We’ve got weeks of this wet weather ahead of us if the simulations are anything to go by. Almost zero probability of a cold but bright snap anywhere on the horizon.

YES A THOUSAND TIMES. It’s a first world problem but this is a major personal bugbear of mine.

I did the Meteorology module for my Geography degree 50 years ago.
I was partial to a bit of amateur gynaecology in those days.

Indeed. My hygrometer was useful for all my interests in those days.

No doubt there's a rational explanation for this, so full yer boots, boffins.

Paint charts. You wander around B&Q, pondering what colour to paint your hall. Having decided on a colour you pick up a sample pot (for a bargain five quid), then slap it on your hall wall only to find it's about 37 shades darker than it appears on the paint chart.

WTF?

The light bulb is everything here. Paint colours vary significantly under different lights (white, soft, warm). Have a mess about with a different bulb.

This reminds me of the days when I would do my own decorating. I worked flat out on hall, stairs and landing and my wife came home from work and said she didn’t like it. Three months of nagging later, it was gone and a new colour was on the walls. I retired my brushes on the back of this debacle.
