Yes, thank you, I and my house are okay. When the window cleaner comes, he's probably going to swear... I live near the sea, and all my windows are covered in dried, sticky seawater.

The forecasters say we might get more storms next week - I hope they aren't anywhere near the hurricane force winds we've experienced recently. I feel so sorry for all those people whose homes have been flooded. They are saying that the water probably won't recede until May at the earliest.
