I’ve reached level 2 on trampoline disassembly... it was looking dodgy there for a minute.

I put an add up selling a trampoline on the serious weather forum thinking I was on this one.they took it down.
Needless to say the serious weather heads didn’t approve.theyre getting fierce excited.

Definitely not used to the southerly winds here in macroom it's getting wild & rain coming down hard now. Hard to believe it's not peaking for another 4/5hrs. Wind whistling now

I'm not taking this at all seriously, maybe I should but it just feels like it'll be nothing more than a standard issue windy night with rain.

You make it sound so cosy! I'm really just looking forward to another night in bed listening to some wind and rain. Midlands.

Still calm here in co kk. As expected. No rain yet either. Although the big tree at the end of the garden is starting to rustle slightly. The anticipation! I'm loving the updates.

I can’t tell the difference between the two forums.got a bollocking for offering the real weather heads a trampoline for sale.was throwing in a half bag of borrowed beach sand to weigh her down and all to sweeten the deal.
Two titles are the same.

Andy From Sligo
