Hi Morty, I’m still here. Jess is away for a wee break and I think Dex said something about heading off as well. Our storm warning is for starting Saturday, I hope it’s not too bad I hate these strong winds, I can hardly stand upright in them.

Ah @Rox and @Besoeker , grumpy old scotmans

I’d be scared to death up Scotland. I hate storms.

Hi Rox. I went to Berlin for a few days and got back Tuesday.
Today’s the first day I got my sorry derrière into motion in terms of shopping and housework, which is kinda what I’ve got lined up for tomorrow as well.

Sorry about my complete lack of pleasantry this evening, but …
Scotland’d be scared to death if you went up there.
Anyway, that’s enough cruel cockney humour. Back to wooing you. 
Well I lived in Scotland in the hills on a farm and yes, we had storms. The worst one was in 1963 and we had our own snowplough to clear the road. The last of the snow didn’t clear until April.

Winters do seem to be a lot milder now … snow I like as long as someone else has it dumped on them.
Must have been catastrophic for a farmer though .

Since when have you being a cockney? And stop trying to weevil your way back into my good books.

Well, I heard Dick Van Dyke sing on Mary Poppins.
Doesn’t that count?
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-ee!
A sweep is as lucky, as lucky can be
Chim chim-in-ey, chim chim-in-ey
Chim chim cher-oo!
Good luck will rub off when I shakes 'ands with you
Or blow me a kiss and that’s lucky too 
Yes, indeed it was. We spent a lot of time digging sheep out of the drifts. And yes, the winters milder now. As I recall the last snow we have had was around 16 years ago…

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.
