We tend to leave the cellars as they are and I think Darrington sends a minion or ten to see to the recycling and ensure treasures things we forgot get brung back to us Brendan has landed and he is a very boisterous boy We have flood warnings along the coast luckily for us we are about 4 miles from the coast so we get the breezes and precipitation but not the flood problems Been to quack - got my arthur-itis gel prescription doubled and extra nebules for me asthma ---

When I was living in east London, I knew I’d be flooded if the Thames Barrier let go, but so would all the terribly expensive buildings in Docklands so I’d be happy. (Actually it’s more a surface-water risk there, because the local council is Newham and therefore doesn’t care about drainage.) ---

We have rather extravagant bogs that are carbon sinks and water storage devices You know step in the wrong place and get yer wellies sucked off That is no fun So we have saturated ground with heavy rain It makes me glad we live in a hovel atop a hill on a rock in the bog when storms hit It’s the machairs that are at risk - flat areas by the sea that are incredibly fertile and only found in W Ireland and the Western isles ---

Limpet-Inspired House mk 1: with a large pit under it, hydraulic rams to pull it down so that only the gently-sloping roof is above ground level, and a spring so that it can get up again even if the power is off. Limpet-Inspired House mk 2: with sloping armour plates which one attaches to the ground at one end and to the edge of the roof at the other, the whole lot forming a smooth curve. This also lets you save the bits of garden closest to the house. ---

My reason for asking for that link to be removed was that when I clicked on it, the machine froze and a window opened informing me that “a website” was the reason the machine was “slow”; then when I clicked on “do you want to stop this process? Yes” it refused to be stopped from sitting there doing nothing, and refused to be closed. After about eight minutes both the link and the Reporter closed. Since this and an internal link to the synopses were the only websites open at the time, I drew a fairly obvious conclusion as to what website might have caused the problem. Perhaps this machine is so small it cannot open a whole three websites at a time, but that has never happened to it before, so I tended to assume it might perhaps be to do with the website. Silly me. (I have four websites open as I type…) ---

It is a moderately complex site, and it’s probably time Feral put some more memory in that machine, assuming it was built with room for it. ---

> [@HedgeSparrow](#): > > It is a moderately complex site Yep - the animation + RT updates could be a challenge. Fine here–but then my “max 8GB” laptop has 16 installed… (I suspect the rather conservative official specs were intended to tempt people to look at ostensibly more powerful–and _definitely_ more expensive–machines) ---
