Let's hope so @punkdoc. No word yet from the roofers/masons I've contacted and none from our farmer neighbours either but the roofers don't work weekends and the neighbours are having a family feast for a sister's 50th wedding anniversary.
It's been peeing down all afternoon and blowing a hooly too. I went out again to move plants and empty pots and tables and so on from the path of a very large sheet of corrugated iron that was flapping and creaking and hanging awry and which has subsequently disappeared. Walkies has been abandoned but I'll have to go and check the chooks are OK and shut them up for the night soon.
I feel the need for lots of chocolate but, as we've been dieting, there isn't any in the house.
I know how you feel about the window cleaning @Liriodendron . As part of the cleaning for Possum's apartment when she moved out I found myself hanging outside her bedroom windows cleaning full height panes - 3rd floor of an apartment block - and definitely had a twinge or three not to mention colly wobbles. I decided not to clean the outside of the top panes in the living room - too much entertainment as they give onto Namur's version of Oxford Street in london.

Why is it that you never have chocolate in the house when you need it? I could just tuck into a box of chocs at the moment too. Did you lose many pots and/or plants Obelixx? I bet the chooks were/are rather traumatised at the storm.
I'm not allowed up ladders unless OH is with me. Have a nasty habit of doing stupid things! I hate cleaning windows in any event.
We've still got torrential rain but have heard from my sister (who didn't make it either)to say that most of our other relatives had made it. A very short service was held in the church because of the rain, although they all got soaking wet traipsing thro the graveyard to look at the new cremation plaque. They've managed to put my late aunt's stone next to her sister's (my mum) which I'm pleased about as they were devoted to each other. We'll take flowers for both of them when we next visit.
Have to say, we have chocolate in the house all the time, but then I need it all the time, but also I am fat. I do try to only eat high quality dark chocolate, unless I can't get it.
How can you lie there and think of England When you don't even know who's in the team
I hardly ever ate chocolate until I acquired OH ... he maintains that it is medicinal and should be taken regularly 🍫 🍫 🍫 ... @punkdoc ... are you telling me that he’s fibbing ?!?!😮
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
It is medicinal - lots of endorphins - but has to be good quality and in moderation.
I'm not good at moderation when it comes to chocolate which is why there is none in the house except some 70 and 80% dark chocolate for baking. Don't like that neat.

Hope you've all stayed safe, dry and full of chocolate today
I've spent a large part of today outside in shorts and short sleeves. I foolishly agreed to officiate on back-to-back games so pretty damp from 10.30am-3.30pm. I don't get that wet in the shower
At least there was no wind so didn't feel cold. Just wet, wet, WET!
