“Not much of a storm if you ask me. At sea 59mph is a gentle breeze. Grow some balls you lilly livered landlubbers.”

“Well my goodness me, what a thoroughly miserable outlook. Never mind, I can stay in and do the ironing, which has been mounting up for a few days. My piles are certainly in need of attention. I might even make some banana bread to have with a big pot of tea.”
