Hihi, the sheep may look 100% like my sheep (come on, now you're looking for loving compliments...), but they are also 100% my sheep! Shearing, washing, combing, spinning, crocheting - hey, even the stuffing is leftover wool!

Yes, the storm is a bit scary. We're not right by the sea, but it still brings far too much water with it. The rain "falls" horizontally. The animals are safe, I'm in the warm and won't check on the damage until tomorrow. We don't have any tall trees right next to the property. The first people have already been fatally struck by trees this evening. Yes. It's very heavy at the moment.

In English, "unnecessary" just sounds a bit unnecessary. It was a little play on language - I just can't help myself... ;-)
