It is soooooo windy in the UK today!!! There are lots of trees blocking roads and several lorries have been blown over the wind is so strong

My internet keeps dropping out and I can't send text messages (although I can still make phone calls).

Now I have just heard on the local radio station that police are asking all employers to allow their staff to stay at work until after 7pm as the storms are expected to have eased by then!!! That does seem a bit drastic!

I think we all have wind today

I'm in the middle of no where surrounded by trees so I get the full throttle of it!
But I have my windows open

Make that 8 in the UK

Created havoc in my garden last night. Electricity went off about 7:00. Oh right, get the candles, then one almighty bang. What the hell was that!! It was the electrical junction box that is on the pole in our garden, exploding, sparks, flames more explosions. Fire brigade turned up and they were there for three hours, as the pole was on fire and us and our neighbour have sheds next to the pole. Power still off this morning and I expect it will be off the rest of the day while they fit a new junction box.

So to eleviate boredom, drunk a bottle of wine and now have a hang over
