    Blue sky and sunshine, but the plastic cover of my cheapy cold frame just caught my eye as it flew past the window. Luckily it stayed within the garden and I've now got it stashed away indoors.

      Blue, blue sky, hardly a breeze, just shy of 16c.

        Wild and windy here after a rather dramatic day yesterday, I took the wife on a date night in the back of ambulance down to the local hospital with suspected sepsis, tests however showed it was a nasty virus, so after around 7 hours I was punted out again after a drip and some anti vomiting medicine was administered as I was constantly vomiting. On the bright side I avoided the NHS food.

          It is -2f -19c and cloudy for now. Not all that welcoming out there but this cold will hold the snow for a white Christmas :)

                Well done for being vigilant. It's particularly hard at the moment when there's so much nasty illness around, I expect a lot of cases of actual sepsis will be mistaken for flu.

                  A better day than of late. A bit of sun and blue skies, 7c but OK wrapped up.

                    Much brighter today, lovely behind the glass indoors or even in the greenhouse. Very cold gusty wind outside but I agree, fine if suitably dressed.

                      It’s cold but hardly wind. BBC says 47 mph wind and 7c currently.
                      Reality is that there is no sign of gusty winds.

                      Day started with 3c and sunny interrupted by clouds now and then.
                      All in a typical winter day.

                        We’ve had sun, rain, a rainbow, dark skies and gusts of wind. The rain is really cold, almost sleety.

                          A bit of wind here but nothing like it was a couple of weeks ago which lasted for three days.
                          Cant understand why planes have been cancelled at Heathrow due to the winds.:dunno:

                          Its 6c and suddenly come over really cloudy.
                          Radar shows some rain moving down from the NW.

                            Part of my neighbour's greenhouse roof (polycarbonate panels) blew off during Storm Darragh. Her son came out to fix it a few days ago. I've just noticed it's gone again! - in fact it looks like she's lost more of it this time.

                              I was just watching some CCTV and a bucket that got blown into road was making drivers stop!!! and they would wait for a gust of wind to move said bucket they waited 5 minutes! now why wait for windy when you could get out of your vehicle and move said bucket :dunno:
