... gone but never forgotten 
Had some pretty hard winds and heavy sleet too, all seems calm now though and has moved on.
I have been trying all sorts. Coffee grounds, a cat repellant from Ace hardware. Heard lemon and orange juice also does the trick. Trouble is during the rainy season it just washes away and they start again.
Thinking of some motion activated sprinklers or electrifying the lawn if the more friendly options don’t work.
Get yourself some Jeyes fluid. Mix up a diluted solution and pour over everything including the plants, grass etc. as it’s safe to do so, using a watering can. Other than the smell it doesn’t harm the animals.
Our electric must have been off overnight.
Fridge freezer and cooker hood not working this morning.
Still dark outside and wet and windy as.
Expecting some class postings on “WTF you having for dinner thread" shortly.

A delectable smorgasbord of thawed breaded meat items smothered in beans and gravy.
Our power came back on around 10:30pm last night. Then I had a helpful courtesy knock on the door at 1:30am from Western power to ask if it was back on …
It’s the thought that counts!
Thought it was going to be a neighbour telling me somebody’s chimney stack had crushed my car
Fookin hell this is a beauty of a storm, the wind gusts feel extreme just listening to them. No chance I’m going out of the door. Forecast to continue here until about 8pm. No power cuts yet so that’s a bonus, but there’s plenty of time left yet. Fire will be lit and that’s me for the day, a few bets on the togger and I’m done lol.
I asked the leccy board down your end to give you a knock when it was coming back on, with you being vulnerable and that, did they turn up?I told you there was a storm heading your way
