I'll bet that it also snowed there for the second time in 30 years as well.
... and so on, for a while.

Yes, using weather to define climate is a mistake.

I never got to meet drunk sailors. I volunteered for submarine duty, but they only grinned and sent me to the flyboys instead, where I got to shoot missiles. After a visit on a submarine, I finally knew why. I would have had to walk like a monkey in there and the only way for me to get into the bunks would have been to amputate my legs at the knee. Similar problems when I climbed into a Leopard or into a Tornado.
As to your controls: They usually are naughty children and you must show some authority to bring them in line.

I wanted to be a pilot, combination of eye-sight and leg length meant it was not to be. Leopard is that a German comms aircraft? (it could also be a Chinese ground attack jet, but if you were climbing in a Tornado as well, I'm guessing you had other problems)

You really don't know what we traditionally name after big cats? Leopard II[^] We paid the army guys a visit. It's performance [^] is quite limited.
Submarines, tanks and jets are obviously built for dwarves. And then we had a sarge who was over 210 cm tall. Living proof that Bigfoot does exist. He pushed me aside with one hand and said "Step aside, dwarf."

Sorry saw Tornado and air defence got me to think Jet, the maddest thing I have seen is a guy around 2 m (6ft 7 to none metric) climbed out of a Hawk, if he left via the ejection seat at least his lower half would be in the jet! (I didn't or hadn't noticed you were German, cue 'Don't mention the war' Fawlty Towers / John Cleese  )

Tomorrow is Twelfth Night, and traditionally Christmas decorations should be removed before midnight.
And since Herself is off duty tomorrow I will take them down today. I told her it's so "it doesn't disturb her valuable day off" (which will involve remaining in pyjamas till noon, shouting at the TV, and snoring, probably) but it's really because we are different people.
I will take them down carefully, rolling strings of beads, card holders, sparkly stuff, lights, etc. around cardboard tubes before putting them in boxes.
She will pull them down as quickly as possible and throw them in a box.
My way, I get an easy life next December because I can just unroll stuff and up it goes. Her way, it will be one huge knot which will have acquired a life of it's own and actively resist unravelling.
So ... which type are you? "Plan ahead" or "Rush through"?
I think I can guess for some of you, but it would be interesting to see.

I thought the tradition is to take them down on the 6th?
As for tidying away Christmas tree lights and "strings" of tinsel - indeed, any cable/rope/string etc - it makes no difference how carefully it is wrapped and put away. There is Universal Law which states that: A rope (cable, etc) left to itself will tie itself in untangle-able knots. And that's a fact.

Nope, all you have to do is establish your dominance over the cable/rope/string etc., and it will remain as you put it provided it is undisturbed (by your SO, cat, whatever). Once a less dominant person touches it, it will revert to the "Big Ball 'o Knots" within nanoseconds.
My cables remain tidy, my strings in neat balls.
Cable ties can help here.
Strangely, Chrome's spelling suggester thinks that should be "my strings in meatballs."

I was bitten by a radioactive teddy bear back in my Cat-5 flood wiring days, that may have caused it.

Right with the basic principles, but waaay too short a tail to actually hitch the rope for storage. (And a gasket hitch is really only sensible when the end is fixed to something.)
