Storm Loris

[.db.]

Going to be nice in Manchester this afternoon, we’ll have seen the worst of what we’re going to get pass already by Midday.

Make sure you get some proper fisn n chips from the fish bar or the wee chippy, or both. Both top notch. Enjoy.

Chips at Anstruther fish bar top notch, fish a bit tough.

ANGUISH IN ANSTRUTHER

Just back from a trek round the Isle of Wight which made me hate buses forever, and reminded me just how ill I felt on the trip round the Fife coast this month. Only a short hop from Crail to Anstr…

We are in Anstruther on the Fife coast for a week, got here Saturday and the weather has been brilliant but the storm is going to hit mid morning on Monday, and the locals are worried so they must think it's going to be bad, our Airbnb has got brilliant views of the sea and the coast, so fingers crossed it's not going to be as bad as they reckon

Its a westerly mate. It won't be blowing off the sea - you should be ok

We're all going to die, simple as, no fucking about, meet thy maker. I blame Facebook.

I can remember when storms just happened without warning and we just got on with it. They didn’t have names in those days either.

I'm banned from Facebook for life apparently? Because I breached their advertising standards, even though i haven't ever Advertised or sold anything on there ever

You should have thought about that before you breached their advertising standards.

It's a beautiful drive




Unless there's a storm warning. I went to Edinburgh every August for years for the entire month and swear it pissed down every year. Rarely remember sunshine

You were a bit unlucky although August isn't a particularly dry month Edinburgh isn't the wettest place by any means and is certainly drier than Manchester.

Had to smile at the BBC report from a caravan park in St Helens where "holiday makers" are taking precautions ;-)

That's no ucking use.

Happy memories of Fife. I spent a year at Dundee University which was fantastic, but I'm not sure my liver would've lasted another year. One of the reasons was that we'd organise 'Drink a pub dry' nights, where we'd descend mob-handed in 3 coaches on a small and unsuspecting pub in Fife on a quiet weekday night and do our best to drink it dry.

Never forget the football result
Forfar four, East Fife five

We had it overnight here on the west of Ireland. Wind and rain from around 10 or 11 last night, til around 6 this morning, when the rain stopped. Still fairly blowy, but I've seen far worse. Didn't even lose the power, which does normally go when we have storms.

I’m in a tent near Helmsley. We were swimming in the outdoor pool at 1900 last night. We’ll be swimming out of this site today if the rain carry’s on.

I think it was ‘East Fife four, Forfar five’ in a penalty shootout.

We’re starting to get a bit of a battering on the East Lothian riviera - but nothing too spectacular just yet.

Trains are likely to get pulled pretty soon though and glad I’m not sat on the top deck of the 26 bus just now.

Though I’m continually grateful not to be on the 26.

No sunshine up there then?

Getting a bit tasty here, Cat wont go out so I know it's going to get worse. Saying that I am not exactly building dry stone walls so it wont affect me in the slightest.

I can remember when storms just happened without warning and we just got on with it. They didn’t have names in those days either.

That was because we had butter on bread, rather than olive oil.

Once again just because it's going to be (shock, horror) pissing down and windy for a couple of days the met office has given it a daft girls name and we are all meant to shit our collective pants.
We could do with a couple of weeks of it really to top up the reservoirs.
