More wind

The previous post was somewhat prophetic, since yesterday we had the strongest winds for nineteen years, with a dozen or so people being killed in the UK. There wasn't much damage around here, and all we lost (so far as I know) was a pane of glass from the greenhouse.

My rooflight survived well. I looked at it more carefully a few days ago, and saw that I had been more careful than I remembered, having provided the plastic with a protective flashing of lead to hold it in place; the lead in turn is nailed to the wooden frame of the skylight. There was a little leakage of water from the driven rain, but nothing that could not be mopped up.
