Morning Belle. <3 :-D

Checked ours are OK but next door has something blown and lodged underneath his car. :-0

Dtr says there was more turbulence on her flight than she’s experienced for a long time. :-0

You’ll be keeping a tight grip on Ralphie, I expect. :-0 <3

Morning Joy <3 :-D

Ralphie and I were out walking the streets before 6am this morning when the winds were supposedly lighter :-0. The problem is that taking him out that early he forgets his been walkies and keeps looking at me now as if to say when are we going out :-S

I don't think it's now going to be as gusty for as long as they originally thought, thank goodness as I'm getting feed up with this weather now :-| :-D :-D

I don't like flying at the best of times :-0

Morning everyone <3 <3 <3 :-D :-D

The sun is out here and it's very windy but not so bad as it has been so I have been able to hang my washing out. Just have to keep an eye out in case the rain decides to come.

Belle - what's this "before 6am"? I didn't even know there was a 6am :-0

Still in the land of nod at that time :-D

Morning Kath and Fly. <3 :-D

Belle, only Dtr and grandson have gone. Her OH is at work.

I was having brekkies at 6 am but I am an early riser as well as late to bed, Kath.

Have you any sales planned, Fly?

Afternoon everyone :-)

Brilliant sunshine here, but the wind is still whistling and very strong.
We are still on a weather warning until early afternoon.

A recycling box has just bowled along the road.
No idea where that came from, as it's not Bin Day, so it's just been 'lifted' from somewhere :-S

Power cut this morning for a while. :-( :-(

Back on now. I can’t complain as some places locally have been without power since Friday :-0 :-0 :-0.
Wonder what our leader will pronounce today. :-| :-| :-|

The wind got behind me in Tesco car park could have done with some brakes on the trolley.....I was a runaway Belle :-0 :-D :-D

Kath, I'm always up a the crack o' sparrows, can't kick the habit from my working days :-0 :-D

You snuck in, Von.....afternoon btw <3 :-D

I saw that some in your neck of the woods had lost power on Friday together with some in Essex and Kent :-0. It's when you haven't got power you realise how reliant we all are on electricity :-0

Why is it that Driving instructors tell their pupils to park across someone's drive :-S :-| ;-) :-D

No power losses for us...so far, but I did wonder yesterday evening, when the lights kept flickering.... Wound up my torch, in case.

A long powercut just a mile or so from here. No gas available there, so a tough few hours for them

Update on flag, Belle. Not much left now !
No vertical red stripe left at all, that's gone in these last couple of days.
Next to flagpole, the bottom white rectangle has half gone now and the wind is 'gnawing' into corner of the top section
............and it's still blowing furiously :-0
