I’m not imagining it. Awful here.

It got going with a very determined gust at 0615, and has been wuthering ever since, sometimes more, sometimes less. According to the BBC the gust speeds here during the next couple of hours will be higher than in Bristol, Cardiff, Hereford, Manchester, Dartmouth, or Looe.
Gus on the other hand has it almost as bad as we do. And Carinthia will have much the same as us, only a couple of hours later.

Made me laugh, too.
DS is stuck at Kings Cross…Our weather is better than it has been for days. We’ll see. The cheeky fencing chappies have dismantled our shared fence, while the flying buttresses remain in situ on the other one.

Oooof. It seems to be tailing off a bit now.
If you hear a faint cackling between gusts, that’s me re the O2. Serve it right.

It is a horrid thing built on the cheap, never intended to last more than a year or two. I’m quite surprised it hasn’t fallen down and killed someone yet.

Eunice wasn’t trying. Only six panels? Tsk.

The wind speed has picked up, but is nothing out of the ordinary. DS is on a train, heading northwards. He’d been advised that it would take 7 hours, travelling at 50 mph, but it’s at a standstill because of a tree on the tracks. I had advised him that travelling to the red zone was unwise and he felt he had to do this, because of his job. So, there we are. Oh - I foresee fence wars. More when I know more.
O2? Horrible and even more so now. It’s an ill wind, as they say.

Oh dear: poor DS. And the rumours of fence war sound ominous.
Quite apart from its intrinsic hideousness, the O2 always reminds me of that grinning jackanapes Blair, which does not endear it to me.

A perfect moniker for one of the aggressors in fence wars. I shall do my best to further mediate.

That good, I hope it stays that way for you. It didn’t come to much here, I didn’t spot a wind speed over 40mph at any point.
The worst here in recent years, I think, was Ophelia, in late 2017. Eunice never sounded to me like a proper storm, Ophelia was a much better storm name, suitably dramatic sounding. Not long after Ophelia we were warned about storm Brian, which just sounded silly, and it turned out to be nothing much - not really a storm, just a very naughty boy.

LOL!
Dudley and Eunice just sound namby-pamby and wet - but not monsoon-like. Ugh. Did I tell you that my latest sponsored guide dog is called Derek? They should have asked me, first.
Mr Bee is looking forward to dinner - cauli ‘steaks’, falafels, onion petals (not the blooming sort) and raitha with pomegranate seeds. He’s talking with his bro’, just now, so must starve.

Now we have hail. And more wind, just in case we were missing it.

It seems to me that your Ma has had fearsome weather stuff, Gus. I hope that she’s coping.
