WHATS YOUR WEATHER LIKE 2020

Good morning dry and bright but cold

 

Very frosty but the sun is coming up and the wind has dropped - for now. Very high winds forecast for Saturday and Sunday.

 

They are not to be as bad as they were last weekend, so hopefully you won't end up with any of your massive trees trying to escape your garden this time round. Silly question, but have you got a battery radio in case the power goes out again?

 

Yes, it's in the kitchen and plugged in all the time. I listen to it a lot. When our power went I thought "I'll listen to the radio" - nada!!! I'll need to check out the batteries. Can't think what might be wrong as they're only 15 years old

 

Ah, that might be it - we generally always keep a wee stock of batteries in. Back when we lived in the countryside, it was also calor gas heaters on standby too (paraffin before that, but they went out of fashion because of the smell, which I just happen to quite like )

 

Good afternoon all fine here in the Garden of England

 

Small bout of wind and heavy rain due here overnight, almost as a bit of a taster as to what is to come at the weekend - don't you just love this time of year?

 

We do have batteries in stock but I didn't bother to check if they're the right ones . We have a gas cooker in the kitchen so we can keep that room warm. We also used to have a gas light on the wall but Mrs Shiney wanted it taken away when we refitted the kitchen.
