A wild day!

We popped out to the shops this morning before the weather got too bad, but this afternoon it's really wild up here on Oban Hill. Very gusty with trees and shrubs blowing about horribly - I'm always afraid that something will come down! It's going to be a tough night for the witches tonight, out on their broomsticks!

So it's an indoor Blip today. We were given a couple of (almost) white Christmas cacti last year by a family member who didn't like them. They're both flowering very well now, even if a touch early for Christmas! I used to know them as Zygocactus, but they're now classed as Schlumbergera.

Limerick of the Day:

A mechanic from County Fermanagh,
Serviced cars in a cursory mannagh.
Just a wipe of the coil,
A quick check of the oil,
And a couple of turns with a spannagh.
