It seemed to do quite a bit of rolling and pitching, from the
BBC web-clip. Was it exceptioonally windy?


Have you been out of doors today?


It is rather gusty. It strikes me you are but 4.5 miles from Heathrow,
so weather conditions can't be too different.


Yes, it was very windy about 7 am, and raining when I walked to
work at 7:30. Later we had several very heavy thundershowers. The
weather in Geneva is not a reliable indication of that at LHR, though...
