...worrying about my friends in the South Pacific as Cyclone Winston makes landfall.
It's awful - they're saying Winston was the worst recorded cyclone in the south pacific - and it hit Savusavu (my old home town). I've been sending messages - but although I know of one friend who is safe (although not his property) - I can't get through to others yet as phone lines/internet are still down.
Doesn't look too bad outside, but someone has a fire and the whole area is smoky. I can smell it indoors. Can't see the source, so it's possibly the allotments.
Gordon Bennett it's rough out there, hail sliding down the windows, armadas of brown waves. My favourite writing day of the month at library of Avalon so got to go out in it.
Sun is out (not forecast); yellow warning for thunderstorms and violent winds, gusting up to 105kph. Oh, and hail. At that speed, it will be like pebble-dashing. I'm not going out.

Pouring with rain. I need to go out for fresh air.
Promisers are fickle.
Lovely and bright here - still is.
Much warmer here, but a very grey and damp day.
There were no pigeons around.
Cold here - well, my toes are, anyway.
