Back safely! We're OK on our side of the valley but there is snow on the hills to the west.
That wave cloud is amazing!!!
The snow didnt last long here, I hope we do get snow overnight 
it felt magical this morning
El Loro posted:Yogi, not even enough snow for this ?
lol That looks similar to the first snowman PB made a couple of years ago.
We've actually had more snow, so I could probably make a proper snowman. I won't though,
Evening 
still no more snow here, but I've heard that the south of England have some
Hi velvet 
how are you? Got any snow?
we are both fine thank you, I've come to bed for an early night and she's gone downstairs to sleep on the sofa 
Same here, I'm hoping to wake up to some. I've just heard that my brother is being evacuated! He lives in Norfolk
how is your doggy these days?
Evening Summer and Velvet 
Summer, why is your brother being evacuated?
I'll be in the CBB thread but I'll pop back at the adverts.
Glad she's doing well velvet, I bet she feels safe with you around 
enjoy cbb yogi
the evacuation is due to a storm impending, he lives on the coast.
ive just seen on FB that Newcastle have put flood barriers in place along the river too!
*fingers crossed*
are you watching CBB too velvet?

I'm glad your brother has somewhere to go till the storm passes.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Summer.
Goodnight and sweet dreams, Velvet and Ros.
EL-love the wavy cloud-fantastic
night yogi summer velvet and everybody
Good morning everyone
There's a covering of snow here overnight, I think it will go from the roads during this morning. Sunny and cold.
Summer, I hope your brother's home doesn't get damaged
Squiggle, I hope your area escaped any serious flooding
I hope everyone has a good day
Good morning everyone.
We still have snow but not as much as yesterday.
Summer, I hope your brother has been able to return home and there hasn't been any damage.
Squiggle, I hope the rain has stopped and no flooding occurred.
El, are you going to make a snowman?
Have a good day everyone.
Good morning everyone, the rain has stopped - it was dreadfully noisy most of the night - but it's still very windy. Not sure about any flooding yet until I go out. There's one place where it always floods, right by the coast, so really low down. They put a culvert in a while ago, it's about as much use as a chocolate fireguard, they must have got their calculations wrong.
I hope everyone is safe and I hope your brother has been able to return home now Summer.
Enjoy your day everyone

Just imagine the headlines in the accountancy press:

Now that would be fun
Good morning sunny here now, we had a small snow fall early this morning but it's almost all gone now
squiggle i hope you are feeling ok after your noisy night, and don't have too much to do today
US man pays for his vehicle tax in a rather unusual way,
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-38603615
It's legal tender in the US but not here.
Houses at number 13 are about ÂĢ9k cheaper than the average house.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38611142
Number 1 is the most expensive and number 100 the second most expensive.
Some streets don't have a number 13 at all
Summer, I've seen 11A used instead of 13 in some streets. Mine does have a 13 but an adjoining road has 11A.
Velvet, I hope you have a good weekend as well I've seen From Here to Eternity as well. A very good film. I think it was the first film that Frank Sinatra was in where he showed that he was a good actor in a serious film. The director Fred Zinneman was one of the best directors - films such as High Noon, Oklahoma, The Nun's Story, A Man for All Seasons, The Day of the Jackal (original version) and Julia - that's quite a CV.

Evening all.
Velvet, I hope you have a good weekend and your mum is getting over the lurgy
Squiggle, I hope you took it easy today, after your disturbed sleep.
Summer, any word about your brother, is he back home yet?
El, I'd definitely root for you. You are our very own Buddies' Mastermind.
Goodnight and sweet dreams everyone.
night yogi and everybody and summer if you pop in
Good morning everyone
A bit of sunshine here and cold. Forecast to be a bit warmer and cloudy for a few days from tomorrow.
Summer, according to the news, the storm surge on the east coast happened earlier than the high tides so that the threatened flooding didn't happen so your brother's home is probably unscathed
I hope everyone has a good day
@Former Member, BBC2 has another outstanding film tonight following yesterday's From Here to Eternity. On the Waterfront made the following year starts at 10:40 tonight. If you haven't seen it before, it's worth watching. Marlon Brando's performance as Terry Malloy is one of the genuinely great performances in the history of film, There's no connection with From Here to Eternity which although a very good film is dwarfed by On the Waterfront. It's one of those rare films where the rave reviews and awards given are justified.
Good morning everyone, thankfully much more peaceful weather this morning with some blue sky as well. I hope everyone has been able to return to their homes and breathe a sigh of relief now. It was certainly a violent period of rain and high winds. Was it a named storm EL? If so I missed that bit.
Enjoy your day everyone
Moin! It looks nice enough to go out on the bikes.
ION I bought a new shredder last evening and will now embark on disposing of several years of pre 2009 tax records and receipts and other personal stuff.
GJ, I think you will find that unless it's a good quality shredder you'll find that you'll need to do the shredding over a period of time rather than at one sitting. The one I use is a Fellowes which is sturdier than cheap ones which are intended more for shredding a few sheets rather then hundreds at one sitting.
Good afternoon all.
Weather is dry and bright but still cold. The snow is still here and there was a hard frost overnight, making it very slippy on the pavements.
Happy shredding, Joe. I need to invest in a new shredder as mine heats up very quickly.
Have a good day everyone,
