No Mans Land

My parents recommended this to me when we were fixing the fence that the
wind had trashed. Im glad I got it out, a great film that explores the
absurdities of modern day warfare. Set in the bosnian conflict it follows
the story of 3 soldiers trapped in no mans land, 2 bosnians and a serb. And
the completely ineffective and hamstrung UN. Depressing as are all films
exploring the depths of human stupidity, but a great film nonetheless.

So im done watching movies today, I now have some rugby games, a league
game, and a pile of Olympics to watch.

Enough already.

Ok, im officially over the wind. I think the piece of metal did come off
someone elses house. And Ive collected all the bits of the front fence I
could find so I think I can rebuild the fence. So if the wind would just
bugger off Id be happy.
Snurrie managed to break our salad oil serving bottle, as well as 2 wine
goblets today and the power is flaky as hell. All in all the day sucked.

This wind sucks

Ok so im wet cold and slightly worried. There is a bunch of solid heavy crap
flying around out there. A big chunk of metal got caught around the
powerline to our house before, and was bashing itself against the roof. I
think (hope) it came off someone elses roof, i guess ill find out in the
daylight.
Someone upwind from us must have left a pile of boxes outside as one of them
smashed through the trellis in our fence and continued on its way up the road.
So i’ll have to try and fix that tomorrow morning before my optometrists
appointment. Winter .. who needs it.
