In the "News" today.

I have to get up early tomorrow - if my alarm clock is cut off in the night, I'll be livid. I've ironed a shirt just in case.

I like the 'money no object' from Cameron when he's turfing old people out of homes run by Councils, selling off respite centres for people with special needs children and not providing things like decent meals on wheels services - he'll cut an entire city's budget by £60m but won't think twice about his Thames Valley commuter belt chums.

My mains powered alarm clock has a battery backup in case of power outage, amazing what they think up isn't it....

Ha! So does mine! I have to get up to go in early for a meeting - who the feck arranges a meeting at 7.30am?!

I did. FML

There's a big power cut in the North of the City tonight after a lightening strike, I know because it seemed to just miss me and I now have to change my underwear!

And hails, fek me did it hail!

Tell me about the freakin hail. I was out with the doggy. I thought oh, it's stopped raining, I'll just wear a hoodie and a scarf and put me wellies on.

Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiig mistake. Feckin hail the size of medicine balls, thunder, lightening (very very frightening - sorry, that's another thread   ), the dog scarpered for his life with the first flash of lightening, I was cowering under a tree to try and keep dry. All in all, a momentous feck-up of a dog walk. 

I was at Roborough traffic lights and I could have swore that the lightening struck on the grass a few feet away. It was like a nucular blast, everything went white and with the wind so strong I could hardly hold the bike upright. Before the lights had a chance to turn green there was about half an inch of ice on the road!

This weather really is quite odd.

I was pruning a tree at the time the lighting came using my telescopic loppers. The loppers are 3.6m long and it is made of metal.I very quickly dropped the loppers and jumped into the van. Like gob I needed to change my underwear soon after.

Years ago I was sleeping on a beach in a big horse-shoe bay and a lightning storm came. It was fascinating to see it hit the water in front of us and dance around on the surface. Fascinating .... and a bit frightening.

One of the sub stations in Tavvy got hit and it started a fire, the town centre was all dark this arvo but we are all right in the sticks.

You have electric out there?

Fekkin northerners are moaning it's a tadge breezy up there.   

You big wussies. Here's one of my favourite prints, of Penzance prom. I look at it every day.
1889 and sort of still sums up our weather

I made a hailman today with the help of two coins a marble and a pen lid.

Big earthquake in china.

No, that's far too good to be in mundane. I think you should auction it.

Only if you kept it in your freezer in the meanwhile.

Nah - the photo itself would be worth thousands.

I was going to post a pic of what's left of Hailman, but I'm not sure ATD could cope with the trauma.

Coins thieved,marble rolled away and only a puddle & a pen top left.

And those coins aren't even pennies! Bloody cheapskate!

Camerons 'money no object' for flood victims and for flood and coastal defenses is looking a bit wobbly......Daily Telegraph mentions that Cameron is asking Brussels for help.
 
That will cost us in the end....renegotiating what we pay to the EU will be straight out the window.
