Tonight's tea was a packet of crisps in a roll and a can of juice!
Only later did I remember there's a camping gas stove and my electric car has 2 13amp outlets and I have 3 induction hobs!!! Sorted for tomorrow if it continues. 😂
Power back on around 1am. Got up to check no lights were left on and various heating controls were set correctly.
Quite a bit damage around about us this morning.
The Asda petrol station sign at the Jewel was damaged and bits of it were all over the road. Few trolley shelters totally collapsed as well. Tree down at the top of our road and a lanpost down on the path behind us. Bin shed door is blown off and there are slates all over the road.
Free exercise for me this morning chopping up the destroyed fence.Quote:

Thankfully the warnings were spot on and no doubt saved a hell of a lot of people a lot of hassle and injury.
And that’s before you consider the impact on the emergency services if everyone had just went about their business as normal yesterday.
I’ll need to send my drone up to do a wee reccy on the roof when the winds calmed down tomorrow but it seems fine from down on the street.
Apparently flats in Leith (Hawkhill) although people are questioning if it's real. Shoddy building if it is, the fancy glass balastrade seems to have brought the wall down.

It’s real, it was the talk of the street Facebook page yesterday!Quote:

There'll be questions asked on this one, there should be 2.5 wall ties per M² and I don't see any.Quote:

And front door, and garden (filled with rubbish from everywhere else).Quote:

18 feet of fencing torn to shreds 🤬 delivery of a new fence on Monday so me and my Brother are going to be busy, a few ridge tiles came off the roof too so my Brother is going to repair that so not all bad thankfully.
Was speaking to the a national timber company this morning and between closing up on Thursday night and opening again Saturday morning they had sold all their stock of 3k fence posts online....god knows how many slats and panels on top of that!
I had a power cut down here in Wiltshire. Seems localised. Fair confused me when I came back from rugby (cancelled).
All back up and running. Hearing a tree down over power lines.
