roads through Blackwood, Newdigate and Rusper, a glorious sunrise south of Horsham, and soft morning light through the woodlands northeast of Amberley. I'm getting all Fotherington-Thomas again, aren't I? Don't even start me on the chalk path!
