my dog acts weird in the wind so Barbara has already crossed me this morning.
All settled down now though. ![]() Quote:

Why is there always a storm of some sort over the UK over Xmas? It always seems to happen around this time. You turn on the news and you're guaranteed to hear the phrase "and tonight XX,000 residents in the XXXXX area are still without power over the Christmas holidays."

"Come back November, I'm really missing you."
November just gone has just shown us that blocking north of the UK within just one month of the winter solstice is certainly not a thing of the past. |

Went down to local shopping estate today, has been wet and windy as predicted, temp not that cold though, about 8 or 9 degrees here. At one point when I was in ASDA the rain was absolutely drumming on the roof and it drowned out the Christmas music!
Still, much prefer this stormy weather to clear skies and frost any day. |

Still not too bad here, winds nowhere near gusting 40+ like they reckoned, and the rains stopped now.

She just goes a bit potty - running around manically sniffing everything - I mean, she's a terrier so is a sniffer and a tracker anyway but in the wind it's like on speed - you couldn't work with her, the nutbag. She gets the zoomies and then stops dead and sniffs the air like a woman possessed and ignores you completely before taking off again on her manic sniffing mission. Considering we're working on her focus and attention on walks we thought today would be a waste of a session because she's doolally atm and would just have selective hearing.

Pretty rough up the north west Scotland and the outer hebrides, Just about all of the 26 ferry routes are cancelled as are many trains but hey its only the yokels up north so not much of a news story there.
Now if the same thing were to happen in that there London or south east it would be virtually 24 hour news coverage |

Really?! If your arse is producing winds that powerful i suggest you are consuming way too many baked beans.

All settled down now though.
