More Stormy weather

I’m pleased to report that we still have our anemometer despite last week’s storm.  We were very lucky compared to other areas, even islands south of here, in that the Personal Weather Station (PWS) showed the highest gust as being only 67mph.  That’s just a puff of a breeze compared to what we usually get thrashed with.

This week we are in for another hammering by high winds and lashing rains. At the moment the barometer is falling so fast (951.4hPa) I’ll be flat as a pancake before the day is out.  The house is objecting fiercely when the gusts hit by creaking loudly and somewhat alarmingly.  No ‘Chopsticks’ being played on the roof tiles- perhaps that’s a treat for later in the day or week. Yeah, we’ve got  few storms waiting in the wings.

The ferry runs are all over the place again with a plethora of delays, rescheduled times or complete cancellations.

All I want to do is hibernate under my cosy quilt.  But I have to brave it up to the Bubble and make several family/friend presents.  Should have started on them last week, but had a severe lack of oomph.  With the frequency of storms we’re not enjoying at the moment, power cuts are not unfamiliar side effects, so I better get moving as some leccy is needed for part of the designs.  The rest is just painting.

Oh, Bubble had a Baby Bubble – had to, to accommodate the overflow.  It’s very compact and bijou, but holds the big and baby cutting machines, with plenty room to let printed images dry off without having to move them to find something.  There’s a great danger of the main Bubble getting tidied, but the creating has to take precedence at the moment. (Any excuse lol)

Happy Crafting  :) Susan

P.S. Well, it looks as if we're rapidly heading to the centre of the Low, which, according to the Met Office is sitting at 943.  Currently we're at 948.6hPa. Wonder what it will be like trying to type when I'm flat as a piece of paper haha :)

Well, the Low crept ever lower over here.
