Toto, I have the feeling we're not in Kansas anymore

Dear Lord I think my house might have blowed away. I'm scared to open the front door in case I see the yellow brick road. Is there anyone alive out there ED?

[iaineasy]

haha just about!!:))

[karter]

Don't you mean dear Wizard? :p

Now come on Giggi, you're just using the weather/Oz motif to introduce us to your latest footwear acquisition.

Ruby red? Are the heels 'clickable'? Do you start out wearing them in one place, end up in another and not know how you got there? With three of the campest blokes imaginable?

Congratulations, it's you sporting the Laboutins in Soho House with Prince, Mick Jagger and Michael Gove.

I'm so busted - red shoes are my favourites. How can anyone not love red shoes!

Unfortunately I stubbed my toe today on the way to the gym so I'm hobbling around and my footwear this evening is aesthetically challenged to say the least.

Oh my god, our house can WHISTLE! This is the first storm I've experienced in our new house, so it was all pretty new to me!! Just glad I wasn't out there - I feel sorry for whoever & whatever was! I have been out in one of these before & I'm not joking when I say it lifted me up a little & almost blew me away! I was TERRIFIED.

And all is calm and quiet this Sunday morning in Munchkin Land

More gutter fixing today, what fun. Still Mrs W**F likes to see me doing "mens jobs" coz I'm so butch like an all that.

Was there any damage in the ED Hood?

Saw a shop front that was boarded up on the corner of Kirkdale, the whole board was blown off.

Nonsense: it's too cold to lurk, I was at home with my slippers on.

It's coming back on Wednesday. Big winds and bad weather, as we are in the 'eye' of the hurricane.

[????]

It really wasn't that bad was it? Just a winter storm - the BBC just issue a servere weather warning when you get anything that deviates from the norm nowadays. We live in a hyperbolic media world now - see swine flu etc

[SeanMacGabhann]

Agreed quids - I ended up walking back from teh lane with 6 bags of shopping and a bay tree under my arm which was not helped by the wind, but it wasn't freakish weaher by any means - perhaps some peolpe are subterraneans and aren't used to it ;-)

[????]

Yuo, let's be frank this is not america is it, there was just a bit of wind

[SeanMacGabhann]

Although it did feel a little like walking up the hill backwards

[????]

Wild is the wind in some parts of the world but not in little old England - we're absolute begiiners when it comes to this stuff

on the subject of which, there was a great article in the guardian weekly recently about the surviving munchkins. they havn,t changed a bit.

[Keef]

To be fair, I never saw any scare mongering reports, just heard we were going to have strong winds, which we did.

After the whole Michael Fish thing in '87, I guess they're keen to cover themselves.
