It certainly wasn't "selfish gene". The mac spellcheck strikes again at a fat finger. Read "fence" for "gene". *))

I've just been out a nailed two of the half-attached pieces back up in a force 7/8. There'll be some real problems out there with the amount of people out and gusts strong enough to blow down trees. I really fear for traffic on the Devon Roads. A day not to be unlucky and a day not to travel down here, if you don't need to. I've postponed my gym visit until tomorrow, as it is hunker down territory. Sadly, I fear the need for christmas shopping/bargains will prove too much for some.
