Typhoon continued

Well, woke up at 5am to a little bit of rain, but when I got up just before 7 this morning, it was a beautiful sunny day (up 9 degrees from yesterday to 26C). Very windy though! From the news, the typhoon headed a bit further north than my area. Quite a lot of flight and train cancellations and delays throughout the country, as there were yesterday as the edge arrived.

Because of train cancellations on connecting lines that use bridges, my usually quite quiet local train line was ridiculously crowded ー glad it was just one stop before I had to change trains! I'm at school now and I can see the station from the window. There is a poor station attendant who has all day been pretty much continuously sweeping up leaves that are being blown up the stairs. What a thankless task! Imagine his conversation when he gets home tonight: 'So what did you do today?','I swept up leaves','Anything else?','No, that's all my boss told me to do...'
