So the wind blew again and the world came to a standstill.
It was the brakes on the car I had to have done this time, and so I got the train to work in the morning. The wind blew the roof off the station so I had to get a coach home, it took two hours. Lovely!
Well it was a pleasant green coach so that's not bad.
I arrived home only to find that the wind had blown the felt roof off the bay window of our house. This is at the back of the house and years ago I built a section of the model railway into a window seat under the bay, this is normally covered with an upholstered seat. It is now completely ruined by the rain - you see we don't normally see this felt roof and it was only when our nice neighbours from round the back of the house came round to tell us that we knew something was wrong - 24 hours after the wind blew it off! Moral - always check your back room as well as the front room!
Hopefully I'll be able to post this to my blog. We went wireless last month and new security software on the PC and XP and all that and even though I've allowed popups at two levels of security there is obviously another layer still blocking the preview popups !!! Grrr!!!!
