There's always less traffic when it's raining.

All Hallows Day Eve ride home. It was really spooky.

And I had 3 rockets fired at me.

Short and slow run on the heath. It was really spooky because it was the eve of All Hallows Day.

Went after work and it was pitch black

Braved stormageddon winds and rode to work. Removed one branch from the road. There was eerily almost no traffic and cyclists (most of the train lines were closed so there weren't many people around work or Canary Wharf). They had closed road through Greenwich Park because of falling branches, so I had to detour.

Now stormageddon has gone to Sweden where they have warned people to remain indoors.

I think it's a bit of a beat-up. The winds were very strong but no stronger than a very windy day in Melbourne.

Very choppy water, complete with wind spray, because of the wind storm/cyclone. Very warm weather for late October. Swimming with the wind one way and against the wind the other way. But in a swimming pool it means the water can be a bit of a whirlpool.

Probably my last swim in England until the pool reopens in spring. It is closed from next Sunday. They are doing more renovations in winter.
