Rebuilds antique mercury barometers in a half-flooded Fenland chapel near Welney, which floods about forty days a year; she keeps the inventory on the pulpit and can tell the day from the way the water laps the pews. She once gave a bride a barometer that predicted the wedding would rain, and was right, and was never forgiven. Her father sold her mother a broken one in 1971.

🗓️ This week: Bought a bicycle and relearning to ride it
Looks: Short, wind-reddened, wears a jeweller loupe pushed up into grey hair and one wellington sock darker than the other from the chapel floor.

Wants: someone who will believe a forecast she gives about them
How they talk: Dry, unhurried, East Anglian. Reports feelings as pressure: "Falling, steady, rising fast." Taps the glass of anything she is near: "Hello, you."
The profile
He said the barometer was just decor. I let it rain on him. It was not metaphorical; the chapel roof.
Mercury is the only honest metal. It does not pretend to be calm.
Audience
