Not really interesting facts about yourself

[RDR]

I'm not that fussed on Ireland and don't let anyone say to me that the Irish and the Scots are the same - they're not - in general

Scots are not very similar either.

Highland vs Lowland?
West coast vs East Coast?

Bridie don't misunderstand me, the comment was in relation to my relative not in relation to Ireland which I've visited and enjoyed.
In any case the context was 1913-1916 a different to some extent, historical era.

That was me slightly and clumsily changing the subject RDR
My point is that many people both Irish and Scottish have said to me over the years that there isn't much difference between the Scots and Irish especially people from Glasgow who have Irish background in my experience I now beg to differ and I'm getting fed up with this post now anyway

I have foregone todays' walk in favour of showing a bit of common sense .. I did have to brave the 300 yards to the local shop for essentials.

I'll tell you what, when the wind lifts me off my feet .. that's a wind.

three trees down in my street now.big trees at that and the council dont start back till tomorrow.we had a very lucky escape.the small steel fence out front broke its fall and the top of the tree is about one foot from our window.

Jeezo .. a close call right enough.

Dog out for walk. Tree blown down on top of us. Unscathed thankfully. Take care everone. This is This Winter. There will be more winds; more storms; more buggereyness to haunt our goings out and comings in. Look after yourselves! Your Uncle Mac is wanting the best for you so Take Care!

Came back from our caravan today, and the Northbound A9 near Stirling had at least a dozen BIG trees down on the carriageway. Couple of artics had blown over in one of the big lay-bys too, including an "Eddie"!

there is now a team of chainsaw wielding council workers in my garden dismantling the tree.60 years old it was and housed a few magpies the steel fence has buckled a bit in my next door neighbours.very lucky no one was passing when it came down.i will try to post some photos.i asked if there was anything they could do for my fence and they offered me some petrol and a match.
