Gull flight

Yesterday I finally succumbed to Pete's virus, though nowhere near as badly as he's had it - just tired and dizzy with a headache and a bit of a cough. I felt slightly better this morning, but still decided to cancel my site meeting in Milton Keynes - it proved to be a good move as there were very strong winds, and by mid-morning it was pouring with rain.

After dropping Alex at work I went for a short shuffle round the Rowing Lake instead. In sheltered spots it was almost pleasant but it was brutal in any spot exposed to the wind. The seagulls were having to battle hard to stay in the air, and the lake itself was like a stormy sea. I was quite glad to get back home and tuck myself away for the rest of the day!
