A great and perilous gale

This is possibly the most boring photograph I have posted on this weblog for many weeks, but in light of the circumstances I feel it is appropriate.

A fierce and most perilous gale is blowing across these parts and I have been in the garden wrestling with our fence which is in the process of falling over. The picture shows it leaning at an angle it is not supposed to lean at and some string I have used to hold the different bits together. It is partly our fault for having old and rotting wooden fenceposts rather than the up to date concrete kind, though some neighbours with concrete fenceposts have lost theirs (for the second time in a week). Another neighbour’s house has tiles coming off it – again for the second time in a week.

It looks like it is chaos on the roads too – Go easy if you are in the UK and travelling. In fact go easy where ever you are and what ever you are doing. Go easy everyone.

Right, back to work, though it is not easy to work when I keep hearing the sound of fences breathing their last.

By the way, thanks for all the positive procrastination comments. One reader sent me this link about why we procrastinate, which I thought was quite interesting.
