This bloody wind !!!!

Wise words from WSC.

A difficult time perhaps, but it won't last long. Do you recall 16 -17 October 1987? GS

So that's why Screwfix sent me an email concerning the gale warning!

Hope things are sorted before the baby arrives!

Indeed.

I could tell you stories about our babies' arrivals - but so could every parent.

Hmmm... my tv aerial, which I don't use much, is now at a 45 degree angle.

...

Ok, you win.

I had two very similar ones, from Screwfix and CPC.

I'm happy with it. Got two more jobs in today to refix fences :-)

Its an ill wind....................

Be sure and make time for the most important job..... getting to know the babe!

Priorities! Forget the fence, forget the tree, put kitchen on hold, get heating working and tend to wife (or tend to wife and get heating working depending on how much she feels the cold!). Then have a beer and reflect on what's important in life. Then make a plan.

Hah! When my wife was eight months pregnant with out first, she was up in the kitchen roof space pulling cables! (I'd hurt my back and couldn't even bend as much as she could).

How she fitted I'll never know...baby was 25in and 10lb 5oz.

One side, 2 4' fence panels gone (belong to neighbour). Other side, 100' of 6' high feather borded arris rail fence nearly all down. Two posts I repaired with metapost spikes a couple of years ago have lifted the concrete out of the ground, and all the others are snapped off at the ground. A strong 6' high panel fence at the end fitted by neighbour a couple of years ago is now leaning. As far as I can see, nothing has broken, but the concrete footings in the ground have moved. Facia strip which runs up the roof edge on the gable end wall snapped in half. No idea where the detached half has gone; only a small piece of it was to be found in a neighbour's garden. My ladder doesn't go anything like high enough to fix this.
