What a day and night. First, the boiler in the central heating system shut down. We think, or I should say that technician who repaired it thinks, that the system's water pressure was down below where it should be. Hmmm. We've never had this problem nor do we have an explanation as to why it happened. So far this morning, almost 24 hours since the repair, everything is working as it should. Knock on wood.
Then, last evening, a predicted storm moved up the west coast and we got the southern edge of the system as it made its way up to the English Channel. Like I said, it was predicted, but we rocked and rolled all night nonetheless. The power went off once, but it came back pretty quickly. It's still dark outside, so we can't see how the neighborhood fared. The center of the storm is moving north and east through Belgium as I type this.
The wind is calming down now and I'm hopeful that there's little to no damage out there. Tasha has a grooming appointment this morning. So far, it's still on and we're warm.
Glad you’re warm. What a mess. I thought the old wooden stakes had been blown that way. It’s a beautiful image.
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that you are warm.
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you are warm. When the power goes out in the winter, it makes me so grateful that I didn't live in the "old days."
ReplyDeleteI saw Ken's comment that it is said to have been the worst wind in a long time. Yikes!
ReplyDeleteThis photo is great, with the different shades of green and the wood dotted throughout.
