It was particularly frightening during a stay by the North sea. Our house there is on a man-made hill thing (all houses in that area are, as the area is prone to be flooded - the sea, ya know - and so the houses are kinda "elevated"), right in the middle of a flat, pancake-ish island. One night I woke up, thinking "My husband's gone mad, fiddling with the light switch at 3 am" until I was wide awake, only to realize that izt was by no means my husband but an enormous storm front approaching. Luckily, it either passed by or changed direction at some point..I daren't imagine what could have happened otherwise...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-123744060526795443.post-82586170402199886752007-10-02T09:32:00.000+01:002007-10-02T09:32:00.000+01:00My best friend's mum used to run around the house ...My best friend's mum used to run around the house like a lunatic unplugging everything, including the phone - because the lightning apparently comes down the phone line and zaps you in the ear, and then you are dead. So you are right to be afraid....be VERY afraid!<BR/><BR/>Super clever computer building t'other half tho - round of applause and BIG pats on back there!!!!

MM, was that actually a "Six Million Dollar Man" ("We can re-build him - we have the technology") reference? I think one of the US networks just launched an updated version of "The Bionic Woman" over here this fall. Just goes to show that there's nothing new on tv.<BR/><BR/>I love electric kettles. You could hardly find them in the US in the 90s, but they're gaining in popularity nowadays. The two comforts of civilization (or even civilisation) that I adopted upon returning stateside were the electric kettle and the 13tog duvet. Mmm.Melissa J.
