Venezuela: A gondola with a harpoon.

Frugal: A search engine for fruit.
But enough of this merriment, there's a 200mph jet stream somewhere up there in the sky and it's dragging weather across us at a vast rate of knots, including the wind. OK, so the wind itself is not running at 200mph, or even 100, but something just... went somewhere behind the house. An almighty crack followed by something crashing a little further up the hill.
I'm just wondering if it's the new roof that I put on the shed/pavillion and have been meaning to reinforce all summer.
The problem was we didn't really have a summer.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.
Meanwhile 'they' have updated the predictions of flooding given the new weather patterns that they're expecting these global-warmed days. On the big map we're still not in a particularly dangerous area, but on a local level the housing estate opposite us and all the new building that they're committing on the marsh alongside us has resulted in us being 'upgraded' a little.
To put it in a nutshell, we should be applying for sandbags.
We're not alone. There's now a travelling roadshow selling anti-flooding produce touring the country. Fortunately we're still insured against it (Flooding, not the roadshow...) so when it hits us (The roadshow, not the flooding) we shall ignore it like the fools we are, and complain like hell when we do get flooded.
