So glad to hear from you, Norma, and know that you were safe even though all hell seemed to be breaking loose around you. Glad there was only minimal damage to your house and so cool that you were able to sew through it all!

Lois, I didn't, so I'm happy. You bet one of my cats didn't like it either. She was wandering around restlessly while it was really bad

How frightening, Norma! I am so glad you are safe and that you were able to continue to work during the height of the storm. It's always a comfort to be working with fabric and thread when outside the weather is anything but cosy. Take care. Hope you don't find more damage in the daylight.

I can report that I never heard sounds in my house like the ones yesterday. It was scaring, but the damage at my house seems to be minimal. I have a wooden fence where parts were put down but I'm nearly finished painting boards for a new one so that was really a help. Then some heavy furniture were laying on the ground and I found a roof tile on the ground. That is the worst because yesterday I couldn't locate where it had been sitting.
This happened mid afternoon when I thought the storm was over but I was hardly inside my door when it raised again to new heights, so there might be more things to explore in today's daylight. I can't complain, the power stayed on so I could sew . There were a lot of trees fallen on the roads and people were caught in their cars and train for several hours. Today the sun is shining and the air is clear and bright

Very happy to know you are safe--we are hearing that London has taken a beating and it's been quite ferocious in the Netherlands, Denmark, Germany and France.

A lot milder in this neck of the woods too I am glad to report.

Pleased to report it missed us in the Midlands, just heard another due next week. Been several deaths in the South and quite a bit of property damage.

Well Renata, the storms missed us in Scotland so we have been fine. The south of England was getting it really bad. It is usually the other way around.

To our friends in northern Europe, how are you faring with the terrible storms and ferocious winds whipping through? We're getting a lot of news coverage of it here in the States and hope you all are safe and protected.

Thank goodness! With the sped up up time line I was tryign to figure out when I might see it. Hopefully not until after the first of the year...

Phew

Lorna you can breath now

I think you might be right about the timing Lois. Unfortunately it is a bank holiday weekend here and I am gone from Monday so I won't be able to get Patricia in for a service until monday week. I hope you don't have too much money riding on me getting it done in 30 days Renata?

Don't forget, Wendy, 30 days for Rita... once she gets started, there's no stopping her! Very well so far, dear Captain Rita, looks like you are enjoying fair winds AND following seas!
