The boring thread.....

[Scrumpy]

Keep warm Alex... I hope there is someone nearby who will drop off things you may need.. but only at the front door..

Meanwhile, I have to reflect upon my wife's logic.  One of the clothes washing liquid pouches had split in the plastic carton, so she decided to take the rest of them out and wash them clean in warm water.  Luckily she stopped as soon as I explained to her that the pouches were designed to dissolve in warm water🤣🤣🤣🥹

The quick workings of a woman's mind.. Bloody brilliant...

I have been binge watching my old heart throb tonight,  Neil Diamond, in his early Sweet Caroline days.
He is 84 today, bless him.

I still love his old songs,  his lovely old gravelly voice,  his gentleness, those eyes, and that little smile.

Oooh,  I've come over all funny.    He still makes me melt.      

[Scrumpy]

The series CHEERS  when Kirsty Ally was part of the team always cheers me up..
And , of course... Del Boy.. The best.

Yes I saw that on my FB Feed. He looks well. My drool over guy was Alan Clarke the Hollies singer.

I see another storm is forecast -  Storm Herminia.   
Sunday till around Tuesday I believe.
Heavy rain and more gales.  


Just out of curiosity,  who names these storms,  does anyone know?

[Raven]

WHAT? NOOOOOOO not again. We have to go down to Perth and sort out my house, seems there's a bit of damage. Greenhouse, fences back n front, tiles off the roof. Also Danny's Tree needs some branches lopping off.  That was one phone call from my son I could have done without.

Oh no.   That doesn't sound too good, does it.

I bet the insurance firms are sick to death of all the claims.

Best of luck,  safe journey.

Thanks, not going on my own this time, if the roads too hairy himself can drive.

How do the met office name storms

The UK Met Office names storms to help raise awareness of potentially severe weather and reduce the impact of storms. They follow a list of names that are chosen in advance for each year, with both male and female names used. The names are generally selected in alphabetical order, and the list is a collaboration between the Met Office and national meteorological services across Ireland, the Netherlands, and Belgium.

Storms are named when they are expected to cause "medium or high" impact weather, such as strong winds, heavy rain, or snow. The public can also suggest names for future storms, and the names are typically chosen based on their ease of pronunciation and familiarity. 

Naming storms helps to increase awareness and preparedness, making it easier for people to follow weather warnings and take necessary precautions.

He was worth a drool.  I saw the Hollies in Dundee in the early 60s.  Sunday night Top Ten Club at the Palais.   

Hope not too much storm damage Raven.

Ugh, how awful.

That really made me laugh! 😆

Oh Raven... How horrible for you..
 And there was me worrying about the bins being tipped over..

Good morning to all.  
I've just made a mug of tea,  do you want one? 

[dextrous63]

Yes please Mups.
I showed my cats the photo of your dogs being forced to wear hats and after giggling, they suggested that I actually report you to the RSPCA.  I need a cuppa to help decide.
