The wind buffets the window in sharp gusts. Storm Eowyn hits our island and there has been the unusual procedure of shutting down shops and stopping trains as well. It will travel over from Northern Ireland, then Scotland and then through the North, covering most of Britain I believe

And my daughter and Andrew have just set off in a taxi to Manchester airport to fly to Paris. With the proviso that I might see them back later. I have a fearful nature about my family travelling. It stems from many years ago when two policemen stood at the doorway and informed me that my first husband had been seriously injured in a car crash - but there it is.
To more down to earth worries, the recycling lorry hasn't been for two weeks and I notice that cardboard over the road is soaked and lying everywhere but I hope we shall not see roofs being torn off and I think it is eminently sensible to ask people to stay at home.
Weather is almost twice as fierce as it was years ago, we are in a climate change and how it is going to pan out I do not know. Luckily the leaves are off the trees taking some of the weight off them. Below you will see a statement about the new presidency of the USA and his failure to acknowledge the crisis of what is going on. Well let see if his new techno buddies might get a conscience about what is happening. Speaking out is our right.
And even to more mundane things, I have battled with my camera, and almost won. At least I understand all the numerous symbols, and, shame, shame took me two days to find the button to take a picture but it has been an interesting time to learn, and though I might not use all those symbols preferring the computer to clean up my photos and with the help of Andrew, who ordered the right gadget to transfer photos from my camera to the computer will be ready for the spring
