Friday 14 March

A windy morning, but the rain earlier has stopped. The sun is in fact trying to peek through the clouds. Not much change for later, or tomorrow. In the afternoon, the sun was shining, but there is this bullying west wind, making it feel cold out.

Not a shot has been fired in the Crimea / Ukraine/ Russia crisis, and no direct military confrontation has as yet taken place. However, the first casualty of the conflict has already been reported.

The truth.
