Do you know that constant heavy wind has driven people insane, or at least to lose the plot, from time to time? A few years ago we had strong winds in the Hebrides for weeks and people were phoning in to Radio Scotland's Call Kay, or whatever it was called back then, freeking out at the constant strong wind.

So, stay calm, keep the knives in the kitchen drawer and delay discussing the latest increases in sea level, until the wind dies down. I was kind of hoping that the airport would be shut today and delay my return to work, but alas it is not. A sad day!

Well, you'll be pleased to know it goes quiet for a few days (week?) from about Saturday.
Probably COLD and Eastery by mid next week.
At least the Ferry to Denmark and then Newcastle will be back on time!

'Kinshit. Man on order to fix house roof (we're in the queue). Shed roof repaired. Bits of garden wall laid in an orderly pile, for fixing later. ham aerial (remains of) laid to rest. Gutter screwed back on.
Haven't been down to look at the love of my life yet, but I'm just praying my limited knowledge of bondage has kept her safe and well.
Are they safer in the water or on the hard..? I'm probably more worried about the rib which I left tied to a couple of bricks..
