Quick Post Tonight

Just a quicky tonight as I am getting picked up for my TT match shortly.

Today we are been battered with very high winds and some areas have flood warnings in place. I know a few people have lost their roofs to the wind and a number of Lorries have been blown over. It is supposed to die down by the morning (I hope).

Rebecca,
Lorries are trucks.

Sandii,
Thats amazing I only started exploring North American Cities less than two years ago and have so far visited 7 (1 canadian & 6 USA).
The thing is the 4 you name SF, Chicago, St Louis & Memphis are all in my 6.
Chicago is my favorite I've now been 5 times but I'm sure you'll enjoy them all.
You can check out my stories from some of these places from the "Labels" on this blog.
You can also check out my photos from some of these if you check "My photos" blog from the link although I've still to post some of my recent Chicago trips and St Louis. I'll try get it done.

Oral/Jenny/RNG,
Weather has improved.
We drew the match but I won all three of my matches.
My arm hurt like hell I think I've got Tennis elbow.

Richard,
Just post your votes with comments on the Music Monday Post (above the video clips). Or if you wish can comment on individual songs on each clip.
When placing Comments if you choose "Other" instead of Anonymous you can enter you name.

I'm glad the weather has calmed down Mick. I'm doing catch up now with reading blogs, etc. Your female stress diet had me laughing outloud. I was at first put off by the grapefruit for breakfast. I actually tried a grapefruit diet a looooooong time ago. Like you, I dislike grapefruit. Needless to say the diet didn't work. Chocolate and wine, now that would be good.

Mick, hope you are safe! You could check your female neighbors and make sure their eyebrows didn't blow off (hahhaha). Rach

Oral said...

Where have you been?? Are you yanking too hard? Tennis elbow...yeah OK.

ArleneWKW said...

I hope you don't mind me using your comment space for this, but I'm having a hard time changing my profile photo and want to see if I finally succeeded.

ArleneWKW said...

Yaaaaaaaaay! And finally.

Suzy said...
