Mundane facts about your day...

[John Marwood]

Crashed my car

Low speed hit, enough damage to need a whole new front end and my anxiety levels have gone through the roof

Replace front end with the roof you went through - celebrate knowing that by being anxious you are in fact still alive

I have spent the last three days, up to and including today, shouting.

Now i can barely speak.

I'm actually quite tired.

Wow...just seen a few massive flashes of lightening and some big claps of thunder to add to the torrential rain

It was hailing on me.....

Thunder and hail here, need to put the bin out but think I'll wait a bit.

This comes up with none round me....

But, they admit one here - https://www.westernpower.co.uk/Power-outages/What-s-Happening/Power-Cut-Map.aspx - with a restore time of 19:30.

You may need to put your own postcode in.

Seems to be about 1,500 houses, if that makes you feel less personally victimised.

As long as the rest of the street are out I won't feel victimised... and they are. Good thing I know where the torch/batteries/candles are!

Apparently the train station is without power too for anyone that needs to get a train or is expecting someone by train.

Our postcode ST4 is on the list but we still have power at the moment. But saying that, our lights have kept dimming whilst I've been typing..

I've just come past the windmill roundabout and it is all in darkness towards the station (college including) and as far as Castletown.

The odd thing is, Wilko's signage facing the college is out, but the other sign above the entrance is shining bright like a diamond. Different parts of the grid, I suspect.

We haven't lost power. Did lose internet for a while, caused as much panic as if Sainsburys decided not stock Galaxy chocolate ever again.

The lights were flickering on and off as I lay in the bath

Power went to the college about 5:45, I was still in there at the time.

After Leonard Cohen, now Robert Vaughn, a very funny straight guy
