    Strange but true tales - I caught an earlier train than usual on the high Speed into St Pancras.
    Next to the tracks on the approach to the platforms there are lots of shiny new flats being built, some of which are occupied.
    Being nosey I was clocking the décor of the flats as we passed, and in one was a naked woman getting dressed, and seemingly oblivious to the 7:36 rumbling past her window

    The 7:36 will now become my regular train

    Dank.

    Drizzle. Wind driven Drizzle.

    Windy. Very.

    Hints of sunrise in the east peeking through the murk over Margam.

    Train on time at 1 minute late. Class 150.

    Skool in view from Alex Rd, as through the proverbial glass darkly.

    Hill steep.

    Pavement art augmented with sheets of ply, some unidentified large object & two kitchen appliances.

    Tuesday.

    Om. Om.

    Getting towards Friday.

    Om. Om. Om.

    Urgh.

    Woke up this morning to the sound of rain beating against the window.
    Got all dressed up, went outside, no rain, not a cloud in the sky

    Train on time at 1 minute late. Class 150. Obnoxious semidrunk present. Never any BTP around when you need one. Apparently I'm a miserable **** but I think we all knew that already.

    Dark,
    Wetter than wet. Hammering down and sideways.
    Was woken by a tremendous crash noise at 04:30.
    Might have been a tree down.

    Waiting for daylight to see the damage, hoping it was just thunder......

    Must say I'm getting cabin fever on this break

    Got back from Spain, Nr Malaga, day before yesterday. 23' in sun. Should have torn up my return ticket and joined the hippy types camping in the hills.

    Washed out sunshine is fighting a rear guard action against the drizzle. Got to admire its pluck.
