A dreary start to the day, grey damp & breezy . . .

Currently 15.9°C, 2.7mm rain, peak gust 20 km/hr from the northerly quarter

The broomstick is still doing a pretty good job, but swaying a bit much & the wind direction vane is spinning like a top. Plans to retire the broomstick have nearly gelled.
