Sunday 21st 40F, still and clear but with some cloud. A break in the perpetual, leaden overcast but showers are promised. Sunrise is supposed to be at 8.03. Though no sign of any brightness at 07.55. 

It was 8.40 before the sun almost broke through. Blue overhead but cloud all around the horizon. The gibbous moon was sinking in the west. 

A bird of prey flew off from a roadside tree. Pheasants clucked unseen in the crops. Or wandered the lanes. Lots of small birds about. Sparrows, tits and blackbirds. Moving away fro me together. Close to total cloud cover by 09.00.

Cleared up a bit. With some sunny periods before total overcast by 12.30.
