Jill & I are generally up early on Sunday morning to do our weekly grocery shop.
We abandoned that idea after seeing the weekend weather forecast so even though I had a busy long day with work & wasting my time watching that shower of yesterday, we awoke at 6.15am Saturday morning & were in Tesco by just after 7am, had the store more or less to ourselves apart from their friendly staff , nice & easy job done.
one of the garden fences is moving like an accordian and only a matter of time before it is a 6x6 kite.....
the roof of an old aviary that I was about to dismantle at the end of the month is now on the floor.... an next winters logs for the fire are falling in the woods, 3 so far this morning.
30 mph winds, lashing rain. I dreamt that my house was a leaking prefab on a sodden floodplain. Luckily it's still a stone cottage on a hill. Not going out for the usual Sunday walk though.

I should think not Sara
We've batten down the hatches around the garden by taking down the hanging baskets, moving seats, watering cans into sheltered areas. We always worry about the huge conifers coming down & are concerned our large conservatory roof doesn't shift in places as it has done previously.
Casper fast asleep on his bed in front of the heater even looked up when the hailstones were being swept into the lounge windows, he thought sod it & went back to sleep, he won't be going far today much too comfortable indoors

I quite like the feeling of hunkering down in a storm, especially by the sea. Will probably venture out to sit by the local pub fire later.
Used to love it on the yacht Sara. Safely tucked up in a marina somewhere, oil lamp glowing and keeping us warm, the rain rattling on the coach roof, frying pan out and bacon butties listening to Pet Shop Boys

Cheeky
We love The pet shop Boys, always have. I used to have a real crush on Neil Tennant when they first arrived with 'West End Girls'. Also, listening to them got me through the first gulf war. We were lucky enough to see them a few years ago in Birmingham and they really were awesome
