Storm Darragh has been and he has brought me….. a rattan footstool, presumably belonging to one of my neighbours.

He is trying his best to take our trampoline to give to someone else.

Has anyone had any nice gifts courtesy of Darragh?

My ex-mil was named Edna, if that’s who is coming next, be afraid, very afraid. That woman was a battle axe!

Just a collection of the neighbourhood wheely bins.

Yes.
And rubbish tipped over the drive, some unopened snicker bars also...😂

I have a new interior water feature 🫣

Oh no, I hope you can fix it quickly.

He made my dog a bit wet but I'm in the East of Scotland so he hasn't been as busy up here!

He has brought us more leaves than will ever go in the compost bin.

He is trying his best to give us part of next door's fence but DH and Mr Next Door have been outwitting him with some heavy duty stakes.

I’ve had one for a while, but at least Darragh didn’t make it any worse…

Us too. I’ve got quite used to our indoor waterfall.

He's helpfully unearthed some nerf gun bullets that were lost in our garden!

KayVess · 07/12/2024 14:08

This is an additional feature. We have one at the back already. This one is at the front. A matching set 🤣. We have builders starting work next year all being well so can get it all sorted.

DH has did his usual leaving a shirt out on the line to get properly dried. That was 2 weeks back. First thing I checked this morning and it's still there. Later I checked and it's wrapped itself around the clothes line hanging on for dear life. Fortunately the plastic Adirondack chair is still in it's corner with a few bird feeders on them (DH thought they could sit there until he gets them filled - this has been since February). Meanwhile the big recycling bin is sneaking up on his monster vehicle. I pushed it back in its corner once but it obviously likes living dangerously.

PickAChew · 07/12/2024 14:15

He arrived here, just before lunch, with the contents of next door's recycling bin

AdoraBell · 07/12/2024 14:16

Entertainment here, a squirrel navigating neighbours mature tree.

p1l1l · 07/12/2024 14:17

A repair bill for my dead fence

Lifeomars · 07/12/2024 14:19

He is just tuning up where I am, took the rubbish out and it was cold and windy, came in made a bit of lunch and now the wind is howling, rain lashing down and the trees look about to take off.

RamblasTapas · 07/12/2024 14:20

He took our trampoline at noon today.......and dumped it in next doors garden.
We are in the red area....it seems worse now than this morning.

Overjiggly · 07/12/2024 14:20

He's given open access to our neighbours garden by removing the fence. Also have a wheelie bin taking shelter between our cars.

Taranta · 07/12/2024 14:21

He’s left half the contents of the neighbour opposite’s skip in my front garden, rubble sacks, polythene, plywood, along with a mixed assortment of said neighbours recycling bin.

BCSurvivor · 07/12/2024 14:21

Storm Darragh brought me my Sainsbury delivery three hours early...I'm in the red zone...which I thought was really impressive.
He also helpfully relocated a plastic greenhouse and contents up up and away down the garden path.

QuirkyWriter · 07/12/2024 14:22

We’ve lost our food waste bin. Not sure how as I’m sure it had a bag of food waste in it and wouldn’t have made a mess if it had been whipped up by the wind. I also can’t see it anywhere down the road. A mystery!

BitOutOfPractice · 07/12/2024 14:25

It brought me a six hour delay to my holiday 😳

Suimai · 07/12/2024 14:28

I’m a carer doing house calls on foot, he kindly brought me a bottle of anti freeze. I wasn’t quick enough to catch it though, he just bounced it off my face 😭

Same here, it's as bad, if not worse, than this morning.

Kitkat1523 · 07/12/2024 14:30

He’s brought us a chimney cowl …..our own unfortunately 🙄

TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet · 07/12/2024 14:31

The neighbours bins and a broken plant pots.

changedusernameforthis1 · 07/12/2024 14:32

Wait, you're all getting presents?
He's taken a branch from out tree and given it to next door.
I think I should put in a formal complaint 😂
