Morning all, off the work shortly, so no gardening today. I haven't opened the curtains but it sounds wet and windy. Woke up at2.30 and went back to sleep at 5.30, so what I could really do with is a lie in. Hope I can stay awake for the teaching, might need a power nap in the middle of the day!
Morning everyone, golly gosh we have thunder and lightning here . Thought it was someone putting their wheely bin out.
I'm handing in a doctors note - got more lurgy This time a horrible head cold . There's worse things, just would be happier if I could see what I was typing
Re recent posts on that thread. Well spotted, Geoff.
If you simply go back to the penultimate page on that thread, and find a post posted by Christopher2, and click on 'Christopher2', it brings up the profile for Verdun! They are the definitely the same poster, who is just trying to play games with everyone.
It'sbeen harmless though & quite entertaining. Have to admit to joining in.
Wet & very windy here. Daughter flying over to IOM about now. Rather her than me today! Last year, this week, my flight was cancelled on that very, very windy monday. Was very glad that the plane we eventually had was bigger & full so didnt bounce around as much!
Plans to hibernate in greenhouse to sow sweetpeas this afternoon have been abandoned unless the wind drops completely! If am inside & a roof panel flips.....
Oh good the charity bag left out for collection, tucked in rain shadow of garage, has been collected. Only put things out for the ones I know acknowledge it.
Am really wanting a coffee but that will be 3 in fairly quick succession & I'll be on the ceiling! J.
Inka, that cheesecake sounds delicious, you might need to post the recipe!
Pam, the new Asda will be quite a bit bigger than the Maybury one, you can look at the plans on the council website under planning applications if you're interested. I had a look yesterday. I can forsee traffic being a problem - its already a bottleneck getting in and out of here!
The boys had chicken for dinner last night!
One of my chickens is still laying but the others have decided to call it a day, might have to resort to buying eggs!
25 years ago I was living in a house called Tall Timbers. After the storm we nicknamed it 'Stumps'. OH's car got flattened between two massive pines - he thought about moving it but at the last minute decided not to, thank goodness!!
Geoff, will be there Friday evening for my apples!

Not too much personally affected by 1987 storms though had to take a different route to school that morning because the overhead cables were snapped and sparking off the road as they blew around. 1990 we had no electricity because a huge tree came down and its roots tore up underground cables. The main road was put back on but in our cul-de-sac we had to wait a week. The people whose house it fell on needed a lot of work done to the roof!!

I have just made a pumpkin cheesecake with maple pecan glaze, if anyone wants a slice before bed. The promised wind hasn't arrived yet.
Ooh, Inka, I'm a sucker for cheesecake!
I haven't dropped off yet! 
Have a nice day, y'all
