I understand that the met office where the storm first reaches 'named storm' thresholds is the one which does the naming. Within each met office there is a list of 26 (alphabetically named) storms created for each storm season, which i believe starts (Northern Hemisphere? Europe?) in August.

so so dark. Spent Friday bemoaning the dark, then got a migraine Saturday and was swearing at the sun. 😭

suspect i'm the worst sort - parent of neurodivergent child who doesn't like mornings, so i have very specific systems that mean i can *usually* get us out of the door 45 minutes after their wake-up, but occasionally fail and then everyone shouts & cries.

my MiL suggested & handed me my first festive Baileys - Cheers to her too :)

transport? The size of coats? Or the state of the world?

Sustainable drainage (and potential capture for irrigation) seems called for...

Interestingly, you can also build LAUGHS in there, but not FROWNS (or SCOWLS)

I saw a cavapoo with a little coat (legged, black, with a reflective go-faster stripe!) today. Sadly, no photo :(

Ditto! Just starting to get out again after Covid (half-term did involve 'out', but at toddler pace & I have no pics that don't include faces (ergo not internet)

Very - and a difficult atmosphere to work in :(

I'm so sorry!

So this. Am eye-rolling and getting out the pointy sticks of frustration (dpn knitter by preference)

So true - though more so now they're non-smoking
