It appears that things are going to get rather breezy in the south tonight, pressure is dropping rapidly judging by this bouy off Cornwall

So as we're in for what Sky News are classing a Super Storm, spare a thought for the brave RNLI crew searching for a teenager swept into the sea at Newhaven.

You do have to wonder about the sense of swimming in the sea off the South Coast in the prevailing situation.

And there were apparently swimmers on the beach at Brighton earlier this morning. The worst of the storm may have passed Brighton by then but, especially given what happened here last night, you have to question their sanity.

:-)) The worst thing is that they risk the lives of others trying to save them,some people just don't think it will happen to them but one day it will,seems the storm has past us and it is rather carm,Ray. :-)) :-)) :-))

Is that why in their infinite wisdom, Channel 4 put "The Perfect Storm" on to the TV last night %% {:-{ {:-{ {:-{

But it's their right to act like numpties. This is what the emergency services practice for. %) They're trying to refill the Gene pool.

Now you all know how I felt in the Falklands, now you just need the sub zero temperatures to go with it then you will have the full South Atlantic and Antarctic experience! {-)

No, we need the penguins!

With the exception of the unfortunates who were seriously damaged by the storm what a Media Pantomime. Lets face it if it had not been forecast for the southeast as well it would not have had half the hype ,BBC running around in a chopper showing what? no trains running Wow . Some Idiot who left a Marquee up and LONDON got in on the act a Bloody crane got blown over Hmmm!,though maybe Cameron got the SAS to arrange that just to make sure
-
Well not sure what its like over there but we have had lots of sun over here in Dieppe, trouble is our ferry is over there at Newhaven and it seems they don't want to sail....French happy to, but no ferry (there is only one) So stuck here for the moment %%
Still I'm sure I will be back for the Boat Show :-))

:-)) Don't stay too long in France Phil I hear all that French food is not good for the waist line,Ray. :-)) :-)) :-))
-
...right, swept up the two leaves that blew into the drive. Was worried I might not get the car out, hopefully we don't get any of those big 1/2 " snow drifts, would really impede the 5 minute walk to work. {-)

5 hours to get from Witham to West London yesterday morning and 4 and a half hours home again
