Hi Dove. Your weather sounds a bit grim. Our weather is just the opposite - equally unpleasant except very hot and dry. Prediction for Melbourne tomorrow is 41c and Canberra 38c. We’re somewhere in between. Expecting to last for 4 days.
The weather has calmed down a bit here thank goodness ... OH said it was blowing a hooley for several hours but I only heard it when the car alarm went off ... think a bin slammed into it but can't see any fresh dents ... ... we can't find our small black foodwaste bin anywhere ... OH says he'll go out on his bike and look for it a bit later on ...
Everyone else ok?

Very noisy here last night - everything crashing about. Didn't get much sleep It's calmed down now though I think I'll have another cup of tea before i get my wellies on and go and see what's been broken (apart from the TV aerial - saw that one go) or blown away
hope everyone is safe and the air con is working Down Under. OH lived in Aus for a while - he said Roos - the big red ones in particular - are one of the scariest animals he's ever met in the wild (no bears or tigers round here )

Good morning. It's a bit blowy here and grey but dry so far. SM day today and dancing this evening and a hot date with the sewing machine in between.
Enjoy your aircon shopping Pat. Liri - I don't think my tum would appreciate porridge at any time of day though I love oats in biscuits and crumbles so good luck with that and your journey. Hope you and OH both get to relax.
Have you found your bin Dove? We don't get food waste bins here. Just bags for recyclables and a small general waste bin. Other than that, bottle banks and recycling centre and compost bins for our waste.
RG - I hope you have no other damage. Aerials make good bird perches but that's all ours is used for now tho I understand we could get French TV on ours if we wanted.
LG - our work and social lives meant we often had very late dinners but that was about 30 years ago. Hope OH's hours go back to normal soon. Better for families isn't it when they eat together.
Busy - love bare trees too and lovely big skies. Was lunch good?
Greetings to all to come. I hope severe weather sin't interfering with life too much. Stay safe and cosy, it'll soon be spring. Just got to get thru Feb and the March lion.

OH has been out and swept up the scattered rubbish in the street (bless him) and is shutting the elderly neighbour's back gate that was slamming around, but no sign of our bin so far ... he says he'll search a bit further afield in a while ... we're near a junction, so it could have gone anywhere if it was blown along the centre of the road, or of course it could be in a shrubbery, rockery or pond ... or under a car even ...
BL ... we can soon look forward to dining at The Ivy here in Norwich ... apparently the celebrities' favourite London haunt has spawned a chain and Gap is closing to be replaced by an Ivy Brasserie ...

I came to reception yesterday and wrote a very long post , only to have the internet crash as I hit " send" I've just noticed it didn't make it. ggrrr.
A very chilly wind here so the locals have jackets and bobble hats on in the morning . Hubby complaining he needs another blanket. ( he just needs more flesh )
Our lovely German neighbour caught a fish yesterday and we had it last night with locals on the beach.
I bet our chilly wind is bigger and colder than your chilly wind
Hope Wonky's ok down there in Suffolk ...... sounds as if it's been worse there than here .... I won't phone her 'cos she's either at work or at the dentist ... can't remember which morning she said she was going

I meant to say earlier that I’m really impressed with your Amaryllis, Dove. What a beauty.
And Lilyp, that snowy Road is very graphic. It looks very slippery.

Yeah, we can't get any terrestrial TV here as it turned out, so it's no loss to us. The house sparrows will miss it though
