Fairly breezy here in Wiltshire, but we're 70 miles inland.

Walked back from cinema earlier, chucking it down, only wearing a soft shell. Called in at the supermarket near home, jacket soaked through, water dripping off my nose, girl behind the till genuinely asked me if it was raining

I don't think we've got enough wood in the house to last the night and the store is at the top of the garden - eek!

I think our roof might be off tonight!

Had to stop on the lane earlier to move some large branches and feeling slightly nervous as we live on the edge of a pine forest that starts about 5m from the living room window!

Hope it isn't too breezy tomorrow morning here in East Yorkshire. I want to explore how dire the riding is.

Proper grim in Devon...blatantly procrastinating on the decision to get the Turbo out in the kitchen or go for a run round the quay.

Neither are appealing but slightly more appealing than working :-/

Might just put a couple more logs on the fire just in case.

Rain is properly lashing against my 13th floor window here in London. It's making me feel cold, I've turned up the heating in the room 🙂

Some of our more boring trees have blown over in the recent gales, as long as we continue having winds that only affect boring trees I'm happy.

Just recorded 60+mph winds here for the last 3hrs - dropped now but it won't be for long once the tide changes....
Gotta love being 1/2mile from the Solent....

Came back late on the train after Christmas meal, rang to get the wife to pick me up from next station along as tree down near my station; she collected me OK but then told me not to let this happen again, I should check the weather to see if it's likely a tree might get blown down apparently.
