Batten down the hatches, again

90mph wind predicted for friday and heavy rain, this is the second 90mph storm in as many months, we've only just recovered from the last one. Holyhead port only partially reopened this week after being almost destroyed by the last one.

I feel I'm getting a bit blase, when I see the winds will only be 40mph, it wasn't that long ago that 40mph winds were a once a year thing, maybe twice a year in the Scottish Highlands and Islands.

So it hits us friday night, I've got the candles ready and the xmas tree lights and batteries, so hopefully I'll see you all as usual on saturday, but if not then you'll know we've got no power!

  • I turned the Emergency Alert notification off on my phone. I know it might be necessary but I can’t cope with sudden loud noises and the possibility of it going off at an unknown time is too much to bear. I was in Lithuania a few years ago when the alert on my phone first went off. I wouldn’t be able to cope with that noise again.
