Wind is howling, children are crying and there's a balrog in woodpile
Hati Started conversation Nov 27, 2011
Something like this anyway. I don't have and 
children here and the rain is pouring down, so I won't go checking the woodpile but wind is surely howling and 
s are flying. Both yesterday and today in these corners quite some flying s have been spotted. Not in this town, well, at least not that I know of. The tree on the town square was all there some 6-7 hours ago. But then the storm is still quite a baby. Compared to some other places.
Today it was the day to light first candle on . It was raining 
s and 
s here, but luckily they have invented all those pots and jars for candles, oh, and umbrellas, of course. To the public event was just fine. Wet, but fine.
I was a smart girl, I heated to house in the morning. By now it would be quite impossible - the wind is too strong and it would just press smoke down the chimney. So I am safe and sound and warm and all that. Just a mild case of insomnia and other 
problems. But I'll see few 
s next week, so they can sort it all out. Or not.
Has anyone seen my woollen socks?

We are in the middle of a storm right now. Many bridges have been closed and ferries had to stay in ports. Colleague of mine was expected home from Berlin today, but I doubt she will make it back in time to go to w*rk tomorrow

Impressive storm, not very christmassy though.

wind, children, balrog, .. well .. at least there's no wolves, polar bears ..
and if at the farm just outside the village a sheep gave birth to a six legged, two-headed lamb it's time to panic ..
and to do a quick search for a recipe for lamb chops

Oh well, next storm will be next week. We'll try harder then.

No. It was here, flying s and all (the one in T crashed twice). Next week there will be another storm.

I read today that it was the warmest November of the last 50 years. In eekland, that is.

Our local winter forecast is for warmer than average temperatures with more rain/ice and less snow. I hope they're wrong about the ice.

We just got the official forecast for December. Warmer than average, more stuff coming down. But they were not sure about the 'stuff'. Could be anything really, including cats, dogs and bicycle hoses. And snow.

If it's cats and dogs I hope you get some bags of food to go with them.

So far only a guinea pig has dropped into my household. 
And I am not going to feed it to cats and dogs. I better get myself an umbrella.

Sounds like a plan.

Not the best one, though. One is for sure - there will be a lot of wind. Maybe I should just stay indoors. There may even be a chance for black Christmas. It's ages since we had that.

I won't. But the umbrella would.

umbrellas are not good in handling wind

I thought so, yes. And tomorrow I'll spend the day in a windy seaside town.
