    I thought we were all supposed to be staying home today avoiding the 'Risk to Life' weather warnings? I spotted this on twitter - not sure that it is essential for a team to travel from Manchester to Oswestry to play a game of football this evening :o

    St Martins Football Club@St_MartinsFC🚗 MAINE ROAD TRAVEL INFO 🚗 

    Please check the local travel advice before leaving for tonight’s game. 

    Currently the A483 from Llangollen towards Oswestry is closed by police. 
    The A5 is also closed from Shrewsbury towards Oswestry.

    Game ON!

    Ante, is it furniture shopping tomorrow or food shopping?
    Biglad - I think that says it all!

    Watching the north-west news, it beggars belief just how stupid some folk are. Just idiotic!

  • We're just watching the news @Biglad 
    Our thoughts exactly, can't believe how many were out on beaches etc with cameras or taking pics on their phones. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

    Evening all. First coat of paint done on 2 walls.

    Did I mention that I HATE painting kitchens? So much cutting-in just on those 2 walls - cupboards, extractor hood, splash backs, 2 windows, french window, radiator, numerous plugs. Mostly quite awkward to access because of the base cupboards combined with my lack of height. Also can no longer ignore the greasy tops of high cupboards and all the little cobwebs and fly spats you can't see from ground level. Ever wish you'd never started a job? 

    G&T is most welcome this evening.

    Glad you've all stayed safe and well. Between making me cups of tea etc OH has been watching and giving professional commentary on some of the plane landings today. He's been there and done it but I don't think he misses it in this sort of weather! I don't miss worrying about it either. 

    Sounds like there's been some damage round and about us. I am only aware that I've lost 2 pots which were weighing down the compost bin lids. Wind obviously got under the lid and flipped the whole lot up and over. Very minor loss - no treasures.

    Bloke interviewed on street, "I didn't know it was going to be so windy".

    Woman asked to move on by coastguard agreed to be interviewed and smirked all the way through. So vacuous that she was cheerfully revelling in being 'on telly' whilst any right-minded viewer was thinking, "you stupid *****"

    Can you imagine if one of those coastguards ushering these cretins to safety got swept away and drowned?

    3 blokes stopped going for a sea swim.

    The list goes on. Unfortunately, these folk really get under my skin and make the blood boil :(

  • Sadly, they got their minute or two of fame, which they wanted.
    Enjoy your G&T, @Topbird

    LB, it will be furniture, food, garden, paint cans 🤮 and few other thing shopping. My car will be overpacked. 

    I'll retreat for tonight. After winter break, outside work can be really exhausting.
    Wish you all a good and restful night and keep safe.

  • Evening All, son arrived home safely so that’s me happy, 
    LB Those poor people opposite your SIL losing a new roof tile and have it land on their car, that is unlucky.
    Ante Good job started with making your first raised bed, I hope the shopping trip goes well tomorrow that’s a lot to buy. Good night, 
    Hazel Hope you can move the sofa out to the kerb without too much problem, 
    Topbird You've made a good start on the painting it’ll look nice when it’s done, enjoy the G&T 🍸
    Janet I hope you’ve not had any more snowfall, it looked like a lot had fallen in some areas on the news, 
    Biglad It is complete idiocy, those people just don’t consider the consequences of their actions, 
    Have a nice evening everyone.
