Fine thanks, Stefan - although I did come home early to check that the roof was still on ; the news bulletins were getting increasingly hysterical.

Slightly O/T but it makes you think - thousands get killed in Iraq, Bangladesh, Turkey or wherever and it just about makes the news. 'Small tornado - six injured' gets almost as much coverage as the outbreak of WWII ; maybe it's because it's about a mile-and-a-half from the BBC's head office....

I suppose the old saying still holds true - 'Dog bites man' = no news. 'Man bites dog'...that's NEWS ....
