Alone in the night

Well I finally got out and took a look at Riverdance. The wreck has now been written off, the term being used was a 'Constructive Loss.' They still want to float it away. There is 60,000 tons of scrap metal there after all. But if we have much more bad weather I think they'll be cutting it up on the beach. Not a pretty prospect for the residence of Clevelys who'll suddenly have lots of scrap metal lorries driving through their town.

Parents

Well I got to go visit my parents this weekend. It was really good to see them as it had been some time since we last met. My dad seems to have found great satisfaction in learning how to use his wood lathe, and Mum is now giving demonstrations in making greeting cards.
On a sadder note, Shadow is getting on and is now deaf and nearly blind. I bet he would be really good at pinball! He seems pretty happy though and still enjoys his walks and playing with Breeze.
I left the South West just as a huge storm front was rolling in. I had a pretty uneventful journey home. But I was lucky to leave when I did as the pictures on the news look pretty catastrophic. That said my parents reported little except a new record low on their barometer.
