      Well, that would be the telly gone. Either our aerial has gone, or Billsdale transmitter has fallen over, again.

        My wheelie bins got emptied this morning. I'm not sure if it's going to help but I've put them on their sides and wedged them down the side of the house by the side gate. Hopefully they'll stay there. :fingers crossed:

          Take care you lot taking the brunt of it.

          We didn't get it too bad down here, apart from it blowing a freezing wind through the office, most people now wearing hats and coats indoors. It's calmed down now and the sun has come out.

            Still wild, wet and very windy here. There's a primary school at the end of the street - the little ones are in danger of being blown over and it will be very difficult for Mums to open the car doors to get them in... so glad we are at home now,

              Telly is back. Probably just a temporary wobble at the transmitter.

                      No, the calm bit is elsewhere. the wind is even blowing round my kitchen, rendering the central heating pretty ineffective. Dratted old houses!

                      Really odd day here - wild as hell from around 11am, blowing a hoolie when I picked the wee one up from the school at 3.15pm, with hammering rain and flood water everywhere, then on the way home a really heavy hail shower (felt so sorry for the wee ones coming out of the school and walking home in it) - - ten minutes in the door, and there is hazy sunshine and the wind has just gone. :dunno:
