Day 243 2016: Typhoon approaches...

Day 243: ...caution required

There was a plan to go to the office today. A fair and reasonable plan I thought. Although classes don't begin for a few weeks yet, there is always some preparation and research to be considering...

And then there was the typhoon.

Officially, it was due to cross over the coast a little further north of Tokyo but it looked like the rain and wind had set in from early in the morning so, being a Queenslander familiar with the ways of cyclones, I erred on the side of caution and opted to work (read) at home. 

Good thing I did too. Mid-afternoon we were inundated with torrential rain which wasn't on the forecast (indeed the forecast suggested clear skies by 1.00pm...).

It had started to clear by late afternoon but working at home was the right option. A little bit of caution goes a long way.
