Just back in from an afternoon ride out along the front. Strong southerly wind was very warm but slowed me down on the way out. Blew me home coming back, I barely had to pedal. Stopped off for a zesty refreshing beverage at Ye Olde Admiral Benbow ( formerly promenade toilets). There's still plenty of visitors about and dogs. Funny coloured sky , sorta orangey-grey. BBQ belly pork for tea. Life is good.

This just in from the RSPB explains that red sun earlier... "Saharan dust being drawn northwards by #Ophelia has created this amazing #RedSun! Have you been lucky enough to see this marvel?"

It's like that here too. Waiting for the storm

Getting darker and more yuck coloured by the moment

 

[Rickshaw Phil]

Got my ride in after all. It's now gone from breezy to windy so I'm glad I didn't leave it any later.

Chooks are away early. I've only seen the weather do this before a humongous snowstorm. I think it's a tad on the warm side for one of those

 

[petek]

Seems to be blowing over here. Sky's clearer.

This warmth is weird. I've been outside in short sleeves.
The winds have corralled the leaves into convenient piles to be put in the garden bin.

One of the reception children told us that the red sun was a comet (the clouds blowing across at speed made it look like it was moving), then he decided it was a moon sun.

Sky was really brown here earlier, had red sun as well. It is clearing up some, but wind is deffo picking up. Felt odd driving to Littleport earlier.

Ducked into the Co-op for 2 pints of milk while the parental unit went for her flu jab. Nothing worth waiting for in the YS chiller cabinet (nowt but sarnies and bananas), but the dry goods shelf yielded six bars of that divine 56% cocoa Peruvian dark chocolate with orange at 80p a bar and half tray (i.e. 15) of free range eggs for 95p.

There's lots of poncy cheeses already stickered for tomorrow, so will be deffo will be popping in then.

I'm suffering from cabin fever and Ophelia has landed.

The lamp post outside my kitchen window shows a surprising amount of flexibility.

 

[Levo-Lon]

Came up from the Embankment underground to the most weird sky..
About 3.15 ,lots of people just watching the sky

 

[Reynard]

The sky here is back to being blue. But it's deffo "hang onto your hat" time...

 

[Reynard]

I have just ordered a set of printer cartridges for £5.90.

Had to look elsewhere as 7dayshop no longer stock ones that fit. Amazon to the rescue.

 

[Speicher]

This wind is much stronger than I imagined.

I have just been on line to find out my nearest stockist of Franke kitchen sinks, and goggle came up with details of one in San Francisco.
