Bye 'eck but what a storm that was
That has just passed us by
Clouds kept rolling rolling past
In that dark and gloomy sky
The rain was just like stairs rods
Horizontal like they sit
Makes seeing very difficult
When the wind-screen wipers quit
But I'm here in my Aygo
Cosy as can be
On my way to a luncheon date
At a local pub you see
Midge usually likes these trips out
When we go on a roam.
But this time and I don't know why
She decided to stay at home!
Perhaps Midge stayed at home because he had the wind up. 😁😁😁👍👍
Excellent as always Don. Hope you’ve had a lovely day in spite of the weather. Xxxx😘
I dont blame her. Brave of you Don, to brace yourself to go out to lunch. Lots of trees have blown down in the village where I live. I hope the wind eases tonight. Keep warm, keep well and give your little Midge a cwtch in case she's afraid of the wind. Chrys
We are quite sheltered here with no big rivers running through and the sea well contained. I’m only just realising how bad it was, and still is, around the country.
Obviously a very sensible dog!
Scruff's is pacing up and down she wants to go outside
Perhaps a toilet call that all cats like to hide
Better she wisely thinks i wait a while instead
And then she just forgets that call and sleeps on her slaves bed
The moral of the story is that unless you really need to go
There is always the litter tray or other places Ski's don't know. 
😂 Scruff, the cat with character 😺and her rhyming slave. 😀
Midge is such a clever girl. xx 😊
Your Chom is looking very Royal in your avatar. 🙂xx
A wise move by Midge 🐕 The storm is due to continue today and tomorrow here, in fact it looks like it's going to be even windier. I hope you both got through it all ok (and you had a good lunch) 🍝
We tend to miss the worst effects of storms in this area HH you must be getting much worse up there. I can’t believe how much time the BBC news is giving to back slapping celebrities (?) when I’m trying to see just how bad it has been around the country. 🙄 I did enjoy my lunch, thank you, I don’t get to see my daughter as often as would like. Stay safe.
Morning Don,Hope Midge is ok and managed to go for a wee. So glad you enjoyed your Meal & getting to see your Daughter. The wind here(Midlands) has lessened, but this Morning when Looking out side My Lovely Heavy Wooden Bird Table is at the end of the Garden along with The Wheely Bins. Yesterday afternoon the Big Glass patio Table had Blown over, no Glass broken, All the Saved Potted Plants(on the Table) where strewn amongst the Compost, which became slimey Mud with the Heavy Rain. Though the temperature has not been Cold. Just a Windy Time for All, Have a Good Monday Don & Midge. Hugs. C. XXX
I'm lucky again there too. Last month I had the fence on one side of my garden replaced, 25 panels which cost me a fortune and I had been moaning about, until that storm hit. Not a bit of damage out there. 😊x
Stay well & safe Both of you. Think it's gone ? xxx
She’s very wise Don, hope you enjoyed your treat🍺
Yes, I sometimes think I could learn from her. 🤣 I did enjoy my lunch thanks, Whitby scampi always bring back happy memories there, but have to miss out on the 🍺 now.
Don. Whitby scampi .
I can buy those in my local Sainsburys but it is not the same as eating them in Whitby. Lovely place . My parents lived there in retirement and my sister does still, bkut cant do the long haul on M62 from west to east any more.
You have a very wise friend there Don, I am sure Midge enjoyed her snooze at home. Good to hear that you had a nice lunch out with your daughter.
One of my neighbours has a huge conifer crash onto his roof yesterday morning and I havent slept a wink worrying about the other two coming down, the winds are still very strong here at the moment, never known them to last so long x
I do hope they hold, there's been a tremendous amount of damage around the country, I didn't realise how bad it was until the news this morning, here in my sheltered spot. x
Midge is one wise dog. 🤔
Clever girl midge - much better inside than braving the storm.
Sensible little dog.
