I received a somewhat sensitive package today for work (from an international partner). The envelope contained another envelope, packaged between these 2 sheets of paper

@Thrillho What did you think about Anderson & Broad getting dropped before the Windies test? Apparently Broad was quite confused and angry about it and some pundits said that the Ashes defeat would have been much worse if it wasn't for the two of them. I also wonder why our tail-enders couldn't have worked on their batting to perform more like the Australian tail-enders.

@Voltan Brilliant. Renew that partner's contract, right now.

Got sent home from work earlier as window smashed in the office. No one was hurt thankfully. Stay safe out there if anyone is out travelling, it is pretty wild out there, in the UK at least.

@Voltan Yeah a store roof has been ripped off by the wind in the town centre where I live, and seeing pictures like the one below.

@JohnnyShoulder It's pretty crazy, yeah. I'm on the second floor of my building and, when a particularly strong gust of wind comes along, everything shakes. Feels like an earthquake.

Glad you and all your colleagues are unharmed, and hope everybody reading this is staying safe.

@RogerRoger Yeah my desk was shaking and there was a load of this black stuff all over everything. Apparently the roof tile were starting to come off, which is not a good sign.

My eldest neice was planning to attempt to drive down from London with her 2 year old kid. Hope she has seen sense and postponed.

@nessisonett Good result for GB in the curling! I haven’t managed to watch much but saw some of the final games and was amazed at how tactical it all got.

@JohnnyShoulder Did your niece stay safe in the storm the other day?

I've got small quantities of similar-sounding black stuff all over my kitchen counters, which tells me that my windows aren't exactly airtight. I cleaned them up, but am wishing I hadn't bothered, because today's bad weather feels like a repeat performance!

@RogerRoger She postponed till next weekend, thankfully.

We got the black stuff a few years back, but whatever they done obviously wasn't strong enough for these latest advers weather conditions.

I always find them in a duvet cover or pillow case. Some time later mind, so I've usually thrown the other sock away, and I'm back to square one, left with a random solo sock.

@JohnnyShoulder Glad everybody stayed safe in the end.

I was halfway up a mountain once when I found a rogue sock hiding in the pocket of my fleece. Like you, I'd thrown away its lonely companion several months beforehand, so I left it atop a brightly-decorated cairn near the summit. I wonder if it's still there?

I had my first day back at the office yesterday, after about 3 months from working from home. I’m glad I missed the last week as I walk to work. I hope the worst is behind us! Nothing worse than a bad hairdo😂!
