    The weather!

    Not climate but weather. Weather is changing like the climate.

    Never seen anything like this last 15 days - continuous gales and heavy rain. In past years a storm (with a fancy name from the UK or Ireland) swept over for 3-4 days; some damage; a few days of news reports; then gone.

    This time it just won't move - even though various weather and news reports say it headed for Denmark last week - it didn't. Still blowing at 45 mph now (and it has died down).

    Now lost 7 fence panels and 3 fence posts and anything not nailed down outside. The carnage in the neighbours gardens is worse.

    At least it blew us 3 points yesterday - so not all bad!

    Maybe in the depths of Windystan in Googleshire where the gales blow for 3 months solid.

    But not in South Yorkshire. Never seen winds like these.

    Things are changing - and not for the better!

    Don't start me on rain and flooding or I might have to switch back from weather to climate. You know what happens then!

    Climate doesn't exist.

    Not put the radiators on first thing in the morning on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Ridiculous!

    I woke up at 05.45, forgot to turn my weekday alarm off, had a wazz and turned heating on, still got it on but she's doing stuff in the kitchen and moaning it's a bit warm I'll probably turn it off when I get up.

    Lit a log fire last evening for atmosphere....not needed. Today was supposed to be misty and cloudy which I thought Great!!! Turns out a lovely sunny day - ok for shirtsleeves...no fire today!
    My job is to cook the dinner...apart from the meat (which I don't eat...)...so roast potatoes and parsnips all par boiled and ready to go in 30 mins.....Salmon en Croute for me......Glad tidings to all and sundry, wherever you are in this world.

    Over 30 years or more, maybe.

    Despite my moaning I am confident the wind will drop before 2053!

    “shaping the narrative”? They are reporting facts, I’ve never known a Christmas where I’ve not bothered having the radiators for hours on end during the day like I have this year and because I’m a pensioner,I can remember stacks of Christmases.

    I don't think we ever had the radiators on until I was around 25.

    When I was a lad a day like today would have been described as wet and windy. Nowadays it has to be called a STORM for extra dramatic effect!

    It’s so mild, he probably thinks it’s March.
