Thank Goodness for online banking & having separate accounts! Some toe rags from Malaysia & USA have hacked my bank details some how & spent a fair bit on games on the computer & buying things on PayPal! Did I get alerted about unusual activity - doh I have never paid for games, and ...

Have to mention - did they loot & shoot? No found & shared! Did they wail & shout? No got on with it! Biggest typhoon ever & facing chaos they remain dignified! I know there will be elements of bad behaviour but my thoughts have to go out to them & congratulations to the press fo...

OH & CC!

Great News PJ! You must have expert cardiologists if procedure was transmitted to the States! NHS is still proving it's worth! (Wonder what that will cost the poor patient's in the States??)

Good Luck PJ! Trust them!

PS Don't touch it (manure) until told though - infection risk is quite high!

House intact but lost another roof pane on my greenhouse. Went down to lottie to secure everything in the afternoon and found my netting & black plastic all off but thankfully caught up in the fence - this was before the storm so will be interesting to see what's left now! Few trees down on the ...
