Getting breezy here in Swindon, my recycling boxes have just made an appearance on the lawn.

I find it odd that so much fuss has been made of this storm...Cobra meetings, first headlines on the news, special meetings of emergency services etc etc, yet when storm Arwen hit Scotland and the NE, causing massive destruction and some loss of life, there was nothing until afterwards, when a lot of people were without power for up to ten days and more. Seems there's still a long way to go with this levelling up malarkey.

At least if there was anything in the bins you won't have to worry about picking the contents up😀

South Somerset/Devon border its up to probably 60mph winds already with lots of trees down and flooding, off to Swindon later for the weekend so hopefully the roads will be ok by then.
Tis not looking good though down this end of the country at the moment.

It was soon after this that I moved the dog turd bin and wedged it between two robust plant pots A 10ft trampoline has blown over a 6ft fence near me, two random guys are trying to wedge it somewhere safe.

Every bloody Town/City north of Swindon have posted exactly this on Facebook, I can't wait until the North gets the worse weather that is 100mph winds and actually endangours lives Not going to engage in a dick waving contest, and social media makes it worse, but the north does, and for that very reason is why less fuss is made as simply you get used to it, same as my brother who lives in Sweden laughs like fuck about how we go on about a little snow in this country when he spends 4 months of every year digging his car out every morning to go to work. As for the point RWB Robin made re Arwen it was bloody odd insofar as it just wasn't remotely reported prior to the event, to such an extent I went away with a group of mates to a remote part of the Dales which obviously we wouldn't have done if we thought shitty weather was incoming and we got snowed in with no power or water for two days, in winds I could barely stand up in (never known wind like it!). Now whether that was south v. north bias or a met office fuck up who knows, I suspect there will be corn beef legs in force in the Bigg Market tonight though.
