Still breezy, the odd shower too which was debatable this morning on the weather, got a bit wet coming back for lunch.

Sunny again now, lots of cloud about being blown by the wind. Currently 14.5c .. was 16c before the shower, although I think my temperature sensor seems to move around a bit too much for my liking at times around lunchtime.

[Eugene]

Incredible howling wind for mid May, very gusty indeed, overcast now with it starting to rain should turn heavy soon.
