Gales!

Recommended Posts

I haven't let any of the girls (or boy) out the runs today - a bit of tailwind and they'd probably be a few doors down!

 

I always worry about the lorry drivers when it's like this - the stretch of M74 near me is very exposed, and there's usually a few casualties :(

I think it was around this time last year when we had terrible gales, I narrowly missed getting hit by a piece of the petrol station forecourt (where I was filling up) which tore away and went clattering down the road.

 

The power of the weather can be terribly frightening and though we're used to bad weather in this country, we don't tend to have extremes of it like they do elsewhere in the world but the incidences of extreme weather we do have seem to be on the increase don't they :?

It's really wild here too - I've not let the girls out or taken the dog for a walk :( . I was planning on tidying up the garden and the run for my Hen Party tomorrow - I'm hoping it'll be better in the morning (but I'll be out at YS's rugby so won't have much time :? ).

 

Never mind, a lemon drizzle cake has been made so hopefully that'll distract them from my grotty garden :roll: .

but i've just spent the last hour cleaning feeders and eglu in torrential freezing rain and very strong winds. :shock:.........girlies all tucked up nice and warm and dry with fresh food, clean eglu and some pasta for their supper :D :D and I'm enjoying a nice hot cuppa :D:D

It didn't hit me how strong the winds were today until I was making a few deliveries in the van this afternoon and I had to slow down to 50mph on a dual carriageway - the van was being blown across the lanes - it's only a Vauxhall Movano too, not a long Sprinter :shock:

 

Still, back home for a few minutes then it's off to join Joe in the caravan in Moreton In Marsh :D

I think I'm sharing the same weather with you Pam. It was lovely here this morning, I even got my washing on the line and dried, but it started turning a bit colder and drizzly at around 3pm, and it's colder since. The winds only started picking up about an hour ago, but it really doesn't sound very good out there. That said son's out in it football training and darling daughter's gone out for a walk with a friend who's all depressed because he's split up with his girlfriend and he wants a shoulder to cry on. I don't mind Immi providing the shoulder, but I can't understand why they can't go into a nice warm house rather than wander the streets :?:roll::roll::roll:

I'm staying in, wrapped up warm.........nothing would induce me out into that :shock::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Well, I couldn't stand the state of the garden & run any longer so braved the gales and managed to tidy up a bit. With ES's help (bless him :) ) we dug the run over, and put new hemcore down (most of which is now in the flowerbeds :evil: ). The grass is disgusting, the flowerbeds are revolting, and I'm totally embarrassed at the state of the whole garden :( . (Not the girls' fault - it was like that before they arrived :oops: .)

 

And I've now got a potential 5th customer :roll: .

I'm so glad I thought to bring my washing in this morning (dried yesterday, but I was out last night) ! Now I'm just worried about our fence - one of the posts has rotted at the base and it's only being held up by the climbing rose! :shock: If it blows over, I won't be able to let the girls out to free-range until it's fixed :(

 

The DH was supposed to be booking a handyman to come and mend it - he (the DH) works from home, so in theory it's much easier for him to sort it out, but... :roll:

Hideous here....and soooo cold again.:(

 

I have not felt so cold for years.

The central heating has broken down and the wind is whistling through our 1920's house. The coal fire only just about warming the living room. Original features such as open fire places {wehave 4. including 2 in the bedrooms) look lovely but act like wind tunnels. The shower curtain in the bathroom is flapping like mad,and the loo seat is freezing.

Roll on spring !

It been extremely windy, cold and wet here for days and days (well it seems like it). We had snow at lunchtime.

 

I could hear the sea crashing on the beach earlier when I was in the garden trying to get Archie pup back from the neighbours (another fence panel down :evil: )

 

Winter has gone on too long now. I want Spring :!:
