Those European cars must be a little different to those we drive over here, penelope. What I find with the storm bit of your comment is that my wife and I, or one of us, race out to bring in the washing - quite unnecessarily. Still, one cannot ignore the lumps - as mentioned to Rosie - so the odds are 'bring it in', regardless.

And yeah - I nonned sequitured on the windows shutting thing - I meant the house windows blew shut.

Just waiting to hear results of my comp exams now. I've still got school work, but it's back to "normal" . . . for grad school.

[K] Hope they went well. What are you studying?

The temperature in the grounds of Plas Huws has now risen to 33.7°C, no less. I'm not sure why it's nearly 4 degrees warmer than yesterday but I suppose I ought to. Last night on Radio 4 that blithering twat Schaffernaker offered no help, not that he ever does.
