Getting back to normal

This morning I've been busy trying to locate people to invite them to the Pub Xmas meal. I keep getting engaged tones. Clearly everyone's busy.

This afternoon the Fox is thinking of having a go at window cleaning. The car was so filthy after the storm on Thursday evening, he'd had to wipe the worst off before we set off to the Pub yesterday. It was impossible to see out of the window otherwise. He's hoping to do a more thorough job today & maybe even do something about the house windows, which are also now filthy. It was quite strange going along the prom to the Pub yesterday & seeing piles of sand on the land side of the road. Presumably it had all been blown over in the 90mph+ winds.

It comes as quite a shock today to see bright blue skies & shrubbery standing almost still after a couple of days of such strong winds. I'm just relieved no damage seems to have been done. A little mortar has come off the roof but I don't think it's sufficient to cause any problems. We've been lucky. Many fences around have come down. Trees have lost branches.

At last blessed calm has returned. For a bit at least.
