I'm just glad I decided to work from home today. The ride back from the office would have been into it pretty much the whole way back.

I'm glad I decided to take my caravan awning down for the winter this morning. I reckon it'd have taken itself down by now

No roofing this year wrightyson? As I remember last year, you had a load of framing arriving to coincide with a big storm. 😆

Yep, the New Forest is pretty much flooded anyway - this will add to the excitement...

45+mph all day and nearly that every bloody day this week - have lost 19 days in the last 30 so far because of weather.
All because a CA thought we could work at 120mts in Oct/Nov 😕

I drove in today. Rain I don't mind or cold but wind is a bit dangerous in heavy traffic I reckon.

Not risking getting blown in front of a bus on commute home. Train to near home then wife's bringing the car.

Just in from the commute. Did more manuals and bunnyhops avoiding fallen/broken/flooded bits than I would've on a weekend up t'woods.

Lovely with a bit of Metallica on, gnaaaaar.

I hope my old shed blows down, it'll save me having to dismantle it. Actually I hope it gets lifted over the fence first, since that's the biggest problem.
