      Indeed! Must have been pretty uncomfortable to say the least…

      We got lucky. The day after the typhoon. So nice skies and a bit of sun. Plus a few gusts left to cool things down just a bit.

      Not the nicest, is it? And that was a relatively clean part…

    As someone with Anglo-Nordic genes myself, I can fully relate. But then ‘Only Mad Dogs and Englishmen. . .’ Cheers Lee !

      Indeed. An awful lot of truth in that little ditty!
