So, the last day of April. And back to a mid Golden Week weekday - meaning it's not a national holiday today.

The sun is out again this morning and clear skies all round. Not quite as blue as yesterday, a lighter shade.

We actually have something different this morning. Well yesterday was hazier than it has been but still sunny.

This morning the sun is back and it should be with us for a run of at least a few days now.

It almost felt like mid winter again yesterday at times.

Lots of rain yesterday and strong winds at times.

No jokes about huge amounts of fresh powder, though there are definitely huge amounts of pollen flying around at the moment with a lot of people suffering from hayfever.
