I think he's still making sand bags with all the sand he had delivered - hopefully they have done the job !

Last I heard on here, his power went during the storm and they can't repair till the area is not flooded. He didn't say weather he himself was flooded or not.

more of a dig at their incompetence which makes them not fit for purpose

with some sarcasm thrown in

If low sunspot activity encourages blocking, does high sunspot activity strengthen the jet stream?

Not that bad here really, very noisy but the christmas and st jude ones were worse. Lost more fence panels though. and during the day it was still gusting strong enough to push wheelie bins already lying down across the road during showers.

Morning all, hope everyone's fit and well and ready for the week. Not a breath of wind out this morning and dry, didn't see any frost. The 'ole saga has taken a serious turn for the worse yesterday on looking into it (BJ just for you) I felt movement (not my bowels) underfoot, the little bit of path left for me to get out of my gate have started to collapse into the aforementioned 'ole. I don't mind admitting it I panicked and ran indoors doing a good impression of a screaming banshee, the wife looked at me in total disbelief, and decided to inspect for herself, I like any dutiful husband warned about her excess weight being put on the collapsing pavement, she hit me, ok you'll right I should have been a bit more subtle and I should have ducked. She roped up (it is a very deep hole, although I don't think its a plug :-) hole as we are at the top of the hill) and looked like Sherpa tamsin (spl?), thought the googles and lambs wool hat was a bit OTT, but hey she was happy and to be fair it was an improvement on her normal attire.

She ventured out and with me hanging onto the rope for dear life, she stood an the pavement, which immediately started the very short journey to the centre of the earth, did she panic of course she a woman, she jumped up and down and screamed blue murder, I suggested she got off the offending pavement prior to her and me falling into the 'ole, as her considerable weight was pulling me with her. Luckily she did as told and jumped backwards into our garden (at least where she landed dosen't need the heavy roller on it) and hit me again as apparently she a bit sensitive about her weight since Christmas. When I pointed out we are now marooned in our house, with only a weeks supply of food and we would have to stay put and perhaps even talk to each other, well she panic even more, and at the top of her voice, told me that she hated me and would rather take the chance with the 'ole than stay a week with me, at which stage with all the neighbours leaning out off their windows laughing, she decided to hurdle the front wall, this would have worked and to be fair to the old girl, it was a good idea, but I think she should have really have taken the roped off first, because I imagine it was painful sitting astride the brick wall. I got the blame for that, and the state of me this morning, reminds me off the great cockney song, 2 lovely black eyes.

Well have a great day.

[Charltonkerry]

For those who like snow and football below hopefully is a link to an article in the daily mail, hopefully this will work, it's called snow joke and features football in the snow over the generations, hope you enjoy as much as I did. My favourite was the Eddie Firmani photo, I can remember sitting on top of the east terrace admiring his skills as a six? year old, what a player and just shows how far we have fallen over the years.

Oh my Kerry I am crying with laughter at your post. 

 

It's a cool 5.8c here with milky, cloudy skies.  I'm missing the sun already.

 

Happy birthday today to Winter 63, Leigh D and of course our very entertaining Captain Shortwave.  Hope you all have a great day!

 

Today I'm sorting eldest's wardrobe as nothing fits. There will be moths coming out of the back of her wardrobe where no man dares to roam, but I think the moths in my hubby's wallet will be in more abundance.

[Keraunic]

Mornin each. It was quite frosty here first thing with a bit of mist over by the river. It was quite wintery looking and more in keeping with December/January. It is too little too late IMO. I would have preferred that kind of weather earlier ta very much.

Is it going to rain today? I have two flat viewings (groan) and do NOT want a repeat of Friday's fiasco.

Have a good day, folks.

[Snowangel-MK]

After such a beautiful day yesterday with plenty rays of sunshine to enjoy today seems like a step back into the gloom and doom, a dry spell would be nice but it would seem there is more rain to come….and then a Viking apocalypse !

Morning all, lovely start to the day here, hope it will last for once
