Eunice is approaching and a calm morning is becoming a blustery afternoon.
My laburnum sapling in the churchyard remains steadfast against the stormy weather but the dead ash trees on the field borders have taken a bashing last night.
Today another weather warning has been made.
The coast road to work will be an interesting drive later.
It’s been a nothing sort of day, I met my sister in law for lunch and have just planted out some miniature cyclamen on the patio shelving.
That’s all I’ve done.
She once remarked to a patient who had a gunshot wound scar in his chest that she thought he had a extra nipple
I have a madcap co-worker named Eunice as well! LOL! Good luck in the high winds!
ReplyDeleteIt's funny what sticks in the memory, isn't it?! Loved your mental association of "Eunice" the storm with Eunice the nurse and her long ago remark.
ReplyDeleteHope the wind isn't such that driving the coast road is perilous.
Hugs!
Storm winds can cause disruption and damage. Be very careful driving as roads carry peril in the storm. Tomorrow we are to get rains and high winds with warnings of power outages. I'm happy it's not more snow. 60 degrees feels balmy today.
ReplyDeleteEunice and Dudley, they sound like a real Brummie windy couple don't they.
ReplyDeleteTravel safe, Alan is heading back up the motorway tonight after a treacherous journey yesterday.
We knew a woman named Eunice. A farmer from Iowa. NOTHING madcap about her.
ReplyDeleteStay safe on your drive to and from work. Glad the sapling is surviving the storms. They do say saplings bend with the wind, it's older trees that tend to get damaged. xx
ReplyDeleteI had a cousin named Eunice. She was so tightly wound you could practically hear a high-pitched hum coming off her.
ReplyDelete"This is a person called Eunice????" (Barbara Streisand in "What's up Doc?"
ReplyDeletePlease go careful,don't want to lose you.You are such a tonic to me.You make me LOL.And of course I adore the animals,did I mention I Love your cottage !!! x
ReplyDeleteBatten down the hatches John. Hope the journey to work is good. Take great care. And safe home after your shift.Thinking about you. Jo in Coventry x
ReplyDeleteBe careful out there in Bluebell won’t you John ? 🚙 XXXX
ReplyDeleteDudley and Eunice, what a pair!
ReplyDeleteGive yourself plenty of time to drive in to work today...
This time of year the weather seems to go from one extreme to another. Today started out at 48 degrees, tonight we are getting 5 to 10 inches of snow.
ReplyDeleteI notice in the previous post you still do not have cozy sheepskin slippers or wooly socks! Bare feet in February storms! bbbrrrr....
ReplyDeleteThe cyclamen are beautiful.
Give those cyclamen tlc tonight or Eunice will not be kind to them
ReplyDeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteThe UK has certainly had some interesting names for their Winter storms!
ReplyDeleteWe are currently under a storm warning - it has been just above freezing the past couple of days so all the piles of snow have been melting - the ice on the river next door has broken up and formed giant piles - quite spectacular to see - but the river has now backed up and has flooded the conservation area paths and car parks and has ended the current construction going on along the river at the moment.
The temps are to drop by late afternoon so the rain will turn to freezing rain, followed by about another 15 to 20CM of snow tomorrow - I'm working from home! Take care driving!
Wasn't Eunice the solo sheep who lived in your field for a while?

DeleteOne day there will be a weather event called Storm John. I wonder what it will be like - a gentle breeze or an angry hurricane that devastates the landscape?
ReplyDeleteTighten your bra straps. Take up whatever slack you have in your corset.
ReplyDeleteBe careful, have fun
ReplyDeleteIt is 4.40 am as I write, and we are told to expect Eunice at 5 am. Still no sign.
ReplyDeleteThe cyclamen look cheerful. I hope they escape the wind damage.
ReplyDeleteSafe journeys during the storm. To you and all who have no choice about going out in it.
