    Batten down the hatches - we're in for a big'un

    It's blowing harder than a bad motherboard BIOS out there.. and getting worse.

    If you've got stuff loose outside, get it in or get it battened down!

    Might just squeak being in one of those minty coloured bits, but don't really fancy my fences' chances against anything much more.

    No going & doing anything foolish/unnecessary, folks.

    Lot calmer hereabouts now.. but all set for another go by the morning. Oh well, if a chimney pot falls on my head tomorrow, at least I made it to my 3,000 post / 10 year Hexus anniversary.

    'night all.

    the blackpool/fylde coast areas a bit wet today http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england...shire-42092038
    north wales is a bit blustery too http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-n...wales-42092007

    and I'm in the area between the 2, looking out the window at a small puddle on the driveway. and a leaf has just fallen off next doors tree.

    I'm in a weird geographical area of the country.
