I worry about myself, sometimes. However - the kitchen is sparkly and clean and won’t need doing for an awfully long time.

30 seconds of torrential rain here in Cambridge. Now passed on.

It got very dark and blew hard here for about half an hour earlier, with heavy rain; now it is light, the rain has stopped and the trees outside are moving a bit but not in the wild way they were earlier. i can’t hear any wuthering, which there definitely was last night and earlier this afternoon.

I hate to tell you this but after that happened here it went dark again and the wind got back up, and now it is proper howling, and the rain is back. The local met office now say we’ll be alternating between gales & severe gales until Wednesday.

How horrible, TFM. I’m loath to say this out loud, but we appear to have had a very easy time ovvit - compared to many. No sign of Ratty.

We’re used to it, soo. When these things happen often enough you have ways of coping with it. What seems to be unusual about this particular storm is not the severity, we get far worse, but the duration. Ciara appears to be the type of guest who doesn’t know when it’s time to leave.

I hope that you’re rid of her asap. Don’t tell her we (usually) have an open hive policy, please.

Guests and mackerel stink after three days.
Does anyone else recognise “If it’s mackerel it’ll stink by London”?

The only quote I know linking mackerel with London came, I think, from ISIHAC, R4 anyway. A little gem of information - ‘St Johns Wood is the only London tube station that has no letters in common with the word mackerel’.
I feel my life has been enriched by that knowledge.

There are very few London tube stations without the letter E, as well, or I think there aren’t but cannot really be arsed to check.

I knew that too - gawd knows whence - but am afraid I don’t recognise Fishy’s
Cleared briefly here but blowing like mad again and wet and horrible. Yet here I am (briefly) in the pub. Because need of internet I can talk to easily about tomorrow’s journey.
Wish me luck.
