ANOTHER BIG STORM

I have just finished clearing up after the storm that hit Denmark on 28 October. Clearing up means getting rid of all the leaves, chopping up the two trees that fell down, and similar stuff. So it is a bit annoying to find that a second one is currently raging over the country.

Although mooted to be not quite as violent as the earlier one, it will last longer, nearly a full 24 hours. All of the bridges connecting the country's islands are closed, train and ferry services have stopped, and the police have advised everyone to stay indoors. Advice which I am heeding.

Hopefully, all of the trees set to fall down came down a month ago. But it's not until tomorrow that I will find out if that is true or not.
