Wear a condom when painting?

Is my brushwork that bad?
I have neither the time or the crayons to explain why you are wrong.

Compared what we've had here over the last 10 days or so...last night could only described as mildly unpleasant.
It rained...But no-where near as much as it often does.....And I didn't hear the wind howling once. (Believe me....you DO hear it when it does !)
Haven't checked outside yet...But I'd be surprised if there were even any very small branches down.

From what I've heard on the news this morning the awful stuff was (and is) well South and looping around us.
Hope Nik's OK....and it sounds as though Ray's getting a bit of a battering at the moment...
Good luck to them...and to everyone else in the firing line.

Take care. Cheers - Phil.

Yep, nothing really here other than a spell of torrential rain and strong, gusting winds for around 15 minutes at 5.00am. Had far worse normal storms than the supposed 10 year storm of last night.

Good to hear all is well. Here in the North West I was more disturbed by the Cat yowling at 3am than I was by any eatherrelated phenomonon.

However, this did involve some clearing up in the morning, as he yowled until he puked.  >:( again.  >:(

Yep - that was a bit of an anticlimax really...it was pretty blowy on Exmoor & pretty wet, but quite disappointing really.

Did have a couple of drinks & did some painting though  ;)

Had to drive all around the houses this morning just to get the other half to a functioning tube-line so that she could get in to work. Some fairly frequent falls of timber around here. Railways used it as an excuse to stay in bed.

For Pete's sake, Nik, what are you doing all the way up there? There are pretty houses and there are comfortable houses but there are precious few comfortable pretty houses. If it's more than a ten minute walk to the nearest pub pull up the drawbridge - you're in the barbarian zone.
When you realise we're all mad, life makes a lot more sense.
