Since the beginning of October it's been either pissing it down or blowing a gale up here. Usually both. Chances of getting out on two wheels (petrol or leg powered) is absolutely bugger all.
I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.
And it seems everyone I know from the Deep South has been gloating about a lovely, mild late autumn and rides out.
Not that I'm bitter or jealous.
I suppose I can console myself with the thought that I had plenty of water during the year when my southern compatriots were wearing stillsuits and ringing out teabags for what little moisture they contained.

Only another four months to go.... πŸ˜–

So pleased to hear that it's not just me Steve πŸ˜‰

I'm going stir crazy... Weather has been somewhat inclement and the gusty wind is fierce. 😟

Even my old jalopy of a car doesn't want to go anywhere, he keeps say "Nah, it ain't gonna 'appen".

If the white stuff falls I think I'm gonna get a couple of huskies and a sled!

Good tyres them all season jobbies.
The only time I ever had to abandon the car was during the Beast From The East when the snow was deeper than my little Suzuki's ground clearance, but not even the farm tractors where going up my road then so it wasn't a mark of disgrace πŸ˜†

I laughed when I first saw your post JP, but looking out of the window today it doesn't seem such a daft idea.
There is as much water as grass, the sheep are wearing rubber rings and the cows are getting fitted with snorkels.

Sunshine at last, so it would be rude not to take advantage of it.
Big10 taken out for a good scamper round the hills, now I just need to clean him up before putting him into hibernation for the winter.
Night, night Big10

I can feel the Verity love from here Jinx πŸ₯°
In going to keep Scootie on the road through winter. She/he * needs ACF50'ing, ironically scooters are so wrapped up in plastic it's hard to get at the metal bits with the spray πŸ™‚
* Scootie is gender fluid but identifies as a motorcycle πŸ™ƒ

And yesterday it was freezing rain, everything covered covered in about 5mm of solid ice - thankfully I didn't have to go anywhere cos I couldn't.
It was funny watching the dog trying to go out for a late night wee πŸ˜…
