Hail

Dear friends,
did not get to much yesterday except pick up and wrap most of a bedroom donated to the flood victims in Romania.
At about 4:30 PM we had a historic hail "attac".
It destroyed three windows, the worst being Lisa`s room. Friends that were helping in the ware-house came along to help. The worst was all the glass laying all over the place.
All the same, we were able to cover the windows with plastic.
Needless to say, Maria's garden took an awful beating.
The hail here was up to five centimetres in diameter.

My worst fear was my grand-daugther, wo was taking a late nap upstairs. Her cot is right under the roof window. But that window held. So did the window in the computer room!

So - although we will be busy cleaning up and fixing for quite a while, and hoping that our insurance will cover most of the damage - we are greatful that our plight is manageble. Many of my neighbours lost much more than the three windows and about 15 roof tiles I had - or still have - to replace!
