It'd not been too bad around here.. until last night. It's been absolutely howling all night. I woke up 3 and didn't properly get back to sleep after that. Not looking forward to the drive in :/

Same here Kate - was proper blowing a gale and absolutely bucketing it down! I was just waiting for something to smash or take a tumble... but all seems well in the street of the Pheckers....

It was bad getting into work today. Runcorn bride open / closed / open / closed have a feeling it might be difficult getting home tonight unless the winds calm down a bit

Chap who owns the V6 Alfa Gt in our building isn't going to be happy when he goes to his car this morning.

We've got lead flashing underneath our windows - building is old and manky so it's not secured that well. Each sheet is about 1/4" thick, 4 meters long and about 50cm high.

One appears to have crumpled up and falled off the top floor of the building *4 stories up*. Straight through his sunroof. Impact made a nice dent in the roof as well.

I need to move my car...

Really windy here this morning, no rain though and it's lovely and sunny.

Its a bit windy here, nothing to write home over though. Not as bad as last year, annoyingly.

More than a bit windy here I about got blown over whilst walking the Frank staffy dog. I even got attacked by a Couple of Black bins ffs

Came steaming down the road at me No messing & Charged me & Frank. I had to stick the boot in with the first one & the second got grabbed by the throat & slung onto a garden

Plotted up at home now waiting for something to get ripped off & fly about smashing the place up.

I'm supposed to be flying to Milan tomorrow, hope the weather calms down before then otherwise flying will be fun, if we can take off of course.

I was cycling backwards this morning

Update on the Alfa GT.... It's pretty much wrecked..
The lead going throught the sunroof didn't slow it down much and it's trashed the interior and also looked to have bent the floor. Thats going to be pricy to fix.

Bloody glad it's not mine!
