I'm amazed that our boiler is still lit - some of you may remember this is the boiler that British Gas told me was defunct.

It was one of the windiest days I can ever remember today.

I have a plant in a ceramic tub. All told it must weigh six stone, it's very heavy. It was blown out of my garden, and through the gate, and ended up thirty feet down the street. Rescuing the broken pot in my dressing gown wasn't a good idea...well not without underwear.

I couldn't close my door for ages, as the wind was so strong.

Anyway all being well he will be home this morning.....
