This is because of climate change!

Give me grant money now?

I looked in my tea cup, but the storm wasn't there either.

Friends of mine set off on a trip to London by train this morning to visit Madame Tussauds. Not only did the trains get cancelled when it was home time so they had to get a very expensive cab home, they returned to find their chimney stack shorter than when they left.

Val will be here soon to tell us it's because God doesn't like Brexit and is punishing us.

You've got to look out for each other in this weather. I just checked on my 88 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything from the shops. It turned out that she did ...so I gave her my shopping list as well. No point in us both going out in this.

i gave up work about 10:30 this morning after seeing bits of tree and household stuff flying through the air.
about an hour after getting home i heard a loud thud and feared something had broken off the house, went outside and found part of next doors fascia in the street.

it was amusing watching a reporter on the news and the camera man was deliberately shaking the camera to make it look more dramatic, whilst people in the backround were walking by quite normally.

you really cant believe anything you see on the tv these days

Nice to see the south getting a bit of a breeze for once rather than us and Shetland.

Fuck Eu-nice

Got another post and panel in. Took a while after finding a huge block of concrete 6inches under the dirt right where
I needed to put the next fencepost. Took some aggression out on that and hacked it out with a spade.(Although I ache a bit today...)
It was tricky getting everything level and keeping things still what with the wind and doing the job on my own, but its gone
in spot on

Also got the former mould finished and level to make my slab, rebar all cut to size too, just gotta peg the former into place
to support the sides before the pour. Going out to suspend the rebar grid later and it's ready for concrete.

Then I dug a small, neat, 6inch deep, V-shaped trench (fnarr) the length of the lawn and laid some armoured core cable
along it then up and under the former to come up through the slab. Then banged it into the mud at the bottom of the groove and
stomped the turf wedge back into the slot, taking full advantage of the wet soil. I want the power cable coming up through
the slab, so it can be incorporated directly into the new shed as it is being built. It's about six inches underground, that
will do for now. As part B of this project, I'm digging out for a slabbed pathway to follow the same route as the cable so it will
be dug up again soon and eventually slabbed over, it's just a temporary run so I can get it up and into the slab
and not trip over it every five minutes. You can see the run easily enough, so there won't be any shovel errors later.

Storm or no storm, I got loads done.

Could hear something rattling outside and saw a piece of sheet roofing fly off my neighbours garage and into my fence. Don't think it was part of the roof, just something they dumped there. Luckily it didn't fly the other way into cars.

Few large bricks fell off my neighbours wall too and shattered on his steps. The fucker has just piled them up outside my steps as if it's my problem somehow. Bet it will stay there for months now.

Some lead flashing also fell off my porch roof, but that was already coming off so kinda my fault for not fixing it

I’m having a garden sale tomorrow. I’ve got three trampolines, four fence panels and some patio furniture. New stuff arriving all the time!

Not too much damage here: cover ripped on one bike.

I put two fragile shrubs in pots into the shed before the storm.
Hopefully my new camellia tree will have survived. Haven't looked out there today.
