Buckle up, kids, we might be in for a bumpy ride.

Storm Isha maps show where weather warnings will hit UK hardest
Storm Isha will bring winds of up to 80mph and heavy rain to the UK this weekend, the Met Office said.

It's not as windy as I thought it was going to be (yet). I put a large paving slab on the trampoline earlier so it doesn't move house

Uncanny. I went to bed with wind and rain lashing against my window and got up to (admittedly weak) sunshine, a bit of a breeze, and patches of blue sky. :o

Uncanny, I woke up with gale-force winds beating around the old farmhouse and ended up with a sunny late afternoon seen through the window of a hospital room.

Feeling poorly after a nasty weekend of being ill, I went to the village doctor early this morning, he took one look at me and immediately called an ambulance.

Pneumonia is back (round 4) and now I'm getting my antibiotics intravenously while they work out exactly what's causing it.

Now suffering major music and amp withdrawal and hoping that someone brings me a pair of headphones tomorrow so I can try Tidal out on my smartphone.

Haven't spent a night in a hospital since I was a kid.

Get well soon. The antibiotics should do the trick.
