More gales with winds from the south, 60+ kmh. No way to know about the
gusts.

Temperature about 5° or 6° so not cold.

Completely cloudy with not a peep of sunbeam.

The BBC has removed the yellow warning of wind even though the forecast
is unchanged. Perhaps this 60k wind isn't as nasty as the forecast 60k
wind, or something.

The postie just called - she looked a bit bedraggled but, as she said,
at least it's warm enough.

That must be it. It would never have occurred to me that some
60mph winds would be nastier than others, but certainly some 6
foot tall people are nastier than other 6 foot tall people, so
it's quite logical, really.

**Not**.

Aye but what would we do without them? There'd be no one to look up to.

Isn't there some saying about winds in March ... in like a duck, out
like a wombat ... or similar?
I can never remember which way round it's supposed to be (or if it's
even vaguely true). If an old wife goes by the house, we'll drag her in
and ask her.

In like an lion and out like a lamb. I don't think they had
wombats in the north-east when that particular saying was
coined. Come to that, I don't think we have them now.

Aha, it's that way round. Thanks ... we should be well set for a lambly
ending to the month then.
I tend to use 'wombat' as a general one-size-fits-all noun. If there's a
reason for that, it escapes me although we can't entirely rule out
stupidity.
Seems we may get lynxes (sp lynges?) soon ... a wolf or six would be
good too.

Meanwhile, it's raining in big, blobby drops.

(Someone will probably post that there's a law of physics which makes
all raindrops equal - let's hope not in both respects.)

===================================

This is a thread like any other and you can obviously do with it as you
will. But have you considered maybe starting a new one each month to stop
this one getting ever larger? (And especially given the inability of some in
these parts to understand the meaning and social utility of snipping.)

There must be some confusion at your end.

I post a weather report three or four times a week and start a new
thread for each one. That is, I believe, how it is done. They each
appear separately on my computer, as do everyone else's daily (or
intermittent) reports.

In like an lion and out like a lamb.

Or vice versa; depends on which happens at the start of the month.

Oh it works both ways? Even I should be able to remember that then.
It has definitely been a lionesque start. Bring on the lamb (but not to
eat).

John's using a Mickeysoft product with which to read the posts;
something was bound to go wrong. ;-)

I guess MS Live Mail is identifying threads according to the subject;
not a good idea.
