Wet and windy here, no doubt thanks to Henk.

Snow. On the Ground. In Worthing.

I mention this because this is the first time this has happened since we moved down here in 2019.

Before we work on Artificial Intelligence shouldn't we address the problem of natural stupidity.

Been a nothing day here. Ground is wet even though it hadn't rained. Not as cold as yesterday.

Dull, dry, not much wind, damn cold. Tried to snow earlier, but it didn't come to anything.

Bright and sunny, no breeze, nippy but not too bad. Going out to prune my Buddleja soon.

After glorious sunshine and blue skies yesterday, we have grey and cold on top of cold and grey.

I find I am singing "In the Bleak mid Winter" to myself.

As Jocelyn is about to hit Glasgow


'With Storm Jocelyn about the batter the city, it's worth remembering that this isn't the first Jocelyn to barrel into Glasgow. That honour goes to Bishop Jocelyn, who, in 1174, was confirmed as the fourth Bishop of Glasgow.

At some point between the years 1175 and 1178, Jocelyn obtained from King William the Lion a grant of burghal status for the emerging settlement of Glasgow, with a market every Thursday. The grant of a market was the first ever official grant of a weekly market to a burgh. Moreover, between 1189 and 1195, King William granted the burgh an annual fair, today's Glasgow Fair holiday, increasing Glasgow's status as an important settlement. As well as new revenues for the bishop, the rights entailed by Glasgow's new burghal status and market privileges brought new people and new traders and businesses to the settlement.

The new settlement was laid out around Glasgow Cross, down the hill from the cathedral and old fort of Glasgow, but above the flood level of the River Clyde.

Today, Jocelyn is remembered by Jocelyn Square, outside the High Court, which used to be called Gaol/Jail Square.

There's a nasty nip in the air, as the sailor said when he saw the kamikaze aircraft approaching his ship.
