Morning all, local time 0801
Yesterday was the calm between storms. Today's weather doesn't have a name but it's windy and very wet. Not sure if it's the sound of the rain falling on the palms that makes it seem worse. Apparently there are thundershowers but I've not need / heard anything to corroborate that. Currently 27 degrees with a high of 29 expected.
We're due to head home today, and I'm not looking forward to the drive to the airport. I expect there'll be much flooding on the way. Hopefully the roads won't be busy if people decide to stay home and wait it out.
BA254, I assume, or are you on VS198?Leave a comment:

I assume the remains of it will circle back over the Atlantic and get here some time next week, so you'll be able to say you were in the same hurricane twice!Originally posted by ladymuck View Post

Got a very excited message from my uncle in Australia. He has been browsing some genealogy forums and found someone who has some information on our (great)-great-great-grandfather, at what point do I tell him the message is from my dad, his brother asking, a similar question on the same forum four years prior?Leave a comment:

Grey again, with some drizzle again. Currently 11°C and expected to reach 17°, so very slightly cooler than yesterday overall. The barometers have dropped quite sharply to 997/110mB

It's been a nice day, mild weather with a high of 32 degrees.
We had an early start today, being picked up at 0740 to be taken across the island for rum tasting. It was a bit touch and go as to whether it would go ahead but all venues were open and welcoming paying customers. We went to Four Squares and Mount Gay. Four Squares was the preferred rum.
Driving around the south of Barbados we saw visible signs of the high winds on Sunday night / Monday morning with bits of beach where they shouldn't be and other signs of damage. Power and water were out for several hours. Where we are, on the west coast, had a very brief power off and on again outage in the early morning but otherwise had no issues at all.
Have been tracking the evolution of Beryl since it left the area and am stunned by how severe it's gotten.

Forty years ago, I lived at the top of a steep hill at the end of a terraced street. Halfway down the hill was a corner shop, which sold really nice frozen lamb burgers with chilli and such in them. It turned out that these were made by a business at the bottom of the street, so from being made to being sold to being eaten involved them in a journey of about 250 yards, all on the same road. They were also sold in the nearby halal chip shop, where you'd be offered chilli powder on your chips as well as salt and vinegar - and still are, for it's still going. That was quite a novelty to me back then.
Having recently recollected these burgers, I was inspired to try to recreate them. So tonight's tea was lamb burger, in a brioche bun, with fries. I mixed the mince with finely diced red and green fresh chillis and various spices and seasoning, and I got a burger press so I can make ones that don't fall apart when cooking. They turned out very nice - a bit zingy but not too much. I don't think I've got the seasoning right yet, but it was OK for a first attempt, and there were a couple left to go in the freezer
Sunny out now, with the clumps of cumulus that were very large a couple of hours ago giving way to wispier bits
