Todays official STORM thread

[toeknee]

Oh heck, got to go and pick my son up from leeds tomorrow, leaving around midday, not looking forward to going
Over the Pennines. .

Just saw a tweet saying Flights from Norwich to Manchester have been cancelled, and coaches ordered instead. Now, I don't know how long it takes to fly from Norwich to Manchester, but it's a 4 hour drive in a car. I think I'd jump in front of a coach rather than do that journey!

My Dad's was supposed to be picking up a family friend from Norwich airport from one of those flights at 5pm. (The flight was from Aberdeen and stopped off in Manc for some bizzare reason, where they cancelled the onward journey). He reckons the replacement coach won't get to Norwich until midnight if lucky!

I'm spending Christmas on a ship in the English Channel, assuming it can leave Portsmouth harbour. This may be a bumpy ride....

I wish I was with you, away from the in-laws.

Wot storm? We have a bit of wind a steady rain, but no storm. If it's 'Darn Souff' the Beeb will doubtless deluge us with horror stories, but when we get the same there's nary a mention.

That's because nobody lives up' north

A fine eveming, dry and mild, the lights of an oil rig mirrored on the calm sea.

You okay? Has it done damage?

In a genius move I binned the bike & almost made it through under the trunk but my foot caught a fairly major branch & spun me round into another one. Result it 3 broken toes & a cracked rib. Managed to ride home very slowly.

Oooh, ouch! Something you could really have done without. I hope you heal quickly.

I'm more annoyed that just as I'm getting back on top of my training I'm injured again! I've been injured 3 times this year all from 'freak' accidents.

Weather's nice and calm here. Bit wet earlier though. Snow on the hills, winter is coming at last!
