QuoteI don't have any intention of going - the forecast looks horrible

That hasn't stopped you before  ;)

Yeah i'd like to go, as it's been a while. But that wind looks mad. Rain is bearable in a tentm, but high winds are not at all pleasant.

Oh well, weather slightly improved on the wet front but winds still in excess of 30 mph.

Still cloudy wet and windy, a weekend of sulking in front of the TV is called for - with perhaps the comfort of beer.

I take it no one is actually going to go to either site?

The wind looks a bit OTT on Metoblue unless your flying kites (40kph). But if you look on Apanel it says moderate. Any on the spot weather reports?

mickw

I spoke to Chris, he said the wind was howling.  :o

I take that to mean it was a bit breezy  :-?

well the trampoline has moved to the other side of the garden.

Have not checked the pod though.

Decided to have a bonfire tonight to burn a load of rubbish generated by clearing the loft in preparation for the house-move.  Cooked a few sausages and burgers and watched Orion appear from time to time between the gaps in the fast moving clouds.

I think I'm pining for DSC!

We're still going for the original house.  We revisited and found somewhere we can site an observatory.

Chain above us is ready to exchange.  We're just waiting for our buyers to be ready.
