and getting ever so close. | 0:03:03 | 0:03:04 | |
I was quite mad because the time hadn't comd up and | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
I was like, what is it going to be? | 0:03:07 | 0:03:09 | |

The showers today created qtite gloomy conditions, | 0:03:44 | 0:03:45 | |

So a cool start to Monday morning, but there will be some earlx | 0:04:10 | 0:04:13 | |
morning sunshine on offer, and for many places it will remain | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
fine, dry and bright. | 0:04:16 | 0:04:17 | |
