A pleasant sunny day

Originally we weren't holding much hope out for Friday as all week the forecast said a band of rain would be moving through.  By yesterday this had changed - rain was expected during the afternoon now - but the reality was still better.  A sunny morning with plenty of sunshine, clouding over for a time before more sun in the afternoon.  Temperatures not overly warm but better than of late.  A little drizzle by later in the evening.
