#wildweather

Good Morning to Wednesday, 22nd, 6.22, 4.2dg, 26.2 ml overnight rain and after the early evening weather warning from my insurer Uniqa the storm front came through... and did it come through. There were things crashing and banging around outside and it became so bad that at 21.30 I went outside to see what on earth was happening. My big 400 litre water tank was thrown on the ground, and the terrasses were littered with things from the tables and the cushions from the chairs and the leaves... that is one way for mother nature to clear the trees. I will be interested to see the surroundings when it becomes daylight, and with the outside temps having dropped dramatically over night it will be interesting to see if there is a snow line above.Yesterday was an on off weather day but I managed to get two trips up to the recycler to remove all the bottles from the weekend's festivities... it is so embarrassing as you stand there feeding a stream of bottles into the bottle banks, considering they all know I am alone in the house !!! C'est la vie. Last night we had a happy Conversation group, down two on numbers but still very good all the same. A new senior incoming for Friday evening tuition as they have exams coming up... same old same old, waiting until the last couple of weeks before you hit the panic button. Today is a day of teaching a little the English alphabet as it is what her teacher Mother wants... As you do. Later in the afternoon it is my Wednesday girls and they always make me smile. In amongst all of that I will have to fine the time to clean up outside and I have a feeling the fire will be lit early today.
