Weather windy, up to galeforce with rain. Suited my mood, after being told to find alternative accommodation. There were problems, and people felt I should not have stayed in a youth hostel for 3 months. But then again, I thought they’d like to have some income in the winter months. The wind kept increasing until 7pm, when it all went quiet. At 9pm, I found the wind to have veered west, force 5-6.
