The message
from Sacha contains these words:

It has been the most *awful* day here - howling gale and lashing rain all
day since about 11am. It's still going on now. We seem to get at least
one
of these as soon as the poor old rooks are completing their nests,
sometimes
after they've got chicks, too and heaven only knows what goes through
their
minds as they get hurled about the tree tops. Amazingly, we had some
hardy
customers in today - they really must be the dedicated gardening types!
I
hope others have had a rather more pleasant day and that his blows off,
out
to sea pdq!

Went out for a paper and a bag of spuds earlier, and the wind was light,
the sky was grey and patchy, with not quite enough blue to molish a pair
of sailor's pants.

Got showered on while returning.

I'm a bit further south, and possibly a bit further east then you Rusty.
That shower hit me while I was putting the windows in to our new allotment
shed!

It's been dry ever since, but the wind has risen a lot.

I ferar it's going to be persisting down tonight...

It certainly is here! The cat who thinks she's a cut above the rest
[Grandma was a Siamese donchtaknow] has been complaining about the rain and
it's blowing enough to rattle the cat flap.

It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider.
