Wind

Woken at ten to five this morning by thoughts of ships and the sound of a high wind in the branches of the big sycamore at the bottom of our garden.

Went out at half six to run a couple of miles before breakfast. Still dark, and very gusty, with a waning crescent moon riding high among wind-driven shreds of cloud. Strangely exhilerating. And it didn't rain until I'd got far enough that the inevitable squall was refreshing rather than grim :-)

A good start to the day.

We're about 5 miles on the Bury side of Stowmarket. Very rural (only 12 houses and a chicken plant).

I'll be in Cambridge tomorrow night, probably, to see Rome Burns playing The Boat Race.
