Eunice

 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.


I once worked with a mad cap Irish nurse called Eunice 
She once remarked to a patient who had a gunshot wound scar in his chest that she thought he had a extra nipple

    It'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.
    Hope the wind isn't such that driving the coast road is perilous.

    Hugs!

  3. 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.

  4. Eunice and Dudley, they sound like a real Brummie windy couple don't they.

    Travel safe, Alan is heading back up the motorway tonight after a treacherous journey yesterday.

  5. We knew a woman named Eunice. A farmer from Iowa. NOTHING madcap about her.

  6. Stay 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

  7. I had a cousin named Eunice. She was so tightly wound you could practically hear a high-pitched hum coming off her.

  13. 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.

  16. The UK has certainly had some interesting names for their Winter storms!
    We 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!

  17. Wasn't Eunice the solo sheep who lived in your field for a while?

  18. One 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?

  19. Tighten your bra straps. Take up whatever slack you have in your corset.

  21. It is 4.40 am as I write, and we are told to expect Eunice at 5 am. Still no sign.

  22. The cyclamen look cheerful. I hope they escape the wind damage.

    Safe journeys during the storm. To you and all who have no choice about going out in it.
