The Anchorage, Part 3

[Terre]

We got a bit of rain today!

 

[Miss B]

YAY!!! It's about time.

 

[Terre]

It was nice.
Only .2 inches so I still needed to water the front but it was good anyway.

 

[Terre]

I hope Mytho is doing OK. Friends in Britain are talking about high winds with gale force gusts.

 

[Miss B]

Uh Oh, that's not good.

 

[Rae134]

We had high winds last night in Qld, Aus too, had trouble sleeping with all the banging outside

 

[Miss B]

Mother Nature must be really pissed off at us with all this bad weather everywhere. ~sheesh~

 

[Mythocentric]

She's trying! 15C, Fresh WSW breeze with heavy rain at the moment!

 

[Miss B]

Hey Mytho, glad to see your still safe.

 

[Mythocentric]

Not too bad at the moment. Breezy and overcast, no rain at the moment with the temperature around 15 C. Feels more like mid-October rather than August/September which are usually our best months. It helps that we are about half-way along the south shore of the Bay which affords us some protection. Further west is a different matter. I've seen the harbour at nearby Heysham (on the western outskirts of Morecambe) with waves sweeping over the outer mole during really bad storms. Pretty rare occasions though because we have a rather large place called Ireland offshore from us which helps deflect the brunt of the worse weather, as I'm sure Bonnie can attest to. Not always though. Three years ago unusually high, storm-driven tides caused the Heysham nuclear power station, which uses seawater for cooling, to shut down which left us without power for four days!

 

[Terre]

I hope that last part doesn't happen again, Mytho!
Mild weather here.

 

[Mythocentric]

Fingers, legs and eyes crossed Terre!

 

[Terre]

Good luck Mytho.
We have rain! Specifically a thunderstorm.

 

[Mythocentric]

We had a prediction for thunderstorms but, so far, no sign. At least not under our bit of the sky. Looks like Thor* was busy elsewhere!


Terribly bad Thor joke:**

Valkyrie: Excuse me! Aren't you Thor?
Thor: Yeth I am and I'm sick of it. Theth leather trousers grip something awful when you're all thweaty!

**Thank you Emma!

 

[Miss B]

 

[Terre]

Good evening.

 

[Terre]

Good evening.
How are you guys doing?

 

[Mythocentric]

Hi Terre! Hiding from the weather and catching up on some reading!

 

[Terre]

Hiding from the heat here.
Catching up on reading sound good.

 

[Mythocentric]

Yeah! Still overcast and rainy here so I've been indulging in a bit of a Terry Pratchett-fest. I've read all the Discworld novels at least three times so I've been catching up with his other stuff like Nation, Strata, The Dark Side of the Sun, etc. I've even managed to get our Lucy involved with his The Witches Vacuum Cleaner. Whoot!
