Pretty sure the dividing fence between mine and next door's garden will be down by morning. It's currently listing rather alarmingly and making noises like an elderly man getting out of a chair

I anticipated the bbq cover so nipped out and put a big brick on it.

Did it blow away anyway and fling the brick through your window?

 

[Clint]

No.

Paddock fence has lost a few slats, though pleasingly not from the part I replaced in the summer! Went down to Porthtowan today to have a look at the sea, bit rough!

Someone's recycling bins have blown into the garden - no way to find out whose they are.

Not many flooding reports here thankfully.

Calmed down this morning in Brixham. We’re on a headland so the winds are always stronger than in the town. All the trawlers are safely in the harbour.

Further east inland it's been windy/stormy, still is for the rest of the day.
4 trees near the rail line bending back and forth ... safe distance from my house.
2 trees reported near me - this one round the corner:

Is that proof the planet doesn't like electric cars?

A good jetwashing and into the shed with them. Ideal for storing sacks of malt,

It;s proof the planet doesn't like Elon Mouse. Neither does anyone else, except Fart, and he's orange!

Power off from early hours of Saturday morning until Sunday morning. Few panes of glass in the greenhouse smashed, a few smallish trees in the garden down. But after seeing my veg garden which was completely swamped and under about six inches of silt my heart goes out to people who have their homes or businesses flooded,it must be soul destroying.

There are times when being a 1 car household is somewhat inconvenient...

See thread on chainsaws.

It's alright, busy now dismantling the tree. Got the car out yesterday - the only damage is a few dents at the edge of the roof and a bust windscreen. Could have been a whole lot worse but hey, firewood!
