My wife tells me there is two inches of snow in Dunblane today. Just as well she's heading back here today.  ;D

It may well be John. The forecast here is a return to strong gales and heavy rain from Tuesday onwards.

Well there is no point sweeping up all the mess and cleaning the windows then  ::)

Sweeping up I can cope with but I get a man in for the windows. I get dizzy if my feet are more than a foot above the ground :-[

Er! Yes, thank you Neil. I've worked long and hard to avoid doing a job I hate so I'm not about to draw the boss's attention to that kit in a hurry ;D Anyway for £7 a full clean I don't think it's bad value at all, and if I ask him nicely he'll clean all my bargeboards, soffits and guttering for £25. I'm very happy with that and whilst he's doing it I can get on with something important like guitar practice.

Tonight we have the third gale in three days! The second was of hurricane force and have done a lot of damage. I was lucky and the gales have not damaged anything here.
StephenB, are you still alive? And what about your garden?

Edit: Fortunately not my place, but further north.
