Awoke 45 minutes early and aching to the sounds of rain lashing down outside, with the netweather radar map showing a huge swathe of heavy precipitation heading over the city from the south west.
There was a gap in the middle but hitting that exactly looked unlikely so I resigned myself to getting wet.
Another quick check after all the pre-departure stuff had been done revealed that miraculously the rain was just missing me, skirting the city to the west.
The morning air was fresh but still warm for a really pleasant ride in; with generally very positive interactions with others and a number of drivers letting me in / out / allowing it to be shaken all about as appropriate
Sausages were better than expected and I arrived at the office in good time after a really nice autumnal journey; the novelty of how pleasant this is compared to my commuting situation last year (and worse the years before) still not lost

Mrs CK asked if I wanted the car today as it had forecast thunderstorms and I am glad I did as we had a cloudburst and a big thunderstorm, on top of which the other shift had a major breakdown so we're going to get hammered for overtime tonight
