I’m jealous. Can’t remember when I last had that. Definitely before menopause when it was like a switch clicked in my brain and stopped being able to sleep soundly for any length of time.
Chilly morning here but dry and the wind has finally eased.
Good morning all.
The strong winds are still with us along with the rain.
I sleep like a log, but MrsP is often awake by 0300, and then gets annoyed that I am out for the count. Even if I do wake up I can get back to sleep within minutes.

Good morning from County Hall London ( Premier Inn department ).
Fingers crossed our rail journey back to Poole gets away on time, there were cancellations yesterday evening due to line obstruction with tree branches. An enjoyable stay and great to finally meet our new grandson.

I have risen!
The wind has eased a little, but the rain has ratcheted up in its place.

6 hours straight for me - equally rare. Woke up, had a brew and back to sleep for another two.
I feel very good.
Morning all 
Things are calming down now; we've just got high winds now - not gales.
Think we got away quite lightly here as my garden is pretty sheltered. Just got a panel in one greenhouse to replace and a few sheets of corrugated iron to round up and store securely.
Off to the Railway Inn at lunchtime for Sunday roast.

Good morning. Lots of sleep last night. Boy, did I need it. Feeling very chipper.
We have a man coming to inspect the site of our new shed (sorry, summerhouse)* at 10.00. I'm meeting a friend at 3.30 TODAY for coffee. She has confirmed this. I must crack on now, exercises and brekkie.
* It's a shed with glass in. Dress it up any way you wish, it's still a friggin' shed. Pig, lipstick????

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Coooeee. I had a guest last night. My sons electricity was out all day and wasn't expected to be fixed until later on today so a grandson decided to stay the night. He had an assignment that had to be turned in today as an associate teacher so came to us as we were OK. The electric was back on at around midnight.Copious quantities of tea and toast this morning and off he went. 
Stay safe peeps

The wind has turned to the North and is biting. A good day to stay in.

I just did a wander around the town as I think the trail would be muddy and covered in debris after yesterday’s weather.
Bit like a booby to go with my willy.

Some minor damage hereabouts. The odd house with tiles missing, the occasional fence blown down. Fortunately my new house haw an interlocking dry ridge roof system able to withstand 100 mph winds.
The rain might be a ballache for those on nearby Billing Aquadrome though. I mean, the car an park ended up there in thes as it was known to be an unsuitable place to build houses as its a natural flood plain. And knowing that eejuts go and live on it.
