I was awoken early the same morning by my phone. It was f riend asking if I was laright. i was annoyed and didn't know what she was on about. I thought it was aleg pull. Whilst listening to her, I opened up the curtains to find the outside world in choas. Where the fuck are all the trees? And this in the middle of east london. buildings witrh roofs gone etc. I still can't believe I slept thru it all. have you noticed that now the weather reports always err on the side of 'terrible'? (for those that don't know. Michael Fish, the weather man on BBC said there definately was not a hurricane coming our way. Poor man has never forgotten that night.)
