Come fly with me

Not today I won't, it's blowing a gale out there.

I haven't been anywhere on foot today because I would probably have done a Mary Poppins, without the umbrella.

To be fair, it has chucked down an incredible amount of Lime tree helicopter seeds, which are being rearranged on the lawn with every gust.  Even the Tulip tree that I can see from my office window has lost a few branches and looks more like a shrub by the hour.

Call me cynical but has anyone else wondered if yesterday's power cuts were engineered by someone testing how easy it would be to shut down Britain?
