Shed 2 (The Gazebo)

Have you ever thought of replacing the steel strings with nylon strings?

There were so many damaged roofs that the islands have run out of spare tiles, and we'll all have to wait until the sea is calm enough for the freight ship to dock (not just with tiles, but food etc too, obviously.)

Hope everything gets sorted out for you. Whereabouts exactly are you? - my wife has been to Lewis and thought it was wonderful. It's a place I'd like to visit at some point (well, you've put me off a bit but still...).

I'm at the southernmost tip of south Harris.  It's all amazing here usually.
I saw somebody's shipping container had been rolled over onto their car.  It takes something special to roll a shipping container.

Is your shed OK?

Outer Hebrides. I moved up here from London a few months ago.

What marvellous weather we've been having.
On Thursday night we were visited by a big storm, with winds over 100mph which blew loads of slate tiles off the roof - some of them landed over 100 yards from the house.  The roof right above (well, about seven feet above) my sleeping head was struck by lightning, blowing several concrete ridge tiles about twenty feet and the telephone line was frazzled.  One of the guy lines of the telephone pole outside the house was pulled up, along with the wooden railway sleeper it was attached to, which had been a foot underground.  And of course we lost all power, heating, phone, internet etc for the next sixty seven hours. 
The weather's still playing up, and another storm is coming the day after tomorrow.

How is it where you are?

Bloody hell - found one of my old patented methane accelerators behind the lawn mower; wonder if it still works?

I've found some copies of NME from the 80s. Let's see - 'ELP responsible for nuclear proliferation' 'Rush cause 8 species a day to go extinct' 'Genesis start the Falklands war' - funny, I remember them being much more anti prog than that.

It appears the dynamite you used to clear the garden had a somewhat adverse effect on the shed.
