Stormy Weather

[salymap]

It's been pouring for hours and have to negotiate five rubbish bins down the sideway and leave by the gate.
What a wimp I've become - don't want to go out in it.

Forget the nuts S-A - you are nutty enough [ In a nice way of course.]

Sleet.

Yuck! Grey weather both sides of the Atlantic. Yet another cloudy, chilly day here in RI. Anna's suggestion of soup sounds just the thing for lunch. There's still some home-made chicken-rice soup in the fridge. That and some bread will make a good lunch for a chilly day. saly, I did enjoy the Aida, though used the Margaret/Ira show to go fold the laundry. Our local classical music station, though commercial and with top-ten type programming, does boadcast the Met live without commercial breaks. BBM, thanks for good wishes. We rarely get tornadoes in my neck of the woods. My high school friend, down in Huntsville, Alabama, came through without damage to life, limb, property.

saly, I hope your weather improves and I do worry about you having to take all those bins out in the rain. Be careful!

I have just ventured into my garden. That 19 mph North-East wind would seem to be the key element in the current brass monkey conditions which I briefly encountered there.

Brrr...gurnemanz. That's sipping-hot-toddy-by-the-fire weather!

Thanks for your thoughts re the bins marthe. It's raining hard and blowing a gale here so only put two bins out - the household one that is only collected fortnightly and one other. I heard a crash and the big bin has blown overand contents are all over theplace and probably sailing up the road. I phoned gardener/neighbour and he will see to itlater.

Sorry, deeply boring, but when you get to my age it is better not to venture out in the dark. A Home begins to sound quite cosy and welcoming

Windy here this morning, but it's bright and not too cold. Bulbs in the Parks are splendid.

My narcissi in my front garden have already been flattened by this awful wind.

Where's S-A to tell us when it's going to get calmer and warmer here?

Oh all right then!

First it's going to get calmer, then on Thursday it's going to get a bit warmer.

One of those "I don't belIEEEEEEEEEEEVE it" sunsets here earlier on.

My £29.99 "greenhouse" crashed down. I had no idea. Thought initially it was a fox that had fallen off the fence. Soon decided though it was a gunman so stayed awake for an hour in case I saw torchlight.

I'm 50 in December. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned this.

Bright and sunny but brisk today. The clocks go ahead here this coming weekend. Longer days are right around the corner.

Very windy and wet here - must get better draught sealing on some of the windows. Seems we need weeks of rain here in Suffolk to avoid a drought this Summer.

I haven't heard as much noise in the night from bins and dustbin lids etc blowing around since the two bad events years ago. The 'hurricane' and the other one a year apart. Then it was big trees being blown along the road, a sight never to be forgotten.
