The awning I put over our back patio broke its support wires and was flapping around wildly.  Managed to take it down entirely during a brief break between the gusts.

Marge woke up overnight following a big bang.  No, a loud noise outside.
I seem to have slept through it all, and Marge didn't want to wake me.  Love Marge.
The bird table had been blown over and is now lying on the ground, looking a bit twisted too.
She went out, it seems, to have a proper look and I slept through the lot. 
I haven't been out to look yet as it's pouring down.  Also some roofing material has blown off  a protruding window in our bedroom.
According to the weather app. the strong winds will continue all day, with rain.
I'm not going out to put the bird table up again, yet, because I'm sure it will blow over again.  The weather people say it will continue through the whole day.
Anyone else had such problems last night?

Brilliant!  Cats are God's best creation, in my view.  Unlike dogs, they do what they want, not what we tell them to do!

no i think its great, thank for completeing my cycle...lol

yes when it rains here at least they use warm water..lol

the funny thing is that the monsoon signals the end of summer, whats left is classed as winter

xmas its below 30...lol.. ok quite a bit below, but on its worse day you never require a jacket..

the downside of Goa is the domestic tourists, most of India is hindu, and proper hindu's are all for Prohibition
every so often it raises its ugly head demanding it be made the law..
consequently the rebels head for Goa, mostly leaving their manners at home in their moms house,
the boys who wait on the tables get the brunt of their ignorance [and no tips]
I generally tip whats below 100/- if its well below depending on the service i leave a whole pound ROFL

i got 10,000 from the ATM it used to be one rupee =one penny but last week for 10,000 my bank took £79  i was amazed..

when i first came it was about 64 to the pound and we were quite rich. but now its about 130 to the pound i feel quite happy,

when i was last on this site i was averaging 500 rps for my evening meal and my alcohol now its closer to 900 but still...lol..

i generally get two friedeggs on toast for breakfast plus two cups of coffee 150/- being flash i give 200 which is about £1.50,

i generally just eat fruit for lunch and stay out of the sun then reappear after seven...



so please remind me why arent you all in the empty room next to mine?

VisionQuest ; its a new miniseries, i have just found it but not got into it yet, but it looks good
