Took car on traditional post-Christmas trip to Clacton: blowing a proper gale there, the wind turbines offshore spinning madly and heavy brown and silver waves striking the sea front.

CHRISTMAS EVE. Hadn't walked far back home at 1pm when dark clouds hurried up from the West and a cold, hard rain began to fall. I was drenched by the time I got home. But it did cool my aching face though.

Interesting weather at start of day: looked like being clear and cold but rapidly clouded over and turned stormy. Left work at 3pm, home by 3.45: it got dark very quickly while I was in the Co-op.

Now today felt like a winter's day, particularly when it started getting dark about 3.30. On strike today, so made myself useful about the house and garden. Picked all the apples I could reach from the stepladder, as I've noticed the blackbirds've been at them.
