0:03:15 > 0:03:18was disappointed with a point.
0:03:18 > 0:03:21Yeah, the positives are it's a clean sheet and a point,

0:04:41 > 0:04:43lows of nine or ten Celsius.
0:04:43 > 0:04:44Exceptionally mild.
0:04:44 > 0:04:46For tomorrow, we start off with the rain steadily
0:04:46 > 0:04:47marching its way eastwards.
0:04:47 > 0:04:50There will be a slice of something bright through the day,
