It’s a day for battening down the hatches, staying indoors, and, in our case, putting towels around the windows. According to the weather channels, we’re in for a force nine overnight tonight, with rain and high winds developing through the day. Yesterday’s forecast showed more severe weather than this morning’s prediction, but still, best be safe. It also showed a lot of Sahara dust on its way…
However, this morning, that screen is clear, so unless the layer for ‘Dust’ is temporarily out of order, it’s all blown away, somewhere. In that case, not so much ‘red rain’ leaving its red dust and sludge behind, but also, maybe a computer glitch. Tempus revelat omnia. ‘Time reveals all.’ We shall see. But the clouds have been hanging around a while now, itching for a fight and preparing to do their thing. This was Monday morning:
Tempus revelat omnia. That motto was found inscribed in a pocket watch that came to light during the investigation into the ‘Jack the Ripper Diary,’ or forgery, depending on which evidence you believe. Had it not been for it being found scratched inside the casing, the rest of the watch might have been more believable, as it also had the initials of the canonical five Ripper victims scored into the metal. To add a kind of ‘You’ll see’ in Latin seems a little suspect if you ask me. But on the subject of ‘You’ll see’, we’ll now see what the day holds in store. It’s still dark, so I can’t comment on the skies, but I can hear the occasional gust of wind, though nothing dramatic. Let’s hope it isn’t too bad, because I saw several visitors wandering around yesterday evening, I think, looking for somewhere to eat, and they may be in for a shock if they’ve not experienced an island storm before. Things could get wild, but there’s no need to send thoughts and prayers. We’ve dealt with bad weather before. Hey! Maybe the phrase of the day should be Tempest revelat omnia.
