Oh brilliant.  My friend the Major was in signals.  Did you ever do duty in Germany?

OH is a radioaficionado who got his licence in the UK once they dropped the Morse requirement.  He was an officer in infantry in SA so had guys to do his comms for him.  His Morse is about as good as his Spanish.  Don't tell him I said that.

Unfortunately no Myrtle, Lark Hill on Salisbury Plain was as far east as I ever got. I was a B2 driver opp. A forward observation post operator. I was basically an officers personal assistant. I still have my MOD VP (voice procedure) book. The radios I worked on were WWII and just post WWII.  One had to manually tune them in! Way to get off topic! My fault

Mine was S H I T 

Ah! my apologies Nova I missed the fourth 'dit' on the second letter and the gap between the third and the fourth! As I say my Morse was bloody awful! That why I never made 'B1'

We just had a very heavy shower 4.30 am , about 5 minutes only but it really poured with buckets , not raindrops . Just put my head out window a second to move a plant and got really drouwned .

The same here, but it was ice! Hail stones the size of peas.

It sounded like hail here - I pulled the persianas down to protect the windows from being broken!  And lightning strike after lightning strike!  I've never seen lightning as frequent as that but I couldn't hear the thunder until the ice stopped banging at the windows.  4.17am it woke me up.

[Perikles]

Woken up at around 4.30 too, but it was just rain, no hail, I think. That's odd because we are much higher up than you lot.

Drifts of ice and shredded trees this morning.
