It's too wet.
We have a typhoon on our doorstep just now, bobbing around to the west of us. It's a baby one but likely to grow as it's over the sea.
But there's a monster of a typhoon just off Taiwan.
It's a funny old world as it is too dry here and we have strict water rationing, etc.It's too wet.

Workmen are installing new smoke detectors throughout the block. Which is all fine and dandy but they have to be tested and I'm now all beeped out.

Looked out this morning and fog was blanketing the Sound but higher ground seemed clear so headed out at 7 o'clock on the trike. Pleasantly warm at 14C with no wind and a nice exercise run with 2 cars and the service bus on the road.
The verges had been cut but at one point he seems to have lifted his blades for a couple of yards and left some orchids but everything else was scalped quite unnecessarily.
When I went to bed last night I felt an itch behind one knee and I knew immediately what this was. A bl---y tick had got me.
This was invisible unless using a mirror so mirror balanced on a box on a stool with mirror on top. Tick tools deployed and head torch on. Nightmare job. Try working behind your knee trying to get the tool correctly placed upside down using a mirror. In the end I had to use the needle nose tweezers to get the thing as the normal removal tools were impossible to get in place. Not ideal but it worked and I use tea tree oil after extraction which seems to sooth the wound.
One of the disadvantages of living on your own as somebody else could have got the thing immediately with no drama.

We had a MGB with steel bumpers for a while. Eventually the rust got too extensive for me and it went to somebody in Wales who was going to restore it. He drove the whole way up to Mull and towed it back home so obviously keen.

It's still out in the Western Pacific just now but it's due to hit northern Taiwan by the end of the week, according to Windytv, so I think he'll be getting out of the way very soon. It's a cat 4 so a biggie.
Later this week.
