good afternoon, very windy here,could hardly see when out with the dogs because my eyes were streaming. Rubbish blowing everywhere not to mention empty bins which are still outside lots of houses seeing as its collection day. Rumours of more snow to come,really hope not. How's your ankle $andie?

Hi girls~~

Ankle much better ,still a bit achy on times ,thanks for asking Paula, Has a bit of a 'knock on' effect with my thigh and hip now aching..apparently the result of limping and put on 1/2 stone from not regular walking.C'est la vie !!

Wet and windy here,too... and probs with my eyes streaming,( always have tissues in my pockets) despite the fact I wear glasses .

Wonder were Maz is today, hope she's OK.

Take care

morning all ,our Mozilla gets really fussy sometimes but also the weather is not helping i think i will have to recover all my bins when it get light it was a very wild night here

Hi folks~~~
Same here Maz weather wise , last night I was weighing down bins with bricks, wedged in the large 80 litre black council bin with nan's large ceramic plant pot ( still full of perennials ).
However the waste food bin blew away down the garden.. locked (,so it didn't spill it's contents ) and the waste paper recycling bin did the same, minus it's lid , think hubby found it and replaced it..contents probably soggy !!
I nearly got blown off my feet walking down our road at I.30pm, just out to ensure my 90yr neighbour doesn't take her dog this way, she usually does at around 2,30pm.
Son just told me he'd been on MSN and the roof had been blown off one off the new Campus buildings in either Newport or Cardiff Uni's !

16.04..Phew ! just spotted my neighbour Meg walking the dog at her usual time, so abandoned this post, grabbed my coat and went out with her around the block, that takes an hour !..then I took her home and she kept chatting ,bless her.{ the walk would have taken me 5 mins::) }
I'm no saint but she would have literally been blown off her feet if she'd been on her own, we both nearly were at at one point !!
She won't let anyone else walk the dog, yet cos I go with her quite often the dog listens to my commands, she walks her at school time without a lead and there are always cars about.
The school children love her and call her across the road which Meg doesn't always see. The dog always comes back when I call her and follows my commands ( but Meg won't have it ! she insists on walking her herself ) and have told the schoolchildren not to do so and that if they want to fuss her to walk the same side of the road to do so.

Must do food for my son, just had a short text.. he was absent when I got back,
(I think he's going to the Rugby International in Cardiif tonight.) and wants food for 5pm
Byee~~~

Edit ..just read only part of the roof at one of the Newport Campus has been damaged, roads close tho causing traffic congestion in the city.

morning all what a night i can see ridge tiles off around so will look as it gets lighter as i cant see our roof yet there are a couple of aeriels off too .It is a lot calmer this morning

Hi ~~~
No let up in this weather !
Some neighbours have had ridge tiles blown off.
Our tiles seem all secure thankfully.
We've lost a few in the past...
Many yrs ago whilst hubby was carrying baby dau to the car a tile came off , narrowly missing them.. and crashed onto the bonnet of the car ! Phew close one..what's damage on a car compared to a life !!
The whole car could have been damaged as far as I was concerned, tuf, as long as my 2 loved ones were safe.

morning all we were lucky apart from twigs everywhere the roof was intact we have a wet day so far here it is also dark

Same here Maz.
Front garden is strew with pieces of plastic sheeting (various sizes), presumable blown from a neighbours who is having a loft conversion.
Too wet and windy to clear them up !!

morning all have a good one

morning all

Hi girls~~

Oops , becoming a Maz thread again.

Won't bore you with my excuses for not posting, except Migraine this morning, after I had clicked.
I can feel them coming on before I get the flashing zig zag lights in my right eye.

One thing I'm pleased about for this thread, with the new set up on GR is that it defaults to the first posting...tells peeps what it's about, hopefully it will get more peeps clicking.
Annoys me with other threads I've just posted on tho.!

morning all
wet and windy again

Hi~~~~
Damp and misty here.:(

Yesterday was blue skies and eventually became windy so most of my washing dried:)

I need a hair cut, it's growing 'wild' again, think I will do what I did last time ,just have a dry cut, see how 'bad 'the crown of my head is colour wise
The most of it is greying, the nape of head has no grey , but it's that bit at the crown and at which seems whiter !!
I hate being a slave to fashion, hate them blow drying my hair, cos it's naturally curly, they seem to straighten it, and straight doesn't suit me.
I seem to have gone even curlier since hitting 50 ! and a lot greyer .lol

Hello girls,
had some internet probs again. Keep getting updates which either take forever or else cause probs which I don't have a clue how to sort and have to wait for Gary to put right.
Winds have been terrible and like you $andie, my eyes stream making it hard to see which unnerves me a bit when walking the dog early morning when it's still quite dark.
Pleased your mammagram results were clear Maz xxxxx

Morning all~~~

Damp and misty here again :(
