I'm going to be mainly offline for a couple of days. I'm off to Exeter, where I have been invited to speak to an audience at the Met Office. I'm sure there will be some tough questioning, but I think this is probably more stimulating than preaching to the choir.
Richard Betts has promised me lunch and I understand that Tamsin Edwards is going to make the trek down from Bristol too.
The Met Office are paying my expenses for which I'm grateful. However, if readers want to help out with a speaking fee, the tip box is your friend. Thanks as ever to those who subscribe to the site to help cover the costs of these efforts.
