It was a dark and stormy night

[jacey]

I was up writing until around 4.00 a.m., but when I did try and go to bed I just lay there for (seemed like hours), listening to the wind howling off the moor. During that time I counted seven separate clunks of things being blown about outside that shouldn't ought to be.

BB retrieved the garden furniture this morning. Nothing broken that we can see but sometimes you don't find out the worst until the water starts seeping through a bedroom ceiling or oozing out of the wall below the valley gutter. We only just finished decorating the smallest bedroom after having the ceiling replastered due to a persistent water encroachment.

I'm glad to know you're okay. It's pretty windy down here and all three cats are most put out.

I hope nothing vital came adrift in the high winds.

The flood is subsiding nicely now and the bottom of the garden has emerged from under the water. (The flooding is not a problem. It just does that, so everyone on our row knows not to put anything at the bottom of the garden that would be damaged by an occasional submersion.)

I hate high winds. I hate looking out of the window not knowing how much of my fence will be standing. No damage last night though. :)

It was blustery again today, but it seems to have calmed down tonight.
