Morning all, Microwave has been delivered and unpacked. Have looked round the windswept garden and put a few plant supports in place. Doesn't look like anything is damaged but it's still really windy out there so I wont count any chickens.
I'm planning on taking things easy today, just catching up on the laundry. Glad Flatters is improving @WonkyWomble. Hope you manage to rescue some of your crops Liri.
Just back from our usual walk, a bit later than usual as we overslept again. OH is having such trouble sleeping well, it affects me as well. Very stormy overnight but fortunately no damage that I can see., I battened everything down yesterday, just in case. Lots of tree debris around though and it's still very windy out there. Looks like I'll just have to do the ironing instead!
I've been clearing drawers of papers dated in the 1990s and found a letter for my birthday from my mother about the day I was born. My parents were staying with my grandparents in Southwold while they house hunting, they actually lived on a boat at the time but my mother was very pregnant. I should have been born in a maternity home very near Southwold but there was an infection so my mother was taken to Ipswich hospital instead. I had forgotten that. I realise that I never throw papers away, just shove them in a drawer or a filing cabinet. I now have nearly 30 years worth that I'm chucking out. I must be a hoarder. I had to look up the French Government advice on how long to keep stuff.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Torrential rain here too. Satellite TV has lost its signal. Put GW on to record on Sunday morning.
OH has had a brilliant idea! I wasn't sure how to deal with things like bank statements, I don't have a shredder and it would take ages anyway. He has suggested I put my old papers into the now unused horse water butts until they are soggy then leave them to dry in the sun and they will be illegible. Then throw away or put in the compost.

I'm looking out the front window and it's absolutely torrential rain out there and so dark - very depressing.
