Ah no, a cheeky Cocker who can't keep out of water (and not stictly mine)

Hello Coast, we have a cocker too

Hang on, that could sound like we have a cockatoo! Let me try again.....

We also have a cocker - orange and white, at least he is when not covered in mud (when he is mud coloured), or when the snow balls on him and he turns into a show poodle with fake tan splodges and very large ears (but enough of our friends in Essex)

Back to Brighton tomorrow until New Year, wife and daughter go shopping, eldest boy revises, youngest boy and I look after said cocker. In the rain. And the wind. Might try to sneak in Life of Pi at some point in the afternoon - the things some pet owners will do for their animals....

Good weekend all

[john pike]

heres a ramp chart

[Eskimo]

tomorrows wind

They're the 850 winds, confused me a little, thought it looks a little too extreme!

Actually 1knot is 1.1mph so it's more or less the same.

the fax charts last night were not showing this
