It's all gone a bit Dr Who

Henry the spider has taken a turn into sci-fi for the evening. Let's hope he destroys the evil fruit flies and mosquitoes before dawn.

So, a slow-blip day today - not much going on, except the great big winds. F saw a large tree that had fallen on two vehicles in Clapham, squashing them to half their height. We hope that no one was hurt. Certainly there's no news about it, which is good news.

The guinea-pig trio spent another day indoors, and Sybil had her nails done. She's very docile and sueaked only once to warn me that I was too near the quick. She has dark nails so it's quite hard to judge how far I can go with the evil nail clippers.
