they're saying today that it might not be as bad as the Great Storm of 87 [?], but ...

Thanks, TT - boxes finally arrived at 6pm two days ago, got the library packed already (and the backache to prove it!)

oh,how's the bee-in-the-shed situation, Dorjac? just remembered!

25 Oct, 2013

 

Hi Fran, I will be battening down the hatches tomorrow. I just need to find somewhere sheltered for it all to go.

Must also remember to bring down the hanging baskets full of cyclamen.

Stay safe.

Our refuse collections have been suspended tomorrow as 80 mile an hour winds seem likely tonight.

Where I live in South London, the only damage I can see so far is the large apple tree has been emptied all over the floor and the communal electricity cupboard doors were blown open (they were locked) as the wind blew the heavy entrance and exit doors open.

hope everyone got through with no problems - was farily strong wind in East London, enough to whip branches

I missed this Franl. I hope you are well on the way to moving home. Nice to get the storms past before the actual move. We are being blown off our feet here this morning. I am just going out to inspect for damage as it has been raging for some hours.

wow, Scotsgran, that sounds stroooooooooong! fingers crossed for no or at least only minimal damage.

move dealine's been extended to Nov 25th, which still gives me couple of weeks - needed!

7 Nov, 2013

 

Excellent news on the extension. I know you will make good use of it. You should be nice and cosy for Christmas with lots to look forward to.

7 Nov, 2013

 

lol all I want for christmas is to be settled in, even if not totally sorted!

7 Nov, 2013

 

A houseb is like a garden. Is it ever totally sorted?

7 Nov, 2013

 

lol, well, sorted enough for "a place for everything and everything in its place" - more or less!
