    It was slightly blustery here, but it'll have been hyped up beyond all recognition as per usual. You can normally tell when that's about to happen as they start stalking about "gusts" rather than sustained wind speeds.

    We do seem to hype up weather really badly these days. The Americans have "Hurricane Irma" and we have "Stiff Breeze Stephanie".
