Wet, dark, miserable day.

Went for a walk - wind, sun, heathland with roaming cows, ponies and even a deer. Lovely. In the evening walked into Bournemouth along the sea front. It was powerful and elemental and very suitable to the occasion: strong onshore wind, waves crashing on the beach, flying clouds in the night sky. I thought of Túrin on the sea shore.

Fine bright full moon.

White skies and drab feelings.

At 7.30am it was actually thundering and there was some heavyish rain. More rain in the late afternoon.

Read careers books in the library. Walked home feeling very low. When I got home, read the front page of Computer Weekly: apparently IT graduates are in great demand and it's the hardest sector to recruit people in. Cheered up immensely, then spotted a great blue gap in the flowing grey clouds, just like 'The Sun And The Rain'.

Beautiful weather again.

Beautiful weather again. Countryside a bit like Bk.1 of LotR. Pretended the sun-glinting distant estuary was the Brandywine.

Beautiful weather, awful hangover.

Bright, cool September weather.

Later beautiful view of the stars in cold polar airstream, including the Milky Way in the vicinity of Cassiopeia. Enough to make one 'drunk with distance and expanse'.

White-skied day, clearing to another golden autumn afternoon.

Late in the morning the white sky cleared and a golden autumn day was revealed.

Rather autumnal weather today, but still fairly warm.

Hint of autumn on the countryside.
