Morning.
It has brightened up here but it still looks windy.
Georgie was in a funny mood last night. He came in wet and jumped up on the chair I was sitting in to wash himself dry. He then sort of asked if he could sit on my legs which I let him do and gave him some ear rubs. He then jumped down and went back outside again. He came back in later and did the same thing but this time he decided to sleep on my legs. He couldn't sleep so decided to bite my feet. I couldn't stand that so off he went again to come back in just before bedtime. I was woken up by him at 1.45 wanting to sleep on my feet but then decided he wanted to go out.

We’re only getting the mild end of the storm here, gusts peaked at 62mph last night. It has dropped to merely being windy this morning but it’s due to increase again this afternoon, not to yesterday’s levels though. We were supposed to be travelling up the A9 today but from social media our destination seems to be beset with power cuts and fallen trees so we will be delaying that.

With the neighbours overgrown hedge tree having finally been felled a few weeks back the storm has now despoited the branches if some lesser tree/shrub atop the fence.
Radio York need a geography lesson "the worse of the storm will affect northern parts of North Yorkshire, Pateley Bridge, Ripon..."Eh! What about Richmond and Leyburn?

With this wind about I wondered if many of our readers had a land yachty type bike? I saw one a few years ago and didn't twig it at first. I just thought it was a recumbent until I noticed the sail sticking about 12 foot above it. I wonder how they would go in this weather?

Morning from a sunny and windy corner of Numptonshire.
First cuppa brewing
No early morning ride 😕

First cuppa went down well

Another belated good morning from Suffolk - blame a nice warm duvet, the radio and coffee. A mostly sunny start to the day but with a very strong breeze and even stronger gusts putting a lot of movement into the branches of the trees on the other side of the rail line.

A load of cycle clothing is currently in the wash and, with this breeze, will probably dry quite quickly on the whirlygig - if the pegs will hold the clothing on there that is! Other than that, all that needs to be done is shopping for milk and today's food and I'll probably do that on foot as I don't fancy my chances of staying upright on the bike given the strength of the wind gusts.

I've rejoined the modern world with electricity again.

Missing Parcel that 'wasn't delivered is waiting for me at a Royal Mail office in....Oxford ! Some buffoon has tried to deliver to a road of the same name as mine, in Oxford, not Stockport !
