The sun is shining. The wind is gusting up to 70km/h. The sun is shining. Hail stones and broken off twigs are hammering the windows. The sun is shining. All my seed trays, including the one with celeriac just ready to be pricked out, are upended. The sun is shining.

@psneeze oh no! I sowed celeriac today. I’m sad for you and the seeds

@JeniParsons I've calmed down a bit. The seeds weren't long sown so I haven't lost too much time.  

I braved the wind and rain to rescue as many celeriac seedlings as I could and popped them into cells. About 15 out of a possible 40. Not bad.

@psneeze good news. Wind is high here too but not as strong as with you. Sheep grazing and no lambs imminent tonight I’m glad to say, though now I’ve said that it’ll be a short night probably. Pasg hapus yfory

@JeniParsons Fingers crossed. It would be a cruel night to be out lambing. 🤞

Beannachtaí na Cásca.

@psneeze April showers
@PatrickOBeirne Every last one of them in the space of an hour.
@psneeze a while ago, my wheelbarrow was chasing the bins across the yard.
@mikaelfer They won't be caught if you're with Greyhound.

"The wind is gusting up to 70km/h."

Jaysus! 😬

@psneeze
That's bordering on branch-snapping weather, here.
@scandigonian Yep. We had broken twigs whacking the windows.
@psneeze yup. Wind is getting up in Sheffield. Sat on allotment, polytunnel cover blew off. Gave up on that. Got ready to go. Tent greenhouse blew to bits. Cannot afford to do proper Sheffield brick base greenhouses with wooden top, cannot grow in cheap polytunnels either. #stormdave #sheffield #allotment
@hicksy2 Holy fuck! That's a disaster. 😨

@hicksy2 @psneeze Sorry to hear Dave has done so much damage. Rubbish name for a storm.

I’ll check the plot tomorrow to see if and what the damage is here. It’s very noisily windy out there.
