oops, a few lapses of concentration (that's what comes of
half watching the TV while tapping away at the computer)...
1) the dates in the messages should be the 26th (not 27th).
2) the double 'd' in the beaufort letters should only be a
single as the moderate drizzle lasted less than one hour.

Nigel (still foggy... the weather that is, as well as referring
to my brain!)
