Mental weather!! 
!
Hope everyone's safe and well .. just got in after ducking flying branches, dodging the march of the wheelie bins and avoiding bits of guttering. A housing complex at the top of our street has copped it bigtime, bricks and bits of roof everywhere, and Largs Main Street is flooded.. crazy weather indeed.

aye.. was a bit blawy this morning, slinks! It's a bit calmer now (and the neighbour's picked up all the bins) so I might venture out in a bit.
What can one say?
Thankfully, I'm not back to work until Thursday. Hope it's calmed down by then.

Heard it was heading north Kaffy! Take care!
It was going a bit mental here in the early hours and the rain has been dreadful all day.
I'm having a bad hair day - again! 
The forecast is for more to come; the ports are closed and we've been told to stay away from the seafront if at all possible. The lanes round here are a bit iffy too; localised flooding and trees down, although nothing looks damaged in our garden.
Don't envy any of you north of the border though; it makes down here look like a mere fresh breeze with a scattering of drizzle
Stay in, raid the fridge and bunker down in front of the telly

We lost one of the panels from our conservatory roof ....... we didn't realise until our neighbour arrived at the door with it! All fixed in again now 
It was wild!!
Between me and my neighbour we have 8 wheelie bins in the garden.The general green waste ones get emptied tomorrow,they were ok as they were full after a fortnight.The rest were blown all over the garden,spewing out the paper and plastic and tins...and a couple of me empty cider bottles.
The ones holding the glass bottles etc just keeled over.
Been a bit scary here, but died down now, thankfully
My niece and her partner were staying up at Fort Wililam over the new year at her Granda's,they were going to drive back to Glasgow today,but they decided to stay on another day,too many trees on the road down.
Thats for the best katty, they are safe, bet its been a worry for you x

At least you never had to knock the neighbours's door and say " please may I have my roof back.." Glad it's fixed!

It's a right giveaway, when the bins go over 
My neighbours now know I'm a chain smoking chocolate fiend

Still a bit wild today Katty. Thursday looks like a safer bet.

Our recycle bin went over. Hubby spent about half an hour chasing cans all over the garden. 
Back to wild right now.

Really starting to howl in Cumbria again

Correct!
It's going mental again here in Newcastle. Not sure whether its the weather or the win over Man U. But having watched the footie, I loved that Evertons goalie scored a goal with the help of the wind, no idea who they were playing, but it's just a fab thing.
LOL. Bolton Cinds.......wind has just been blamed by Man U for our win too
Blow football

Yeah OK. Newcastle played a stormer of a game.
I said to Mr Cinds, even if that Man U bloke hadn't tipped it with his head, the position of goalie, from the projectile I was looking, it might have been another goalie goal.
