Gales whirling over the Azores

Herb, Navtex, weather-online, they all agree, there's a gale whirling over The Azores today and tomorrow. Best to stay put.
A quick trip to the Market and we're drenched. We bake a carrot cake and "Sedna" makes a fabulous scampi-in-wrap dinner. Good food with good friends: and comfort on a rainy day.
