No bugs round here. Not yet, anyway. I did see a wolf last month, that was quite exciting.

No snow but high winds here, trees bending and twisting. Houses in the street look ok but I've heard there's a barn blocking a road not so far from the village. Well maybe a barn in bits, but the road is closed.

Time to ring home ET. (Iaink)

As long as management is in charge. She should run for mayor, or PM or somesuch vacancy. That'll sort things out.

Dont tempt her! Anyway, shes either out and the power is still out, or the house has been blown into the river (it wouldnt have to go far, if it rises much higher we will have waterfront property)

You are supposed to be without power till 11pm according to this...
