I #cycled to work during heavy rain and into quite a gale this morning. I was #cycling at less than half speed for much of the journey and about two gears down. At one point, I had to cross a place which was waterlogged owing to an overflowing drain but it was about 25 cm deep which meant that I basically had to #ford it and the water entered my shoes from the angles. So, for the whole morning, I left my socks on the radiator in my office and stayed in there bare footed. during that time.
It’s an ill wind, as the saying begins, #StormCiaran has been generating lots of #RenewableEnergy. Even though it has calmed down a lot, 37% of #electricity demand is currently being met by #WindEnergy.
#Cycling home today was fun. The first bit #storm designated #StormCiaran is here and so the #rain was heavy with a south-easterly #wind gusting to about 50 km/h. Luckily, I'd packed my #waterproof #overtrousers and so I didn't get too wet except around my ankles, wrists and a bit down the back of my neck.
