An ill wind

Gosh what larks we've had in the portacabin today. Listening to the wind howling outside, listening to the reports of accidents and road closures, wondering whether the roof was going to be ripped off like the lid of a tin can. Fortunately we escaped unscathed and indeed, early. Due to the various road closures we were allowed to leave mid afternoon providing any urgent work was done. Hurrah! I didn't notice much damage on the journey home save for a couple of trees that had fallen in Little Hulton. I believe they narrowly missed a couple of chavs, it being one of the many chav ghettos in the area. Shame. Oh and what was the afternoon film on Five when I got home? Tornado. Oh how I laughed.

Home was ok by the way. No structural damage but I couldn't see our wheelie bin or recycling tub anywhere. Bro tells me they're in next door's drive sandwiched behind a car.

And finally, just to jump on the bandwagon, on to the debacle that is Big Brother. I am of course, righteously offended. I know I'm white and lower middle class so maybe my feelings don't count much but I do think it is absolutely disgusting. I mean, how many times *do* I have to look at Jade Goody's ugly fat gob flapping about on the telly?
