Waiting for a Rainy Day

Well, here’s some cheery news. It’s raining, and the Poseidon weather map shows us looking like this:

The darkest parts are the heaviest rain, and I think the worst of that lot’s not long passed overhead. Then, fast forward to Friday night/Saturday morning, and we’re in for this:

Can’t wait. Towels at the ready. Staying home. I hate to think what the harbour looks like, but I can’t see, as I sensibly closed the shutters last night. We are now as watertight as we can be, except for the bathroom, where the window doesn’t close. Towel already down.

Mind you, yesterday afternoon, the sea was calm, and there were a couple of sailing boats out on the water. (Too far out to see in the photo below.)

I spent most of the morning trying to sort out new email addresses and trying to change my email address/login details for various things, and didn’t do too badly. Trying to get my new address set as the principal Microsoft account though, was a different matter, and one I shall return to after work. Perhaps. The change is upon me! That is, the change over from tools I have been using for at least 20 years to new ones, i.e. Thunderbird instead of Outlook (seems to do the same thing, but without the flashy bells and whistles, and what’s more, it works and is free), and later, perhaps, a different webhost for the two blogs/sites, but that can wait for a rainy day. Oh…!

Yesterday afternoon.
