The weather here in F ife has been gradually getting worse. We have high winds, snow showers and sleet after downpours of rain yesterday. Had to cancel an outing for this afternoon and many other events scheduled for today are being also being cancelled according to what I am reading on line. Will stay indoors until the weather improves.

Just a follow on from this mornings weather.

Throughout the day we have had everything thrown at us; heavy snow falls, sunshine, heavy hail storm, strong winds and just recently, thunder. Would be nice to think we are getting this all over and done with in one day but I doubt it????⚡️?☃️❄️

Stay safe everyone. It’s almost spring??

Morning everyone from a very blustery mid - Notts. At least the rain has stopped and the flooding on our back garden abated a little!! I'm about to go and get my roots done at the hairdressers and looking at my hair this morning I think I'm rather overdue!! Wishing everyone the best day possible x

Marydoll Mon 10-Feb-20 11:31:23

Home safe and sound, after driving in a blizzard! Phew!!!

Good morning
From a very windy but clear day in Merseyside. I’m off this morning across the Mersey to go up St Johns beacon in Liverpool for a scream at the top of my lungs (just for fun)

stjohnsbeacon.co.uk/

It’s home to Radio city but has an amazing viewing tower with views over the Wirral and Liverpool bay
Check it out if you are ever in the area

Good Morning All x
Still breezy here with sudden gusts just as you think it's calmed down. It's gone noticeably colder too feeling more so because of the wind so home-made chicken soup will be the order of the day to keep the cold out.

I doubt I'll be going very far today, I don't need anything anyway in the groceries department. Have some ironing to do so that'll pass an hour or so.

Glad there's an all-clear from the lump Dragonfly, sometimes these things happen and other times they don't, our bodies are funny things at times.
I feel for Gillybob xx as I had over 5 years of that, nursing a sick H and working at the same time as well as having the GC at weekends ( my time off ! ) it takes its toll.

Anyone else who's not so good, keep warm, especially Marydoll " up there " in the far North. Hope there hasn't been too much damage after those gales.
Enjoy the day as best you can.

Goodmorning Mick and all x

Blue sky and sunny here in SE Essex.

Have just cancelled my gym session as I have woken up feeling "odd" just very tired and a bit discombobulat. Mind you we have had a very busy weekend.

Happy Anniversary Scentia

Snowing here in the north of Scotland. I have just cancelled going out for lunch. Tomorrow is another day. Going to have a clear out of clothes I never wear as I have decide to admit I will not be slim again. This is definitely a broth day - soup is such a comfort food. marydoll What a disappointment. You need coffee and cake. gillybob You deserve a medal and your DH deserves his operation. Have the best day you can everyone.

Morning all from a cold and drizzly NE. Managed to get home all right Saturday night, rain just starting, and glad we got home when we did as we would have been very wet, and yesterday it rained off and on all day. Hope everyone who isn't feeling well gets better soon.

Kalu Mon 10-Feb-20 09:34:09

Good morning from Glasgow. A very heavy sky and it’s snowing here too Marydoll

Thankfully we left Perthshire yesterday before conditions worsened. Noticed a few speedy twits and motorists with no lights on. DH’s appointment was cancelled so we are staying put. Plan to watch last two episodes of The Stranger on Netflix a good series of suspense.

Pleased to hear your aches have gone Dragonfly just hoping your sore arm quickly shows signs of beginning to resolve on its own.

Best wishes to all and stay safe, preferably with no need to venture out. A better day to all who have struggles and illness to bear.

Happy Anniversary Scentia. That is a card to be treasured.

How annoying Marydoll. It means you will have to do it all again when he gets back from the hotspots in Amsterdam.

So sorry your DH is suffering so badly Gilly. It must seem a long time until 24th.

Yes that was quite a hailstorm kitty!

I have rung the hospital and unless the lump gets hot and swollen they don’t seem too worried - Phew!

