If it's howling a gale and pouring with rain come Saturday morning, taking off at Heathrow is going to be [more] interesting [than normal] ;D

No flying at my favourite highland haunt today. Bit of a shame you can't see the windsock. I suppose you might catch it going past when it detaches itself from its' pole. ;D

Wind and rain is bad in stoke. 60 mph winds here. Manchester just as bad. The whole country sounds like it's taking a battering.

The mig is like a rocking chair out there.
