    So my daughter was supposed to be in nursery this morning, and I awoke at early o'clock, showered, made some tea and checked the news, which said 'TIS WINDY! STAY INDOORS.

    For most of my life i'd ignore such weather concerns, but now I have a kid and I keep reading about people coming a cropper after ignoring warnings, and given I'm basically doing 7 days a week now I thought "fuckit, I can make the most of this", and set my tea aside undrunk and went back to bed.

    Two hours later I get an email from the nursery saying they're closing as a roof of a nearby house blew over their periphery and one of the four people killed in Britain by the storm was about 1.5km from here.

    Listen to your lazy gut, people.
