Morning, It must be the calm before the storm just now, it’s very quiet, cloudy but dry with little wind and the ocean is calm-ish. No pool this morning I slept in and can’t get my self in gear at all, actually feel like going back to bed for a while.
This afternoon will have to help secure things outside and get the animals inside till dear Storm Boelo has been and gone, seems it’s up to 70 MPH for us…
Well enjoy the day as much as you can everyone. 
Good afternoon all. Quiet before the storm here. I hate gales particularly through the night. I hope everyone stays safe.

Hi Mr Scot37. Do you remember the winter of 1963? I bet you didn’t like that. We lived in Kinclune farm, about six miles from Kirriemuir, and still had snow lying there for weeks.
I wish to withdraw my complaints over the summer about the heatwave, and have it return to us for a bit. !!!

It’s been a bit gusty all day … but supposed to be getting rather rough overnight.
I’m snug inside.

Evening, It’s really getting noisy here, the wind is howling down the chimneys and shaking the house too. I hate this weather it scares me sometimes and tonight is one of those times. 
We have a really tall chimney at the living room fire and I’m always scared it will come crashing down into the house when it blows like this, or if it went the other way it would land on top of the cars. 
We’re under an Amber warning for the next 24 hours, Trains are off so are Buses and the Ferries have been off for hours, since the sea started roaring. We’ve been told not to drive anywhere unless it’s a real emergency. Sheeeze I wish this was over, AND, AND, it’s to be like this again on Tuesday/Wednesday next week. 
Stay safe everyone.

We had gale force winds earlier on but it is a lot calmer here at the moment. I hope the storm passes without too much damage for you Rox up there in the north. I think the clocks go back an hour tonight.

Yes, I put our clocks back a wee while ago.

Looks like the River Leven has overflowed …
Did it oveflow at the Fourstones papermill (was Smith Anderstones) ?
no idea , i believe that’s in Fife ?my son lives near Dumbarton that’s how i know the town was flooded … Looks like i put an old clip on the flooding ,soz , i’ll try and find an up to date one …
this is the best i can find at the moment …>
OK. Maybe there is another Leven on the west coast that has had flooding ?
To be honest, not having a particularly great day. It’s our estranged son’s birthday today and we’re kinda down about it.
Ho hum.
Tomorrow is another day…

Hugs to you Dex …XX
I can’t complain about the weather here … though even here it was blinkin gusty and rough in the night. I could hear stuff bouncing about as it blew over the roof and a couple of objects hit the windows. Nothing like Scotland though …
Believe it or not I could hear someone letting off fireworls last night.

Did you let Mr Morty in, in the end? 
No! He’d managed to escape outside hours earlier.
