Morning. Another horrible windy rainy day for us here I fear.

Windy with sunshine and showers here, a couple of minutes ago it was dark and piddling down, now we have bright sun.

We now have bright sun and its raining at the same time.

Good morning - Bright, breezy with a temperature of 7ºC. I'll take a ride to the allotment this morning to see if the greenhouse and poly-tunnel survived yesterday's battering. No plans other than that.

Have the best day possible.

Morning all.
Best laid plans etc etc. MrsD checking google news to find the whole sea front of New Brighton through to Hoylake is closed off.........good job she saw that before we set off.
Not far from us people have kayaks out in the flooded roads.
I will do a few of those 'bitty' jobs I keep meaning to do but never get round to.

Morning all, nice and sunny here, and the wind has abated somewhat.

That's a coincidence, it's the same here!

I've been looking at our front gate, the gate is undamaged, but there's a strip where the hinges screw in to the gate post thats been ripped of the post, fortunately the post is in two pieces so I should be able to replace one piece and rehang the gate.

Forecast has now changed for today. What was supposed to be 20 mph is now showing as 40 mph and it looks as though its just arriving

It has gone rather dark here, and it's raining again with gusting wind 👎

Way to unpredictable for going out. 5 minutes when it looks brighter, then suddenly goes black again and more sleety rain. The wind must be blowing constant showers over. Getting a bit stir crazy being cooped up though, so I might get togged up this afternoon and try a walk.

Thats a bonus! looking for a replacement for the cycling jacket who's zip self destructed last week, a jacket I'd had for many years, went into Merlin Cycles and they'd got Altura Airstream jackets at half price, £25 instead of £50, they're the same as I'm currently using, so I've had a pair of them.

Sunny, showery, cold and windy out - so it's a stay inside day sorting out stuff.

Hi folks , just wondering has anybody here got any experience of a Carrera Intercity folding bike (Halfords) I would need to carry it on the train and then ride about 8 miles on country roads to my destination. Can't afford anything fancy and would prefer a new bike even if its basic and safe.

No idea I am afraid. People seem to think Carerra bikes are Ok but I have no idea how heavy they are or how well they fold.
