anyway the storms gone

until the wind changes to the north and we get sub zero temperaturs and blizzards next week

now Walter is getting it.

He'll be out there tightening the guide ropes.

(He lives in a tree house)

Everybody send best thoughts for Walter and family's safety.

Its tough in a tree in a gale.

From another great Poet:

Then Dutchy came from way down under
and rescued smorgs from rain and thunder
He took her to his hide away
and spoiled here rotten night and day!

Gladly not!

But trees came down here en masse, killed a 23 year old girl only 1/2 mile away (opposite the golf place, Steve): she wanted to turn her car because tres blocked the road and than a tree fell on her car Crying or Very sad

All thre roads (including the dual carriage way) towards the town are closed since two hours.

I dont understand

Channel 4 just said 10 dead
BBC rss feed says 8 dead
the link to which it feeds says 9 dead.


clearly some sort of macabre spread betting going on.

I'm buying at 10.

Such sweet poetry boys... apart from the 'cow' in the fourth stanza of stevies (you bastard)

I've come over all moist

There's a bit of a contradiction in your last two posts, stevie - don't you think?

It's because he doesn't know whether he's a concerned person or not.

On the one hand it is cool to be flippant and witty at the misfortunes of others. One only has to think of the wit deployed on the subject of piles to be appraised of such an obvious fact.

On the other hand he doesn't like to think of himself as callous and cynical after a certain point and the trees falling on cars is a borderline case, Steve being a cool driver and all.

So this is bound to lead to some equivocation and once one understands this it is easier to forgive him and take pity on him and stroke his soft, smooth cheeks with a whippy tawse to educate him into better ways because equivocation is not a good thing as Confucious said.

The wind seems to have dropped, so today I'm mending fences.

Kind of like riding the range. Yippee-ki-eye-oh.

A lot calmer down here as well, McT.

Watch it though, as the Beeb are saying that there will be more gales in the North today.

Make sure you wear your Damarts.

Thanks uncle spends. Do watch a tv show called Big Brother? Can you explain it to me. I seems to have caused a diplomatic rift with the Government of India.

It's been very windy in Prague, as well.

I hope my flight back to London for the weekend will not be too horribly delayed. I wnat to get back to see my girlfriend...not easy, the long distance relationship thing.

Anyway, I've been looking at the snow forecasts and it looks as if the next few days will bring lots of fresh powder to the Alps, which means that next weekend I'll see if I can drive down there and catch some of it.
