Morning All 
I was going to have a nice lie-in, but the phone rang.
Have a good day.

Well, fitted parasol together and it seems stable, can pull it over and it returns back upright without any drama. We'll have to see how it goes
Another still morning with cloud and not very warm, looks like summer may be over for this year
Sun's just come out, that's better

I think weight is important, as you do, but also width as the weight then has more leverage as it were.
If for arguments sake the base was 6 feet wide then almost nothing would be able to blow it over.
But I am no phycicist!!

........Eh
Dint know you were trying to get un da duff
We've missed you, mate!!!
It's 30cm or a foot across so should be fine, it wont be opened up in strong winds and the base is far far heavier than the top. My table never blows over even in a galeI think weight is important, as you do, but also width as the weight then has more leverage as it were.

Well it has been raining, thunderin and often lightnin all night.
You'd a laughed.
It all started at about 10 o'clock last night.
I went out to lock up the hen shed to find the little beggars out. Normally they put themselves to bed once it gets dark.
but there they were running around in the rain, thunder and lightning.
I was in cut-off jean shorts and shoes. It started to be annoying as I'd managed to catch three of them but then I was chasing the fourth one round and round the shed getting wetter and wetter myself.
So I said "Blow this for a lark" or words to that effect. Went back indoors, turned their light off and got a jacket.
Then I crept round to their place with a torch. Finally managed to corner the little madam and chuck her back in.
Well W thought it was funny!
So stopped now, temporarily. supposed to start up again soon but then the taps will turn off in plenty of time for us to go down to Pont de l'Arn to watch/listen to some jazz.
Did I tell you neither of us is positive.
Up yours Covid!
Have a nice day!!!

... Its funny how silly behaviours can backfire.
The baggage who tried the emotional blackmail of "I'm going to end it all" is now all angry and complains that my son is trying to take the kids away from her.
Why? Because she made the threat and then was not responding to any contacts from him; so like a caring person who doesn't want her to come to harm (or for their kids to suffer) he called 111 and asked for advice.
Upshot is that the advice was to alert the Police and in the end the Police found the baggage in a bit of a state wandering the streets in the middle of the night/early-hours of the morning.
They took her home. Then an ambulance rolled up at her door 9AM to check that she was still ok.
She sees this as an attempt by him to discredit her, he asserts that she made threats to end her life and he was duty bound to try and prevent that from happening.
As someone who's Mum topped herself when he was just 6 I am fully in agreement with my lad's position. Suicide is a tragic waste of life and leaves far too many scars on family members and should be discouraged as best it can be.
However, there is now a record of her erratic & odd behaviour out there in officialdom.
I am hopeful that things will settle down.
