Stormy Weather

[Serial_Apologist]

Hang on! The weather is horrible, BUT as I said, it's never dull and always 'dramatic'.
I didn't say I wanted to live anywhere else. And a Bloomsbury bedsit would be pretty near the bottom of my list!!

Wild wet and windy! Local superstore, absolute bedlam!

....it may be that with vint's excellent wine cellar : fings ain't never dull and is always dramatic [several sics]....(especially with his access to his new French butter dooda)....

Another wild, wet and windy day!

[DracoM]

Absolutely agree - poor NW being royally battered, and rodding it down with thickest rain as well.

[mangerton]

Indeed. I got soaked between the car park and the office this morning - and it's not far. The rain has now stopped, but it's very windy.

Incredible wind hurling clouds across the big sky here in rural Cambridgeshire

....It's dreadful weather

- WHy don't just look at yourself and just stop whining you pathetic whelp, and I'll do what I like.

....terribly disagreeable weather....

[vinteuil]

... the kind of weather which makes one grateful that humanity did in the end decide to settle and build houses - even if Messrs Tarleton and Harari (of the 'British Liberalism' thread) might have other views...

It's atrocious here too - drizzle turned heavier, the cloud base is now so low the hills have disappeared and an umbrella is no good as it's blowing a hooley. Yesterday morning was the same yet the afternoon clearing to absolutely clear blue skies and sun and the decidedly lower temps shot up, quite warm again today. There will a Christmas full moon - the first one for 34 years. What cosmic significance this foretells I have no idea.

Shops not particularly busy, I went into Waitrose to look at the new variety of potato (Inca Bella) which has been bred as a super quick roaster. It had a warning to keep an eye on them as they crisp within 25 minutes - I took that to mean if you're not careful you'll have cinders so I didn't buy any!

Maybe it's high time we got together for them and opened a branch.

(OK, I'll get my bearskin)

[BBMmk2]

Hope everything ok Anna!

We have sun!! Hooray! Hooray!

[Pulcinella]

Sun here too, at last.
Solar panels finally registering some output worth having: 730 W as I type, and that might improve as we reach high noon and more sun hits the panels (oriented west of south).
Only 505 Wh yesterday; already 672 Wh today.

Lovely day but provoking white finger syndrome quite quickly....

I'm all for Stormy Weather 2 for the new year....or can a host hack off the first 15,000 post and store them elsewhere....taking soooooo loooooong to load.....

Ouch - that can be painful. You need to ask Santa for a pair of fur lined mittens.
Lots colder here too, struggled to get up to 10.5° after a very chill start and it was such a wild, wet and windy night it woke me up beating against the window. But, hooray!, we've had more or less non-stop sun and blue skies here, a welcome respite before more rain.

I think this thread should be shortened rather than started anew because it's useful sometimes to look back. Is Host Cali qualified to fiddle about backstage and push a few buttons or does Frenchie have to do it?
