It’s winter and just the weather. At one time the weather was mentioned for a couple of minutes after the news, now it’s the news! 

No mains power yesterday and overnight. Lots of trees down and lorries blown over on the M6 near Scottish border. Fortunately I have a generator as we often lose power supply. Unfortunately I picked u

Just started to get a dump of snow which they said would happen as the two weather systems crashed into each other 

How did you get on wilf? Was wild up this way so guessing it was a tad blustery down there with you.

No mains power yesterday and overnight. Lots of trees down and lorries blown over on the M6 near Scottish border. Fortunately I have a generator as we often lose power supply. Unfortunately I picked up two,waifs and strays from the cottage down the road. Two ladies in their late 80s. I went to check on them and brought them back to ours. One of them was with it and good company, the other has dementia. She insisted on smoking in the house and moaning non stop. Normally I would be strict and ask her to smoke outside but since there were 90mph wind gusts, I couldn't. House stinks of tobacco smoke. However I did my good samaritan duty this morning, warmed their house up for them and dropped them off. 

I lost a garden wall and some sheeting from a shed so got away lightly. When I went to collect my elderly neighbours, I had to use their cottage wall to jam open the car door. I literally had to hold on to them to get them into the car. It was a cracker of a storm. Sunny  and calm now.

Have a cup of tea,deep breath,relax and chill,your one of life's good guys,the smoker would have been out in the garden 90mph winds or not,noxious habit,you have earned karma points for your actions.
