This is our weather forecast this fine July day ☔️

If Old Trafford is experiencing anything similar there’ll be no Ashes cricket today 🏏

@thedimpause It is the same here and the same again tomorrow. Call it a draw and try again next week.

@Dunk Very unfortunate but worried that will be the case 😞

@thedimpause But we have been dry for half an hour talk of resuming play by three if it stays dry.

@Dunk So I see, amazingly some play under way 😀

@thedimpause Wish I were there.

@thedimpause Beats 39C with no sign of respite.

@jeremycherfas Yes, Italy would be a little extreme for me at the moment 🥵 But I’d prefer somewhere between the two …

@thedimpause Sunday update: rained all night but has been dry all morning. Looking grey but not too threatening at the moment. 🤞

@Dunk Keeping my hopes up!

@thedimpause but now it is rainy again 😔

@Dunk Michael Vaughan used the word grim 🙂
