aah-ahhh! [strokes his hand] You have a woman’s hand, milord!
I’ll wager these dainty pinkies never weighed anchor
in a storm.ha ha. -Aah! Your skin milord. I’ll wager it ne’er
felt the lash of a cat [‘o’ nine tails], been rubbed
with salt, and then flayed off by a pirate chief to make
fine stockings for his best cabin boy.
Aah! You have a woman’s purse! [takes it from him and
examines it daintily] I’ll wager that purse has never been
used as a rowing-boat. I’ll wager it’s never had sixteen
shipwrecked mariners tossing in it.

I have no idea what all that was about but it made me laugh.

They say there has been 3 storms in one week so
A) Why dont they call it one big storm and stop being girly about it and
B) When does one storm finish and the other begin.

I'm curious.

It'sthe kids of today, no attention span. If it kicks off in Ukraine it'll have to be reported a several battles over 90 mins most rather than a war, otherwise its over to Netflix ;)
 
Just opened my bedroom curtains to see a big hole where a 6' x 6' fence panel used to be.
It's now resting, a bit worse for wear, on my back rockery.
My new next door neighbour has had his back fencing renewed a couple of months ago, so I'll ask him for the number of the guy who did it.
A good start to the day.

Because they are formed in different areas although in close proximity(dudley from the north eunice from the west) also one is just cyclonic, another is cyclonic and tornadic.

Franklin like dudley is tonadic and cyclonic but one eneded a day befor the other one formed and eunice has spanned both of them.
 
Days like today is when I appreciate having communal eurobins in the entry, had several post on a group about wheely bins gone over or up the street leaving a mess to clean up
 
Two fence panels and a gate post have been ripped out at mine. Luckily on the garden floor now and didn’t smash into the windows or me

Looks like it's finally blowing itself out over here. Wind has dropped considerably over the last 90 minutes or so.

That's because you are in the back of beyond!! Still blowing a hooley here in Eccles.






When I was a kid our coalman (ask your Mum or Dad or even your grandparents!) was called Hooley!! Just to make you smile on a tough morning. :-)
