I miss Wales because we didn't go there when I was in Britain... oh, a long time ago. Going on forty years. England and Scotland we toured, and they were marvelous, especially since I was part of a touring choir and we got to perform in some magnificent places. If only we'd been there a bit longer... *sigh*

You can always stay longer in Britain. I don't think that anybody could stay long enough to see every grand thing there.

I will now assign tornadoes and their attendant thunderstorms. I just came up from the basement, where my husband is still vacuuming up rainwater, to try to get hold of my sister, who lives about two miles away. She lost power while we were talking (yes, I know you should get off the phone when it's storming, but she called first, and didn't know that there was a tornado heading her way). A tree came down in her backyard and hit her building, and she thought it was just strong wind. She's okay, thank God, but she still has no power, and I suspect it'll be a while before she gets it back. Lots of damage all over the place. I hope nobody was hurt -- and thank heavens for old fashioned land line phones that care naught for power failures and damage to cell towers.

Tornadoes certainly go to Mordor, along with people who know how to use correct or at least passable spelling/grammar but don't bother to do so. It causes me almost physical pain to see mistakes like its/it's, your/you're, no capitalization or punctuation in something posted online - you get the idea.

I also wish to send floods to Mordor and the resulting train delays. Last week, my train was six hours late - which meant six more hours to spend in that train to the already thirteen I had to spend anyway. I'm also sending the conductor who was conveniently absent when we were all demanding an explanation. I still have no idea what exactly happened that made us so late.
