Fourth power cut today.

Next village to mine and it’s a quiet day for traffic for some reason.

He's got my fence to fix now before his gates.

Could have been worse, we got woken up by a fire engine outside at 8.30.

Not a fire though, a small branch came down on the neighbours roof.

The tree was probably 1.5 times the height of the house. They said they had one come down 5 years ago also on their car. They are up there now cutting it down.

I managed to catch a twister narrowly missing Dunstable Priory during storm Ciara.

BA flight from NY to Heathrow, 4 hrs 56 minutes. That's just some tailwind!
Jet stream blowing at 286mph.
Turning flights away from Manc. Turkish Airlines flight landed at the 4th. attempt, bet there were some iffy smells on there;)

That's a record! Going the other way is adding two and a half hours to flight times.

not been a particularly good day here either.

Got up this morning and the gates had been blown open past the mag-lock and strained them:

Anyway, managed to get them back, adjust them all again and re-teach the settings,

So decided to leave them fully open instead.



Then this afternoon:

Blown up off the top hinge and then fell backwards twisting the bottom hinge right around...
Big hammer and start again!





Found out today, that last night, but not storm related, my youngest son Ben had this happen:

Coming around a roundabout to meet a Clio coming the wrong way, driven by a Romanian.
He had entered the country yesterday, bought the Clio, and was racing some other Romanians in a Passat.
Wrong side of road, around the roundabout the wrong direction, with no insurance.

Police called, questioned him, took all his details, but he is probably already back in Romania by now..


My gates are just an irritant in comparison

Sorry to read about Ben: let's hope the culprits are caught. Gates are fixable and a nuisance and time and patience...
 
Put the Z back in the garage after new rear brakes on the oil burner and the low temp buzzer (below 3deg) was sounding.
