Windy

[louiselux]

Holy crap it's so windy - 90 mph winds in some parts of the country today, although they're about 30-40 here. The wind is roaring about the house. I'm concerned about our garden wall, which leans at about an 80 degree angle because of the yew tree growing next to it. Cycling across town the dentist was not fun and I was bright pink and mithered when I arrived. My nice new shoes got splattered with mud too. Humph. Cycling back down the Oxford Road, I was almost at a standstill against the wind. But Joel said my teeth were healthy and I don't need anymore work. A milestone for me - a ten minute, problem free check up.

For those of you that need to waste some quality time, spotted via grendelity: Nun Lander- land the nun safely or she goes to hell. I failed dismally every time and all my nuns crashed and burned. Sorry, nuns.

I've been reading Lucifugous by Elizabeth Bear - a very slashy zeppelin-and-detective-based novella (is that a genre? It should be), downloadable for free here. Lucifugous means... actually it's more fun if you look it up yourself.

Those nuns suck!

They totally do suck. I still haven't managed to land one.

Damn, I got my nun to the third level and then she crashed and burned. Silly nun.

And I don't know what the wind speeds are around here but the huge steel gates in the carpark have just blown off and gone bouncing across the concrete, taking out somebody's car on the way.

I think lunch will be something from the machine. I'm not going out there!

w00t! I got my nun to heaven and met the pope!

Wah! I only made it to sister, then gave up.

Eek! Steel gates! That does not sound good.

I seem to have been recovering garden objects making a bid for freedom most of the morning.

And my nun flew of the side on level three and never came back:(

Damn nuns! *shakes fist*

We currently have a huge piece of billboard poster draped over our front garden - how delightful!

God, you're right, it is incredibly windy. Raleigh Road this morning is like living in a wind tunnel. The roof of the bus stop I was standing at blew away!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Erk! Scary. I'm glad you weren't blown away too.

That game is really absurd. I got to my nun to be a mother! (Mother superior, I guess?) But then she crashed and burned rather spectacularly. Wonder if the levels get harder.

Hooray for teeth being in good shape!

[louiselux.livejournal.com]

Yay teeth!

That nun game is just impossible. I give up!!
