I am sorry folks. It is ALL my fault.
The beautiful weather we were enjoying last week tempted me to get out my trusty sun lounger - white plasic , little used, 5 years old, much like those to be found in beach resorts of sunnier climes.
( it spends much of it's life in hibernation in my dusty , packed shed.)
Yes, you have guessed. I did it on Friday . I sat on it on Friday. Have we seen any sun since Friday ?
NO....not one ray !
So, apologies to you all. Once again the 'kiss of death' from Boris has sent the sun packing.
I will tell you when I put the trusty sun lounger away. You can expect a sunny day the day after.

( I hope !)
