Gnomon - time to move on Started conversation Dec 10, 2014
It was very windy last night. Felt like a gale but not a storm. The wind snapped the top off my umbrella as I was walking home. I had to walk in the driving rain.
During the night it took one pane out of the greenhouse and damaged the door. I'll spend the morning fixing that. Luckily there are very few plants in the greenhouse at the moment. The door just needs to be removed and put back on. And I've a spare pane if I can't find the other one.

Well, Tue should stop being such a blowhard.

I'm sure the greenhouse did not suffer, though, as the incident was paneless.

We had horrible wind and rain too last night.

Three gaffers out walking:
"Windy today, isn't it?"
"No, it's Thursday!"
"Me too, let's have a drink!"

I saw a report that on the really windy night, a 52-foot wave was spotted hitting the coast of Donegal. That's 16 metres. As high as four double-decker buses, according to the report.

Do double-decker buses normally stack on top of each other?

I will keep that in mind the next time I'm on the 14th floor of a building in Hong Kong.
