What's Your Weather Like 2014 - Part 2

Hold tight Sheal looks like you're in the firing line first again

 

Hatches are battened Loli!

Luckily most of the gales tend to hit us from the south-west which hits my bungalow side on. My neighbours house gives us some protection but it's my greenhouse I have to worry about.

We used to get these high winds in January but in recent years they seem to have moved to October.

 

I blame sprouts for that!

Trending, Sheal: trending.
You see, in October, pumpkins are to blame and that is the result of Globalisation: we've inherited American customs and October is ripe for pumpkins: pumpkin seeds, pumpkin soup, pumpkin pie (yes, yes, I do remember you don't cook - but you Dubai! <---- gotta lurve spellchecker )

BTW: did you watch something called Len's Holidays on BBC1 today? Dave Myers featured (Hairy Bikers fame) and it was based on his childhood memories of a holiday at IoM. I think I saw you in a background shot (or three!) - but, as I don't know what you look like, I may have been mistaken

 

Well I for one haven't had any sprouts for a while!

I've never tasted pumpkin and certainly wouldn't have a clue how to cook it. I bake "M", it's preparing meals I can't stand. In fact recently I've discovered bread pudding, my mum used to make it when we were young from a war time recipe but unfortunately it's now locked away in her mind (Alzheimers) sadly. I found a recipe that is very close to the one she made and I'm hooked!

I haven't got a television but by coincidence I was at my daughter's this afternoon and my grandson came across it whilst flipping channels, so we sat and watched it. Nahhh, you wouldn't have seen me, I'm to ugly for camera, why d'you think I'm always behind the lens!
There was some dodgy camera work going on too, showing us places that weren't where they said they were......that really annoys me!

If you can bear to look, I think my mug shot's on page 17 of 'Faces to Names'.

 

Pressure just dropped to 1013mb, humidity has fallen down to 88% and the van's started rocking

Pill box is looking inviting

 

Oh Zigs! Are you going to be okay? You could do with some guy ropes.

 

Very blustery for us at the moment here in the Midlands and the rain is even getting battered so it is swirling round our lampost light as I stood on the doorstep watching it

Hopefully we shall all escape this hurricane tail end with not much damage to life or structural damage.

 

Very windy here, with a bit of drizzle to make it more enjoyable

 

A bit wild wet and windy but not severely so. One or two tree branches look a bit suspect out there but no pots over. Barometer = 75 .8 millibars ATM,

Bit rocky in the night, but seems to have blown thru now

 

very windy here!

 

Breezy but it's managed to blow the grey clouds away Blue sky and sunshine now
