Right, off to get a snack now 

See you soon Yogi  

No worries, see you soon.

Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.

Night owl hugs.

Nite nite, sleep well and have sweet dreams Yogi   

night yogi and moons and summer if you pop in

Good morning eveyone.

 

It's been very windy and heavy rain all night.

I could hear the slates on the roof lifting, which was scary, so I stayed downstairs and haven't slept a wink.

According to the weather forecast we have at least another couple of days of strong winds and heavy rain predicted. I hate to think what state my roof will be in afterwards, and I can see my greenhouse has been damaged.

 

Good morning everyone

 

The weather here is a lot better than in the north.

Yogi, although you will need to check the state of your roof when the winds have died down, hopefully it will be OK. It's normal for tiles to lift in strong winds and then drop back to their normal position

My goodness that sounds alarming Yogi, I didn't know that it's normal for tiles to lift in high winds I hope the wind settles down and doesn't go on as long as predicted and that your greenhouse is not too badly damaged. Will you be able to have a nap today to make up your sleep, otherwise you're going to be exhausted.

 

Enjoy your day everyone

Good morning peeps   

Really windy here but the sun is shining  

Have a good day whatever the weather  

Good morning all sorry I didn't get back here yesterday, I was so tired and finally had a reasonable night's sleep. I think I'm conquering the cough at last

My goodness yogi that's scary, I hope there's not too much damage you must be really tired too

It's very windy here and there's been a few incidents around the area

Hi Sweet  

So pleased you are feeling better 

Hope you get completely better very soon 

Hi to El, Squiggle, Summer and Moonie.

From what I can see from the ground, we do have a couple of slates which have moved. It will be too dark by the time hubby gets home for him to do anything tonight, but hopefully (if it's not too windy) he and sons can do something about it tomorrow.

 

Summer, I'm glad you managed to get some rest last night. Hopefully your cough is on the wane.

Summer, I'm glad your cough is going at last

 

Yogi, your roof doesn't sound as if it's badly damaged

Good news about that pesky cough Summer, and hopefully not too much damage to your roof Yogi, can you see if there are any broken panes in the greenhouse?  Hi moonie, hope you are OK.

*gets ladders and heads off to Yogis to fix her slates*

 I forgot I suffer from vertigo 

Glad you are not damaged to badly Yogi 

Hi El and Squiggle 

Not feeling to bad fankoo Squiggle 

 Mr Yogi isn't too keen on going up ladders either. My bet is that one of our sons will fix the slates, while hubby holds the ladders.

Ages ago I saw a neighbour putting up a ladder. It was almost at a 45 degree angle so I went out and told him that that was dangerous. Considering he's a paramedic he should have known better.

 

 That could have been very dodgy. 

It was and there was no-one with him to hold the ladder. He did move the ladder to make it safer.

 

Well thank goodness for that, silly man.  Yogi will it be safe for hubby and sons to go onto the roof if the wind is still going to be high?  I am glad you are OK moonie, I know life isn't easy for you

The wind blew out a large front panel near the greenhouse door and a large back panel directly behind it.

Thank goodness!

They won't go up unless the wind has subsided - I wouldn't let them.

Yogi, good, I didn't think you would let them.

Seems sensible to me 

You know me very well, El.

 Hubby will think so too.

What's the forecast for the weekend Yogi? We have winds of 36mph down here, heaven knows what it's like up there.

I get vertigo stepping off a high kerb Yogi 

 Aww 

The sun has gone here now and it's going dark so I guess my area is about get the promised rain 

On a good point the wind dried the washing I did which included a thick bath sheet  

When I go down a steep escalator I hang on for dear life  

It's got very dark here and is windier than it was (but nothing like it has been in Scotland).

(I'm not expecting to ever go there)

 

Glad to hear that El  

 I should hope not!

 

Very modern and clinical looking.

That must be horrible for you. I don't have a problem with heights, just enclosed spaces.

The alternative to escalators and lifts - the paternoster:

probably not suitable for those who suffer from bad vertigo or enclosed spaces

Although I have not been on the one shown in the clip, many many years ago I did go on one which was in a department store somewhere (too long ago to remember where). I didn't know then that the cubicle didn't turn over at the top.

 

I won't go up in a small lift on my own  

Pass on that too El 

You wouldn't get me in one of those, I'd need to take the stairs!
