Bloody wind

[Fab1]

I've been home the last two days sick bored out of my brain,when suddenly while lying on the lounge I hear a loud crash...I thought bloody hell a tree just came down.

I went outside to investigate and found this.a tree limb had come down and narrowly missed the fence with no damage done but a few branches and rubbish in the pool.Very lucky indeed,could have been replacing some fencing today.Just what I need being sick and all.

Lucky escape there mate! Agree about the wind... It's driving me insane up here. I'm not sick but have time out and still can't get out there fishing! Grrrrr!!!

Cheers scratchie!!!

They don't call gum trees ' widow makers ' for nothing!

Cheers,

One thing about retirement, if it is windy one day, can always wait another day to go fishing.

I was at my parents home years ago during a windy day when there was a knock on the door and it was the woman who lived directly behind. I never heard a thing but the gum tree in our back yard had completely blown over and fell through a small gap between our fernhouse and avery without doing any damage to either, flattened the back fence and landed lengthways along a car the woman had in her backyard for parts and flattened it like a pancake, took out her clothesline and fell just short of her back verandah!
