Dave visited Bristol too

We also had a report from Kit, G5KIT from Bristol who was telling us that “Storm Dave is definitely making his presence felt, and it’s just been too windy to do anything other than see how much ground the cleavers have claimed in their battle for the parsley patch (below). Instead, we’ve been entertained by watching the magpies and crows battling for tactical supremacy in the trees across the road (above)”. Funny enough you say that Kit, as yesterday morning there was some magpies and crow business going on in the trees at the back of us. Are the birds fighting back in the aftermath of Dave?

Cheers to Kit for sending us a Moon mix inspired by the Artemis rocket trip presently orbiting that moon of ours. #TheMoonConnectsUsAll

Astronomy Domine – Pink Floyd
Space Truckin’ – Deep Purple
2000 Light Years from Home – The Rolling Stones
There’s a Moon in the Sky – The B52’s
Supersonic Rocket Ship – The Kinks

And for the Bank Holiday Gardening Monday here’s a couple of moon related tunes.

 

The day after Dave came

Cheers to Rich in the Lake District for another lovely picture from his front garden (possibly a contender for our nicest view from a front garden award). He told us yesterday “It’s a fairly nice day today, wind has dropped and only a sprinkle of snow on the highest hills.”

During the storm they did have a power cut which lasted as long as it took them to find the candles and torches, light in comparison when during past storms they’ve had them for up to 5 days. Blimmin’ eck!

Good to hear Storm Dave didn’t kick off too much or create much trouble (as some Daves do when they get angry.)

Happy Birthday Rich and good luck to all gardeners if they’re doing some Bank Holiday gardening today.

Disclaimer: * We are not getting at any Dave in particular and have mentioned it for purely humorous purposes. We know a few by the way (Mad Dave, Tai Chi Dave and Dave across the road) and all are lovely Daves.
