Storm Dudley has found shore
Trendy Carol bustled up the lane earlier in a lovely brown woollen coat
And we waved as the blustery wind shook the both of us like twigs
The dogs and Albert have squeezed onto the trendy blue sofa like sardines
And I’ve turned off the tv and read Bob Mortimer’s autobiography as the wind screamed around the cottage walls .
I miss my fire and am happy it returns next week
I met my old friend Cheryl today , a psychotherapist as well as a friend
She centred me
…..naturally ….
The roar of the wind is worrying, but it will pass
About the only good thing about being deaf John - I take them out when I go to bed so don't hear a thing.
ReplyDeleteLol, good, for u …it’s wild tonight my old friend x
DeleteRoaring wind? Reduce your intake of baked beans.

Enjoy your evening indoors, cozy against the storm.
ReplyDeleteWe had terrible strong gusting winds all night. I was worried it would set my little very old Fuzzy Pom off and get him started with the continuous pacing around and around in the house, where he starts falling down from exhaustion after awhile. Our weather
ReplyDeletewas in the 50 degrees range yesterday but that gusting wind is trying to bring in cold winter weather again. Fuzzy is deaf,but I think he feels the house vibrating from the wind and smells all of the scents of wild animals and woods and fields and gets agitated about it. And maybe most of all,he senses that the gusts of winds hitting our house continuously for hours on end ,makes me nervous for some reason, and then the wind that pushes through a loose window we have that needs sealing sets my asthma off so I was coughing and up and down all night trying to stop coughing. It felt wonderful when the wind finally quit gusting just before dawn and the house was finally quiet, I quit coughing,Fuzzy could settle down and finally we slept. Until the wind started again mid morning.
I am looking forward to spring now.
dorothy is holding you down so you don't get blown away.
ReplyDeleteStay cozy inside as the winds roar outside. Hopefully there will not be much damage.
ReplyDeleteI like a good storm, until it stops electricity, ergo my CPAP...my best was 60 years ago, 1962, the 'Columbus Day Storm'...I was a sophomore in high school, visiting my mum on the Oregon coast. It marooned me for 6 days in her house, 10 miles up a dirt road from the town of Gold Beach. Huge firs tossed about, electricity out, etc. She had a neighbor about 100 meters away, the closest, who'd just come back from a hunting trip to Alaska and had a freezer full of moose. We at moose every meal over a campfire or campstove. Great fun for a 15 year old.
ReplyDeleteI have felt much more able to 'be' after being in the company of certain people-my relatives especially-but my saviour was my dad x
ReplyDeleteI see toes, stay warm
ReplyDeleteIt's wild out there on the tip of south west Scotland, blowing straight from the sea over my wee hoose; amber warnings and flood alerts for the region. I retired to bed early with Youtube and a bottle of sauvignon blanc :) Would be interested to know if the Bob book is worth a read, I like him :)
ReplyDeleteI detest really strong wind; ours arrives tomorrow, so they tell me.
ReplyDeleteStay warm.
ReplyDeleteAh, flannels and warm dogs to shelter together while the wild winds blow. I'd be wearing cozy socks with my flannels. Hope the trees stay up.
ReplyDeleteCheers that you'll soon have a safely working fire place!!
Hugs!
Your cottage has seen many strong winds, perhaps inside too.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean about the wind as I listened to that force upsetting my trash bin (fortunately empty) bang against my car one night a few weeks ago. The next morning I learned over 300 trees had been blown down in our town plus some havoc in adjoining towns, too. Only the second time in the almost 50 years I've lived here our city has had such high winds. I can imagine they might be more frequent now with climate change. Only time will tell.
ReplyDeleteIt's definitely a time to cuddle up indoors and wait for the storm to pass. Will be so good to have your fire back soon.
ReplyDeleteyes,know what you mean.Being a dog walker I go out in it every day.We are open to the full force of the wind coming down from St.Agnes Beacon hitting the back of the house.I too have been worried about damage as only just spent a very large amount of hard earned cash having work done.Stay safe, you and the gorgeous animals in your beautiful cottage.You sure,you don't want a Housekeeper LOL.xxx
ReplyDeleteI didn't know about Bob Mortimer's book. I will order it for my husband. He almost falls off his chair laughing whenever Bob is a guest on Would I Lie to You? (We've got tickets for a March recording!!)
ReplyDeleteWe had another roaring wind overnight. No storm. Just wind. So wonderful to have friends for centering.
ReplyDeleteStorm Dudley hasn't really hit here, but storm Eugene is supposed to hit us tonight. Time to batten down the hatches, methinks. You'll have to train Dorothy to lie on your feet to keep them warm. xx
ReplyDeleteIt's great to be inside on a stormy, windy night. (Especially with a bulldog leg warmer!)
