Horrible wind!

Just look what the gale's done to our white lilac! I know I was getting desperate for a blip this wet day, but not that desperate! At least it's split vertically, so there is some tree left - the bit where the birds' nuts hang. I loathe the wind at the best of times, but this makes me feel sad on an already-feeling-low day. Hey ho. At least the car wasn't parked there, as it often is. Must be thankful for small mercies.

Son's birthday today - which I why I am able to observe that I've only known two dry sevenths of June in the past 33 years. Off line-dancing tonight (if I dare drive in this wild weather). That usually cheers me up. Normal jolly service will resume asap.
