Through blowing gale

Today was a stunning day - beautiful, hot, perfect. By 4:30 all that was changing. A gale force wind started up, and there's such an onslaught of cold fronts approaching that we are expecting snow and a maximum of 11 degrees C on Sunday! Already the birding trip for tomorrow has been cancelled, and it probably won't happen on Sunday either. If that's the case, a refund better be in order.

Meantime though there are folk to fetch from the airport, 45 minutes into the headwind. It's a road I avoid during the daytime if at all possible, and absolutely detest driving at night - but it's the only way there and back, so will put foot, keep an eye open for any stone throwers / hijackers / spike-across-road stretchers and general dodgy types. Quick dash there and back home again.

(Funny how on the nights when you have to stay up late you get tired really early - and vice versa!)

The rest of the weekend? Well it's unlikely many outdoor activities will be taking place. It will be a good one to cuddle up in bed as late as possible, with only the eyeballs poking out the top of the duvet. And to eat comfort food. And stay indoors pottering and dozing. I'll see how it goes - with the birding trip off suddenly everything's up in the air. I may need a weekend after the weekend.. :-)
