We have a very clever device which measures the wind speed and remotedly sends the data to a digital box and screen in the kitchen. It does the same with the rain which since Mr Fish's departure we have had not a drop this month. The wind is gusting at 56mph (about 90kph) and that is in the more sheltered back garden.Thank goodness we are not on our way to Stranraer today. Mind you the weather forecast for Thursday is for more of the same. I am hoping to adapt the technology so as to allow a mouse sensor to be placed in the upstairs airing cupboard to monitor the mice as they are caught. A webcam might do the trick.
Our Kitchen weather box has graphics. There s the figure of a little man who is always clad in a transparent dark suit with his y-fronts visible. If rain is forecast a furled umbrella appears in his right hand and when it is actually raining the umbrella is raised. We await the opening of the umbrella with interest-not unfurled this month but rain is forecast. Perhaps when it is open a couple of harvest mice will drop out?
