Cool again, breezy but staying dry

Despite the thermometer pushing a fraction over 20°C around lunchtime, the wind today was much fresher, and with much more cloud about, sunny spells were fairly infrequent.  This meant the day felt on the cool side, not entirely suited to an afternoon in the garden despite a generally bright outlook.  Clouds were again mainly fair weather, but darker underneath with flat bottoms, fitting the classic profile of cumulus mediocris.
