Candle In The Wind

Isn't the internet a wonderful thing. Today's wild weather has become known as hurricane bawbag and already has an entry in Wikipedia:

"Hurricane Bawbag was the colloquial name given to a storm passing over areas of the United Kingdom, mainly Scotland, during the week beginning 5 December 2011. On 8 December, winds reached up to 165 mph (265 km/h) which resulted in closure of many roads, bridges, schools and businesses.

On 7 December, the Met Office issued a red weather warning-its highest warning-and said there would be significant risk of structural damage. Police advised the public not to travel, and the Tay, Forth and Erskine bridges were closed to all traffic. As a result of the weather, many universities, schools and nurseries were closed. Public transport was also affected; many trains were cancelled or switched to a limited service, with buses running in place of trains due to line problems."

Its also being used as a hash tag on twitter :) For some reason the term has caught the imagination of our nation. There is even a website selling "I survived Hurricane Bawbag" T -Shirts!

It was wild and scary out there today. Torrential rain, lightening, thunder and hailstones like golf balls. Scheduled trip to the hairdresser rescheduled and instead spent some time with young jake taking pictures of candles. A lot more tricky than you might at first think. That boy has the patience of a saint :)
