...but just think of the damage this blustery weather could do to that Glass House you're living in, Sput!

Maybe they were actually hit by the gantry?
Ronnie is victorious, vivacious in victory like a venomous dog. Vile Republicans cease living while the religious retort with rueful rhetoric. These rank thugs resort to violence and swear revenge.

But Ronnie can punch through steel so they lose anyway.

Not only blustery, but an external power shower started for 10 mins at 7pm, 'down here'.

and now there's the mother of Thunderstorms too.

We managed to miss the thunder up here, but got a drop of rain, or three hundred!

And we had the wind, lots of it. A huge crash in the middle of the evening signalled the collapse of our stack of recycling boxes outside the back door. (Yes, all full of Cotes du Rhone bottles, before somebody else says it!)

Where are you, exactly, DVB? Am I remembering Liskeard for some reason, or mixing you up with someone else?

.. on the Fal estuary, between Truro and Falmouth. Redruth TX had three or four protection shutdowns during the unpleasantness from 2245 till 2330. Once the storm passed it calmed quite rapidly, which surprised me.

Ah, memories. Never used the ferry, always got stuck on the 88B. Used to visit all the villages on the way; Perranarworthal, Ponsanooth (particularly pretty little place) and of course the fabulously named Mabe Burnthouse.
