I was blown into work with rain and wind and it was much calmer coming home, but the storm is due tonight and tomorrow morning here. I must retrieve my recycling bags before they become airborne!
Hope you're able to rest eventually, @islander, and Gareth relents. Perhaps Dove's suggestion of comfortable earplugs might help, given that you have such a "loud" house...

Dry, fairly bright, but very windy. 8 degrees at nearly 8am. Waiting to hear if the racing at Cheltenham is going ahead, it has been a pretty wild night around here. Glos.
Sunny one minute then cloudy, then it's back to sunny then cloudy well at least the wind is more or less constant very windy but the gusts are high and set to get higher. Worried about the old shed and green wheely bins gone over with more of there contents in the road now than in them.
Quite pleasant yesterday, washing dried on the line, but wind got up late afternoon. Poured in the night, I knew as I was driving back from son's around 5am, DIL, expecting 4th baby, had a false alarm and they needed me while they went to hospital.
Lovely sunshine when I woke up but now it's raining. I'd put my gardening jeans on.
Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.
Racing at Cheltenham going ahead, much to the relief of 2 of my younger friends who are going. They are both dressed very smartly but sensibly, a few layers and boots, not shoes. I'm sure there will be some there dressed more for a sunny day in July ! With this wind, they will catch pneumonia. At least the sun is shining at the moment.