Nannytopsy Mon 10-Feb-20 09:29:14

Good morning Mick and all his followers.
It’s a beautiful morning here in Suffolk after last night‘s stunning full moon but still very blowy. Shopping and ironing today. We shall find out if there are any trees down.
Hope you got home safely from your wasted journey Marydoll.
Hope everyone has a good day

Good morning from a sunny cold Essex. Looking outside it doesn't seem possible that the storm was here yesterday! My DGSs had a sleepover on Sat night and we were waiting for the storm. DGS1 was very disappointed that his football match was cancelled. Think we got away lightly in Essex and only had a few watering cans etc blown around. Was a bit worried to look outside but now relieved. A tidying and sorting day for me today and will stay warm at home. Hope everyone has a good day xxx

Beechnut Mon 10-Feb-20 09:20:25

Happy Anniversary Scentia. How lovely your DH made your first card.

moggie Mon 10-Feb-20 09:16:29

Thoughts with gillybob, Dragonfly, Marydoll & all not well or struggling.
Have a good day everyone.

GrannySomerset Mon 10-Feb-20 09:15:25

Like so many of us we had a very wild day and night but this morning all is calm and even quite bright. No obvious damage and even the back fence is still standing, which is more than might have been expected.

Admin day today and hoping that our many struggling GNers have a better day. Spring feels a long way off though I have just spotted the first daffodils in the garden.

kittylester Mon 10-Feb-20 09:13:52

Sending you (hugs) gillybob.

I've just come back to report sleet in North Leicestershire!

Good morning from Staffs too Scentia-happy anniversary. Sorry to hear the sick list troubles.
Glad to hear Mumofmadboys had a good weekend in Glencoe-safe journey home!
Was receiving FB messages from my French Goddaughter yesterday; electricity down for a while. As here in Staffs too!
Looks a decent day now; hope everyone has as good a day as possible.

Good morning from the North East coast where we have had another very windy night .

Apologies for going AWOL yesterday but I had little Evie over night on Saturday and all day yesterday . It was a horrible day and we only managed about 20 minutes of fresh air when I took her puddle jumping to the local shop....more for something to do than because we needed anything .

DH is as poorly as ever and spending more and more time in bed which seems to be the only place he can get any relief from the pain. Plus the painkillers he is taking are making him drowsy and grumpy too.

Another thrilling Monday means I am off to “that place” as soon as I can get DH sorted and downstairs which doesn’t look like any time soon .

Thinking of those feeling poorly or under the weather and hoping for some much needed sunshine soon.

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from sunny Colchester. The strong wind is set in here until tomorrow evening according to the forecast but it has blown the clouds away!
Walking Netball this morning.

Good morning Auntyflo and all x

NumNum Mon 10-Feb-20 08:54:54

Scentia well that just makes it even more special smile

Lucky you to have a lovely thoughtful OH like that !!!

I hope you're on the mend now (flowers)

Good morning Michael, Annie to come and all others.
As far as I can see, we have had no storm damage, but we got very wet yesterday, just getting into and out of the car. The roads were swimming, but it doesn't take much for that to happen hereabouts.
Marydoll, take care in the snow, I know you said you had to go out for a hospital appointment.
Happy anniversary Scentia, what a lovely surprise to receive a handmade card.
Dragonfly, hope your arm gets sorted out quickly.
I hope the Gillybobs are OK, as I didn't read an update yesterday.
Earlier this morning, there was a beautiful full moon over the houses opposite, it's gone now, but I Wish I had taken a photo.
I have a friend coming latter for a good catch up over coffee, which may morph into lunch. It will be lovely to see her as she has been very poorly for weeks.
Have a good day one and all.

Marydoll Mon 10-Feb-20 08:46:20

After an hour of driving, got phone call in a traffic jam, cancelling my appointment. ?
The person I'm seeing is stuck in Amsterdam.
I wonder what he has been up to. ?

Good Morning from Bristol, a wild day yesterday and a very wild night but all looks calm this morning with just a little wind .
Happy Anniversary Scentia
I hope everyone has a good day.
