It's a good job we are high up and on sloping ground so no chance of major flooding. Hope no one gets washed away over the next few days. David @ a very wet side of Swansea Bay. Foul and disgusting weather here, even dripping through onto the stone flags where a porch joins an outside door! It takes some rain and wind power to achieve that! We had to forego the New Year's Day flower count! Foul weather here, too. Ugh!. It wasn't until it was dark that I remembered the NYD Flower count. First time I've missed it. Mind you, I did have a minor emergency earlier in the day which completely distracted me. We'll all have to wait for next NYD now. I'm sure a day or so late wont matter that much. I hope Spider's emergency really was minor and while I won't be able to do ours tomorrow, thanks to family commitments, I'll hope to do it on Friday, weather permitting. Bless you, Sacha! It was nothing to harm either of us, thankfully, but a terrified elderly neighbour in the realms of Alzheimers with Lewy Bodies who turned up on our doorstep. Not for the first time, poor lady. She was in a dreadful state due to a totally imaginary but nightmarish scenario. I spent some time with her, and eventually her daughter came to rescue her. Daughter and I both stayed with her until she came to her true mind and was fit enough to go home. We are grateful that she always remembers to come here. We don't mind, although it is very sad to see an old friend so affected. It is good to be the port in a friend's often bizarre storm. We just hope she has some calm days now. Thank you for your kind thoughts, though :~). -- Spider. On high ground in SE London gardening on heavy clay |
