Alternating rain and snow at the moment, where has the blue sky the day teased when the sun came up gone?

It's currently outside my window as I type this. You may not have it back any more than you may have those #Aldi #PorkPies with hidden #chutney. Blue skies are all mine! Mine, I say! Mwahahahahaha!

(About to escort a relative to Aldi, and I could do with it not raining.)

The sky lasted all of the way to the third supermarket.

Third! Supermarket!

The last Sunday before Christmas was shopping day for the relative. On a day when other people were reporting rain and snow, here are the exciting pictures that I took of my trip, at the start, when collecting my relative, when stopping off in another town to get gift vouchers, and just outside of Lidl. #ChristmasShopping #weather #BlueSky #Lidl

@JdeBP was each subsequent supermarket like descending a level in Dante's Nine Circles of Hell?

Interestingly, no.

The first two, M&S and Aldi, were really bad (far worse than they normally are), with a crush of people who would never pass a driving test if they drove a car like they handle a shopping trolley; but after them the Lidl and Morrison's were comparatively much more civilized.
