Mild means wind and rain.

 

The storms will be back.

Aye. We need some periods of proper cold weather too. It encourages blossoming and fruit production which is important economically.

Can help twat pests too.

 

And its shit not being able to build a snowman.

Come on Aileen...

She's coming all right.

 

I've just cleared and stacked the garden furniture and wedged in a corner. Trampoline sides are down, and I've put extra battens in to wedge panels in tighter.

 

I'm normally pretty sheltered as my gardens backs facing west forwards a big fuck off forest, so that takes most of the hit when it's a zephyr.

 

But it's a steady blow at 62mph from 3am. That means gusts in the 80's. That's gonna be very tasty indeed.

 

If it's anything a strong as that in notlob you'll wake up to no fence panels and maybe a new trampoline in your garden.

No where near as bad as predicted. Heard nowt.

Quite lucky re panels as most of the garden is hedging and puppy proof mesh!

 

No trees down neither.

My fence panels went nowhere as the fucknugget who fitted the posts did them wonky so they were put in with a sledgy.

it was cranking upna notch around 3am, nothing like was predicted tho

Th'heating on

Must confess put the stove on the other night.

Geese are departing in their droves.

 

Must mean high pressure next week..

Long cold winter

There is, its nearby and drawing the winds down form the north. Hence clear and cold tonight.

Should see some ace spider webs tomorrow morning in the dew.

First day of Autumn today I reckon' - all downhill from here.

Lovely morning though. Mist and spider webs. Sunshine too. Ace.

Venus very bright this morning

Mowed the lawn early evening. A massive V formation of birds were heading due south overhead. With the stragglers I reckon it took nearly 5 minutes for the lot of them to depart. No idea what they were as they were too high up. Looked like gulls but probably not. That tells me winter is on it's way

 

You'll know best gonzo. Are they taking advantage of strong Northerly winds? Flight to Gran Canaria last week was 3 hours 15 mins due to tail winds but coming back was 4 hours 45 mins

Aye the ones you see now will be buggering off down the west coast to Portugal and Africa staying along the western coastline.

 

The arctic geese will be arriving on these shores soon. Usual in lochs in Scotland first then they leg it south to feed once they've bred.

Swans will be coming I soon won't they?

Martin mere and all that. Fucking off Scandinavia for warmer climate of balmy Britain.

 

Also get robins with German accents.
