There’s a 10% probability of rain at noon, and <5% at 1pm, according to the forecast. Let’s try and get a leg stretch (we didn’t get one yesterday – far too wet):
First attempt: the rain began as we got out of the car. Let’s go back to the greengrocer’s and try again after that.
Second attempt: same again. Moments before, we’d commented on the sunlight (against a dark sky, ominously) on two trees in the field across the road. We’ll drive a couple of miles away from the rain.
Third attempt: sunshine turns to rain moments after leaving the car. We’ll turn back at the Christmas trees in the woods. I know we’re not there yet, but now seems an appropriate time: Merry Christmas everyone!
