[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2197114, member: 238814"] Just been out to get some fresh food shopping to last me next few days. I only eat fresh stuff now since I don't know if other stuff has hidden ingredients that might affect blood sugars. My wind had settled, I hoped, and I made it there and back! Anyway I wanted to check my roof, and can do that from a little distance away in the car. My roof seems fine - chimney and other flues all seem intact. Then I rounded a corner, and nearly braked in shock...OMG...this bungalow (I don't know the people) had had it's roof half blown off, tiles every where, ridge tiles strewn, and the dormer window had been blown in/out (was a window left ajar in the storm?). It made me wonder why the wind picks on one roof to demolish but not another. I checked my roof again from the car when I got back. Then I went in the back garden to check the garage roof - it has mineralised felting stuff on it, and looked intact when I last checked it out. But one corner has lifted and I think that was done with the rogue workmen next door when he had his garage roof done. It has lifted more, and I am thinking the wind could rip a strip off. No way (all my stuff is in the garage), so me and a ladder, and a concrete block is now put on that corner. I am pretty certain the wind won't move that. But I am in bed now with backache and feeling a bit frail. I do need some sleep. I hope that temporary fix was worth it, and I will get that dealt with soon. Electric blanket is on and cat Popeye is fast asleep on it. Now I need to fall asleep, but all I can see in my mind is that half blown off bungalow roof round the corner.. [/QUOTE]
