Where we are is showing no sign of kowtowing to the impending hurricane. The beach bar is full and doing a roaring trade

Chips with the pie, BTW
There was US border stuff on this afternoon, but I didn't pay much attention as I was mucking around with some Python and Django stuff for showing a timeline of when the election results are likely to be announced in each constituency. Not much point to it really, but it's a vaguely interesting exercise
Monday again tomorrow, but at least it's a four-day week as I've booked Friday off - I'll be up late cackling vindictively at what promises to be a bumper crop of Portillo moments
Goodnight allComment

Despite the 90% chance of thunderstorms, we appeared to experience the 10% side of those odds and neither bolt nor rumble was to be seen or heard.
Now there's just lots of rain forecast overnight with winds increasing as Beryl wends her way closer.Comment

Morning denizens
Fairly sunny start with some patchy cloud, though it seems that'll get less patchy as the morning goes on. Cooler again, being 13°C and not getting any higher than 17°. The barometers are up though, at 1005/1013mB

Morning.
Monday.
Grey.
Sunless.
Damp.
Drizzly.
Cool in here at 19.3 deg, 20.5 in the kitchen, 18.5 in the leanto.
1014 mBar, 29.9434 in Hg, 760.56 Torr, 14.7 psi, (up from 1013 last night), 78% RH (GDR hair), 66% RH (Lidl electric).
Meanwhile on the 15th of October 2019 WTFH had his head signed off , whereas NF was doing a towel wash and making some bol, and I'd finished S1 of BTVS (it's a short season) and had progressed to S2 E1, plus an ep of Joan of Arcadia, followed by Dr PimplePopper popping that giant cyst above a chap's knee.
Shopping trips to Morrisons and Tesco done dusted washed dried sanitised & put way. The need for health food was satisfied by the purchase of some Tesco(tm) jam tarts. Yum.
Lunch: scrambled egg etc. plus a few Health Food Tesco(tm) jam tarts. I feel better already.
Entertainment: Veronica Mars S2 E5.
Tea: chilli con carne etc. Meh.
Entertainment: Abandoned Engineering: Olivetti town in Italy, some Roman thing in Tunisia, prison in Poland run by Stalin & his mates, something else.
Quantum Leap: back it comes for no readily apparent reason sans Scott Bakula and Dean Stockwell, the later mostly because he died the year before. It's currently on and muted.
NCIS Hawaii. It only made 3 seasons. Say no more.
The unaired pilot of "Person of Interest". For some indefinable reason I needed to watch that again.
"What is this place?"
"The decline of Western Civilisation".

Morning all, local time 0706
The wind got up about 4am and seems to have gotten stronger since then. Weather app says wind speeds are about 76 km/h. It's also raining very heavily. Apparently a thunderstorm is happening but I haven't seen evidence of that. Currently 27 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 29 expected. Rain set to continue until about 6pm.
Looks like Grenada is going to take a bashing
