    Morning all, local time 0829

    Cloudy and a bit grey looking on account of Storm Beryl heading our way bringing hurricane force winds from this evening. Currently 28 degrees ('feels like' 31) with a high of 31 expected. Rain forecast from 6pm onwards.

    The drive out yesterday was fun. Some interesting ideas of what a "highway" is.

    We were supposed to be doing a catamaran trip today but that got cancelled.

    Cloudy start out with evidence of a bit of a breeze, and also traces of overnight rain. Currently 15°C and not getting any higher than 18°, with the barometers trivially down at 1002/1010mB

    It's very grey & gloomy around here & not at all warm.

    In other other news, the continuing excavations in the freezer have revealed Yet Another 2 litre icecream container full of cooked apple. I'll need the hammer & chisel again. Ho hum.

    Not as much wildlife stuff on today, and most importantly: no Monkey Life as the series ended last week

    In addition to reading nonsense on the Internet, this evening I read a bit more of Black Box about the problems that came about with computerisation, in particular the many incidents involving the Airbus A320 in its early days

    Goodnight all

    Oh, and we had 4kg of sea bream delivered today along with a gurnard, from the fisherman who doesn’t eat fish (unless I prep it for him). Took the heads off, gutted them and trimmed the fins. Tomorrow I’ll finish prepping before deciding what goes in the freezer, what he gets, and what we’re eating tomorrow night.

    A patch of nettles the size of our garden in Surrey has been cleared (by hand, no chemicals of tools used), and not I’ve got that lovely tingling sensation in my arms where the gloves didn’t quite cover.
    Off to a plant sale tomorrow.

    Tea has been brought to me from the Indian restaurant down past the other side of the park. Very nice

    Speaking of the park, a big chunk of it has been fenced off ready for a Kasabian gig next weekend

    On the way back, I noticed that one of the windows in my old flat is broken!

    They've put a board or something on the inside, but it's going to be pricy to fix that. He wouldn't have had this problem if he hadn't put my rent up so much that I bought a flat and moved out on principle

    Strictly speaking, I was at the dental hygienist. It's basically paying a fine for admitting Failure to Floss

    Sunny and Simpsonesque out now, and it feels a bit warmer than the 19°C alleged by the phone app. Even the watch app says it's 21°

    Bright but cloudy. Currently 28 degrees ('feels like' 32) with a high of 32 expected. Thunderstorms forecast for this afternoon.

    Oistins Fish Friday was a bonkers affair but excellent food. It rained a fair bit.

    Today we're heading over the other side of the island to New Castle.
