Rode into town for the optician. Got utterly soaked in freezing rain. Met Polly who said 'You're wet.'

11.45pm. Rain beating on the windows. Bedtime.

Utterly beautiful weather. The Chubday tomorrow too - great coincidence. After lunch sat outside reading Sherlock Holmes; zapped down to Sainsburys again for wine owing to the weather, drank it in the garden.

Beautiful mild weather all day, like the Chubday of old.

Saw a really good/bright shooting star (the best yet) while waiting for the bus.

At 5pm spent 90 minutes stuck at Manningtree, because the overhead cables'd blown down at Ipswich.

Rode to campus in the evening - full moon, clear sky, fairly calm.

Very strong winds again. Will it ever end?

'Some notable storms on the 7-8, particularly affecting the Thames and Severn valleys.' [...]

Undecided sort of weather all day.

up at 10am again, but it was pissing down with rain and the sky was a filthy colour. But amazingly beautiful sunset about 4.30 after a whole day's rain and grey skies. An omen?

Beautiful day - sun, wind, blue sky, little white clouds.
