    I wouldn't be suprised if many people have toppled wheelie bins by dawn.

    No good if too windy, it's like hares and their hind legs, no good for running downhill

    Bring them into the bedroom, they will get lonely in the sitting room.

    I'm huddled in my wattle shelter shrouded by potato sacks, drinking fermented mead telling the ten children stories while we listen to the gale force winds howl outside. Ain't life grand.

    Sounds like an Americans idea of an Irish hotel... Sure we'll stop off at the nearest b&b when we get to the ring if kerry.

    It's been really windy here, I've barely had a wink of sleep and our cats hate the noise of the wind, then again it has been making some scary noises.

    My willow tree blew over AGAIN and my neighbours shed seems to have broken its mooring and is making shyte of their fence.
    And still I thought it'd be a good morning to get up early to run. Such a spa.

    I cycled in to work. It wasn't extremely windy but it still wasn't an easy cycle. I hope it gets a bit stronger later because it'll be pushing me all the way home.
