I'd be too scared my knickers would be blown into a neighbouring garden. Blush

It is here too! I wish I'd had some washing out!

wind warnings for the SW tomorrow could gust to 60mph - enough to bring down small branches (mind you, saw small branches falling here today!)

We've had a message from the parish council saying the electricity company have contacted them saying they are expecting adverse weather conditions that may affect power supply tomorrow. SW Surrey.

Whats going on??

Our BBQ blew over this pm I think the wind got up under the cover

D&p I'm surprised at that, I'm not expecting anything more than about 40mph in your region tomorrow.

It died down a bit this evening and we got some nice sunshine. Tomorrow looks awful. Junior footy too. Sad

It is windy in the SW, but nothing a good pegging couldn't take care of when dealing with one of my big loads.

I had to walk instead of cycling to the shop today, as it was so windy. I forgot the coconut milk and refused to take the car on such a short journey so I walked at least 4 km in high winds.

Could someone please stop the wind, it's been bad since Thursday - there's not an upright dustbin anywhere to be seen.

I've fallen over once already, yesterday, the wind always makes me jittery and light headed.

Raining here again and gardener was supposed to mow my lawn today. He tries to convince me he can still do it but I am not having it Angry
We are having gusts of very breezy weather.
I have 2 vulnerable fence panels but they survived all the recent storms but not when my neighbour tore down his shed and erected another right near my fence.
Oh no he didn't touch the 2 trellis half moon top panels - oh yes he did as I saw him- and his excuse was that they fell down all by themselves as were rottonAngry
Wonder if my rose arch has fallen apart again?Hmm

It's getting very irritating - it's absolutely shredding my garden.
I'm hopeful that it will calm down Tuesday night.

I am a bit bored with it now. I want to put some washing out but it's doing that depressing drizzly thing.

I'm quite enjoying it at the moment, though it woke me up a couple of times in the night. Very blustery still now.

I am so fed up with it & looking at the garden makes me want to cry - it's being decimated.

I hope you are right about Tuesday, OYBBK.

It did improve. Gardener been and rose arch that had fallen apart again has been reassembled again .
Much warmer than this morning Smile Rain stopped at 10 am but not as sunny as yesterday.
Wind not that bad here.

I tried to go for a swim in the sea in the SW- bloody kite-surfers everywhere ready to slice my head off and raging waves. So I've skulked off to the pub instead Grin

Wind has got up here again, East Sussex coast & is bloody cold.

kaizen wer eyou in a wet suit? Sea still baltic round here & can't swim when rough as steep shingle makes it a sod getting out. Won't swim until it's 16C - usually end of June. But no wet suit.
