We've already got a leaky roof. This is not going to end well...
+1 :/
Carnage here in Herts. One of the neighbours' recycling bins blew into the road!
Actually it is hammering it down sideways, but not exactly gale force 10.
O/T Bregante - the email in your profile is bouncing (re the bike for sale).
I rode in - fellow soggy-panter.
The wind gets channelled through the streets between the high buildings in the City and packs quite a punch. I set off from some lights this morning into a sudden headwind and literally didn't move the wind was that strong.
hoping for a tailwind home...
Boss just gave me grief for working from home...seriously, wft???
With all the extra last minute shiat we deal with, seems being flexible is a one way street.
Might have to reassess doing on call at the weekends.
Yeah, the weather is becoming increasingly unstable.
Now that we can't predict it I wonder what comes next, on the bright side I've got 15 mins before I go back to working.
So I'm off to watch people getting blown down the street, who's with me 😯

Brakes, it'll be a London Headwind*, and you know it!
*So called because it miraculously changes direction during the course of the working day to ensure a headwind on both legs of the commute! 🙂
Abandoned ride and went for a run in the woods this morning. Wet but fun until I climbed hill summit and left trees to be hit by the full force of the gale. Even my dogs hated that!! Conscious of lots of creaking branches in the woods as I ran past...but lucky to miss all the debris on the ground.

you're probably right, the sun is shining now, which will no doubt bring some sort of pressure change and make the wind blow the other way
So we now half blue and half black sky and it's hailing like ****!
I'm sitting in the middle of the Norwegian North sea right now & things are getting, er....interesting 😯
Just nipped out to get some petrol there. On my less than two mile journey I saw the following
* Tree blown down and through wall just at our car park entrance
* Traffic light posts with the traffic light bits missing (they were in the middle of the road earlier on)
* Another tree blown down and through a wall and across the main road
* A black bin (those stone ones that sit on the pavement) sitting on the inside lane of the road.
* High mast arial on roof of taxi company bent in two.
Got to petrol station and was shut because one of the pumps had blower over - the highlight wtf of the journey. Next petrol station 2 mins along the road was fine though.
Never mind, it'll be snowing shortly in Glasgow.
