Tuesday

No, I refuse to contemplate today's vote and everything to do with it.   It is all so awful it is best just not to imagine what or what might not happen.

So let's contemplate the weather instead.   I believe it is the Irish who have christened the coming storm by the good old Welsh name of Gareth.   For a while this afternoon the rain stopped and the sun came out and indoors it was very pleasant - but the wind began to rise and outside it was a different story.   Now, at seven in the evening, it is rainy/windy/stormy.   Yes, Gareth,you are making your presence felt. So batten down the hatches.

Careth must have hit us earlier as it is now calm and gone. I got very wet and cold at 1.30pm this afternoon when I got off the train and the rain and wind reached its peak at the same moment and I had to walk to class in it and then sit for two hours in wet clothes. I am now warm and dry. The clothes and shoes are drying on the radiator.

Earlier todau we had lovely bright, sunny weather but now that evening has fallen it is pretty wild out there. Luckily(?) I am quite hard of hearing so cannot hear the sound of the gale force gusts howling around the house and it is now too dark to see the trees whipping around in the wind. Just so long as the roof stays in place we shall be fine.

I went primary school with Gareth.

If they ever get to Llewellyn they won't know how to say it on Yorkshire TV weather!

It didn't look too bad this morning so I walked into town, but on the way back I got soaked. Tomorrow is supposed to be worse so I hope my trip by car with my son, to buy a new vacuum cleaner, will not mean another soaking. I don't care whether Gareth came from Wales or Ireland, but I wish he would clear off!

No doubt all the amateur politicians will be on their blogs now, giving us their "expert" opinions on Brexit.
We had the very heavy rain and hailstones here this afternoon but fortunately not the severe gales. One thing's for sure, there's no shortage of water here this winter.

I live in the United States where chaos reigns so to criticize would be the pot calling the kettle black.

I don't understand Brexit and not much coverage is provided in the US. United Kingdom voters voted to exit the European Union. Why did they join the EU in the first place, what was the incentive to do so? Prime Minster Theresa May wants to stay in the EU but a vote in Parliament today will force the exit whether she likes it or not. When all is said and done, she might be brought down.

I've probably got all of this wrong.

I was thinking, that's a lot of names to use up so far this year, but G is only seven, or three per month, so far. Well, three is a lot, too.

Your weather seems to be affecting our TV satellite picture. I'm not complaining.

If I hear that B word once more I shall scream, what are they doing? how on earth can we have faith in them I ask myself.

well I went to the gardening club this afternoon, the winds had finally settled to a less turbulent affair and the sun shone brightly.

Neither the politicians nor the weather look much brighter today!

It has been a lovely bright day here today and the wind has lessened as the day has gone on
JayCee - I agree about hearing - oncer I take my hearing aids out I don't hear the gale blowing.
Gwil - Your comment made me laugh!

Thanks everyone.
