Judging by the way the cat was shouting at the door to be let in, and the way he darted in so quickly shaking his paws and looking unimpressed I'd say it's not very nice out there!

We're forecast a pretty strong storm overnight and it's already getting rather breezy, with the old squally rain shower (which sounds rather like someone chucking buckets of water at the window).

At last, someone with worse weather than us! - Not that I'd wish it on you.

Just checked the forecast.. storm coming in - winds peaking around 60 mph <sigh>

We've actually been incredibly lucky so far this winter - most of the storms seem to have hit NI, Wales, and Southern Scotland rather than us (famous last words)!!!

They're "only" forecasting up to 80mph winds so hopefully nothing too exciting...

Exactly what I was going to say! A stay indoors with the lights on day again

Chucking it down here too, with a nasty wind behind it.  And I could really do with some parsnips from the plot and onions from the shed ...

Bright, dry, cold and very windy.  Dreadful storm during the night but can't see any damage thankfully.

Ditto!
Which isn't surprising since we're a few miles south of you and east, of course, being across the water in Wales

It hasn't stopped raining all day here, the wind has been high as well  and all the 'fast' services  to and from the Island have been cancelled.  Some of the slower car ferry services have been disrupted as well, in my 28 years here I' ve only  known once when we,ve been totally cut off.

The stars are out there is a cold wind,but its dry at the moment.

[snowdrops]

Well there appeared to be a storm through the night that has blown itself out this morning so it’s starting to dry up with the sun coming through,perhaps I’ll manage to walk into town for lunch with my little granddaughter rather than have to use the car😊

It was still raining heavily at 7am but has stopped now. Useless going to the plot though - it was sodden yesterday, with one car stuck in the grass mud parking area, near the gates  so hate to think what it will be like today, after more rain 

[Plot 1 Problems]

Sunshine! Actual direct unclouded sunshine 

Time to get the wellies out and get down the plot...

[pigeonpie]

It's a beautiful still day here. The sun is just starting to burst through the hazy clouds, and the sea loch in front of the house is like a mill pond (I can actually see the ripples as the bird life swim past).
