Shed roof's just come off. Oh dear. I suppose it was going to have gone by the weekend one way or another. OH will have to do some (actual) battening tomorrow ahead of 85mph winds on Friday. I feel like March is coming in like a lion a couple of weeks early this year. Hopefully that means the weather will be lovely by mid March

Oh âeck @raisingirl ⊠thatâs a right PITA đÂ
 I was just pondering on why stormy winds always coincide with the evening we have to put the recycling bins out ⊠theyâre not weighty enough to stay upright when the wind whistles down the rise ⊠and then itâs fun rounding up the recycling and put it back in the bin, only to have the bin blow over again âŠ
⊠but thatâs not as bad as a wayward shed roof ⊠I am glad we had that big ash tree on the shady bank pollarded âŠÂ

Another topic - went to the biggest DIY shop in La Roche to get some bits I need to finish the living room including some 6mm MDF cut to order.  No cutting service till 6th of March.
Absolutely ludicrous. They've just lost a customer.Â
They weren't exaggerating when they gave a weather warning for here. It's really very bad indeed. When it gusts it's terrifying. I'm halfway up a hill right in the path of the southwesterly. Sorry to hear about your shed roof raisingirl.Â
I'm guessing here @wild edges First line is fairly self explanatory. I'm assuming the rest is - there's nothing hidden here in our squint chimneys, except nests - and I expect it's referring to jackdaws, rather than the usual meaning for jaikieÂ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Weâve just been out with a neighbour gathering up recycling from a bin thatâs blown over up the rise âŠ. I could hear the bottles and tins above the sound of the wind, our tv and through the double glazing and wooden blinds.Â
Weâve brought our bins back in to the shelter again, and got our empty milk bottles in too cos they were rolling around the drive.Â
