Anyone enjoy that racket last night?

Mortar has thrown itself off the front of the house, from under the slates. Thankfully the car wasn't there. So far the roofer has been up there three or four times since the beginning of December, replacing missing roof parts, so he'll be off up there again at some point.

The bus is still snug hidden behind the bushes, its cover has survived being blown off this time, oddly enough!

Next doors wheelie bin lid has been banging all night, and today, disturbing wee mans sleep, poor mites scared
My front door has finally given up, and its letting in more water than the Titanic, thankfully a new one is on order, and I'm just waiting for it to be fitted.


The funniest thing is, there is new housing by the council being built behind my house. They have two giant metal signs on poles waggling around like flags, precariously over one of the neighbours garages. I don't like him, since he blamed my bikes for scratches down his car(funny he parks right up against privet hedges), and hes only just rebuilt it......I've been wishing them to come crashing down into it for some time, but they are hanging on by a thread!

We were at a petrol station earlier. I was putting fuel in, a lady at the pump next to me had just finished.

Suddenly, a huge crash and bang and a six foot piece of metal crashed off the petrol station roof and smashed into the car next to mine!

Her back bumper was badly scratched but what made us shiver was the fact that if she had been still filling the car, the metal would have hit the lady, doubtless with a nasty outcome!

It was dark when I went to work, and dark when I got home. So I won't know 'til tomorrow, but I'm expecting to see next door's fence across my garden (again).

I knew that moster curry and the tour of the Stella brewery was a bad idea

Well we've seen bits of hoardings and signs go flying past work, and I've put off going and checking a load of duct filters until it dies down on Friday.
I dare not look in the yard and see what come off and landed near the bike.

Did the wind change direction at some point?

There was a passing Saab squashed by a falling tree in Barnet.Occupant walked away.

It must have been a sticky situation for the police and emergency services to deal with.


Taxi's already on its way

Looking like it's going to be much the same tonight!! What a windy couple of days!

[Bluepete]

Not slept a wink, howling gales around the house. The greenhouse is shagged.

Mum and Dad are on South Uist where the wind really knows how to blow, so a bit worried about them too.

Tired and jumpy.
