Was it a mini tornado?

The gales were so bad yesterday that there was a lot of trees blown down in the park. The father of a girl that I know was walking by the supermarket and their big sign fell down on top of him, lacerating the side of his head. He was in a bit of a state of shock and didn't realise that his legs has been cut to shreds as well. Apart from all the casualties, bits of roofs had blown off buildings and damaged cars. Gerald literally missed all the destruction by a couple of minutes, he walked down the road just after it had all occurred. Today everything is sunny and calm, not a breath of wind in the air.
Today we are going to try and go to Harrods if we have time. If you ever want bargain cosmetics or fragrance, it is the best place, only when the sales are on of course, last year we bought loads of fragrances because they were selling them for about £15.
We had some exciting emails today, Gerald has been pushing for us to play at some festivals in the summer and slowly people are coming back to us and expressing some interest. Nothing definite yet though, we are holding our thumbs...
