Storm 'Doris'

[fossyant]

Pretty blowy here. My rotten back gates have already fallen victim, bringing forward my plans to replace them. There were two trees down in the park and when the third one came down next to me and the dog, I decided it was time to go home and drink coffee.



You may or may not have mentioned it but Happy Birthday (belated)

My rotten fence panel is still standing, but I think it's resting on next door's shed !! The 'old' gate was replaced last year - I made one out of left over decking planks. It's rather 'substantial'.

Blackpool is always like that when I go!!

Very blowey in Milton Keynes. Just had to get out of my sick bed to rescue the patio table and chairs.

You'd get some strava KOMs in Blackpool at moment !!

Damn, my new bike has just been delivered and Doris is still raging outside. You would have to be crackers to go out on a bike at the moment, oh well, I suppose I can always read the instructions on fitting the saddle, stem and handlebars thoroughly instead of going out for a ride, then there's always the owner's manual zzzzzz.

Blowy here in Aylesbury. Mr S has had to go back to Northants as fence panels have gone at his Mums. He has just phoned to say one of the roads about 8 miles away is closed as cables are down on the road by Swanbourne. Not sure if it is phone or power cables.

I've stayed off the bike today, I don't fancy getting blown under a lorry thanks

My overgrown pyracantha is trying to take out my fence. The last big storm took other panels

Said shrub, as much as it's a good security measure may have to go, grows like topsy!

I'm going to get my kite out.

Two of my wheelie bins have blown over.

Who do I sue?

I for one have been Trapped in My Home by the stiff breeze.

It's been fair challenging cycling around today, even down here in London. I'm not the lightest (13 stone) but even so been blown sideways twice by gusts. Riding downhill into a headwind has been a bit of a struggle.

I thought we'd already had Doris!
Turns out that she's on her way in day or two..

I've never had Doris.

Plenty of tree's down around these parts.
