    I've known worse winds in this area than we are experiencing today (thankfully).  We are fairly sheltered so do generally miss the worst of the weather.

    After a bit of calm, it sounds like it's getting worse again.

    For all the damage I do love a stormy night on a full moon. Especially when there's patches of clear sky and you can see how fast the clouds race past the moon.

    In other news it looks like I managed to fix the dishwasher. I had to cut and resolder 4 wires and do my best to patch up the split ducting but the repair should be solid enough even if my soldering skills are a bit rusty. If not I can replace the whole wires I suppose. Better than forking out for a new one anyway.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.
  • Well done with the dishwasher @wild edges 😊 

    The Moon was amazing last night ... even with an overcast sky it’s light made it quite light outside, then the clouds cleared and the beautiful moon shone straight into our bedroom ... I lay and watched it and drifted back to sleep again. 

    Sorry ... not very curmudgeonly ... not sure if I should be grumpy because I was awake ... but then I’d have missed the moon ...

    You have no idea how hard it is to train a wife: to cook, clean, work full time and still always be pleased to see you. I have been trying for 25 years and have failed dismally.

    I think people get a dog to do the pleased to see you thing.

    Being battered with Oscar coverage on TV this morning, and I have one big question.  In these days of equality and MeToo, why are there separate award for best Male and Female actor, likewis Best Supporting actor.  Surely there should only be one of each, but I can hear the screams now if any attempt was made to do that.

    I agree with you @KT53

    otherwise why don’t they have Best female director/producer/camera person etc? 🙄 

    Maybe it’s an acknowledgement of the paucity of good roles for females, even now?
