How's the weather?

I think I'm too far north to be affected really which is just as well. Sad to hear of a few deaths related to the 80 mph winds.

It skipped NI, thankfully. Mind you, it's only late October ...

The bins got knocked over.

That's about it. Looks like all the action would've been in Pompey.

Not to worry you General, but the only 'Kremlin' I've heard of round these parts is a gay nightclub wink

Oh, I know - Kremlin Associates - I see it stamped on fivers at work sometimes. I may change my location details to something more appropriate, in view of that fact. I'm actually a country boy, not a Belfasti.

Walked over to Vicky Park this morning. Lots of branches down, but only one tree uprooted - a dead oak near the tennis courts.

Bit of an anticlimax, TBH. Was expecting something similar to the '87. Hurricane.

Still time for the 1987 Storm to be repeated. Though theory is we'll get heavy snow this year. Daily Express is rather fixated on the weather when it's not Diana.

Hope it's actually in December time round. For the last couple of years it's been the odd day or two in February.

Recall that the heavy snowfalls of November/December first in 2009 then 2010 were probably the most snow I ever saw fall in my life. Having grown up on stories of the Great 1963 Snowfall and hearing of winters of old with towering snowdrifts.

If I could avoid travelling into work I won't complain. Might actually be able to watch some Bonds at last.

Finally got some rain in Southern California. I'm not much of a sunny guy, prefer overcasts.

Never were truer words spoken about that rag that calls itself a "newspaper"!
