    Not "of" should be "or" drizzle.

    Morning all. 

    Pretty breezy here. Woke me up at 6am but the rain has now stopped . 

    I seem to have random "dumpy sacks" about the place so I'll have to round them back up after dropping Hubby off at the shop.

    Coal face overtime at 1.30pm. Due back at 19.00 which is could as the shift can run until 21.15.

    Hi all.

    Very wind here already, ominous groaning from the Beech trees.

    A lot of rain overnight, stream has white water.

    Don't think I am going out today.

    Stay safe.

    Hope all is well Punk. It's 2 years since we lost our huge beech.  I miss it every day, however, we have started burning it now!!!

    Very windy here already - forecast to get much worse. Have put the garden waste wheelie bin out but might ring the Council Offices in a minute. Last time we had wind forecast to be as strong as this they suspended bin collections because empty bins were being blown all over the roads. Don't need mine being blown over & discharging the contents - it's packed.

    Quick trip to SM this morning - was planning to go after our snowdrop walk so milk and veg are a bit low.

    Stay safe everyone.

    Good morning.   Woken up at 7:30 by hungry, playful kittens and then dozed off to be woken again at 10am by hungry, playful kittens.  All this outdoor exercise is certainly giving them an appetite!

    It's mild with a gentle breeze and no rain.    Painting this morning then sanding and taking delivery - all being well - of the polytunnel.   Sending OH on a sandpaper hunt.

    Second coffee first.

    Stay safe everyone.

    due to the lack of wine / beer bottles , our recycling bottles ( Milk, lemonade etc ) are all over the place. tsk.

    Heard on the radio that the M8 has real problems with snow. 

    Stay safe, and warm and dry one and all.
