Better than yesterday, but still very windy. Wait for pause between showers to nip out round the corner for Sunday newspaper. Kiki, on the reception desk offers to lend me an umbrella. Kind, but not only are we between bouts of rain but the wind would destroy it immediately. But warm and dry in the flat. Coffee, bacon and eggs, jazz, newspapers (both real and electronic), and life is good. Also good that Jane changed barbecue to tomorrow, as today would have been almost impossible, even if we had stayed inside to actually eat. Tomorrow's forecast ok.
