Storm of the Century of the Week - UPDATED

Well, once again, Mother Nature jerked the football away just as Dee Cee was about to kick it through the uprights - we got a fair bit of rain from the latest Storm of the Century of the Week, but nothing else.

However, late this afternoon the wind began to pick up. This was enough for Virginia Power to suffer one of its numerous outages, with the result that dinner at Orgle Manor consisted of cold-cuts by the light of the Advent wreath, while bed-time story was the last three chapters of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe read by firelight in the library.

Not a bad thing, I suppose.
