CrunchieSquirrel Posted January 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 No, not a single person in Shetland has been affected by these gales in any wayOh well, it was a little silly for me start the topic then. I have only just had a big break from Shetlink because well, I was a little left out as some topics were either one-sided or a complete mess. Yet anyway, the only thing that has affected me in the gales is that the bird table in my garden blew over (luckily no bird was stuck underneath).

Moody Blue Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 My gate was blown off its hinges and also a notice asking for my bruck box lid to be closed properly to avoid damage in the high winds, was also blown away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post trout Posted January 28, 2014 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 ^^ Indeed. Some of these threads are the same old sad sorry faces whining away with utterly needless negativity. So 2014 ... let's 'all' try a little harder! Let's make Shetlink a more inclusive and happier place to browse and join in topics. as, CrunchieSquirrel, sludgegulper and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

as Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 sorry to hear about your pony, Paul. our roof has developed a third leak and wet patches are appearing at floorboard level in 2 rooms where the wind is driving in the wet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustMe Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Getting a bit wearing having day after day of gales but apart from the wind keeping me awake when it gets above gale force my only problem so far is that my resolution to do more walking as part of my weight loss has sort of ground to a halt. Still working on the diet though. But I guess compared to the people cut off by floods in Somerset we have not had too much to cope with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostrider Posted January 28, 2014 Report Share Posted January 28, 2014 Just be thankful its only been wind and rain, not wind and snow, for this length of time. Its winter, its Shetland, we can expect at least one extended spell of one type of weather most winters, remember last February or March when it was dry and little to no wind for most of a month - this is payback, everything evens out equally in the end.
