This weather seems to be playing havoc with my internet. Is it just me or is anyone else experiencing slow/no connection during the last couple of months.

Oik !  ;D ;D ;D

Rather (ahem) 'breezy' at Techno Towers in Pembrokeshire at the mo...(I nearly got blown off my feet taking hay out to the sheep this evening)....And I don't think we've got anything like the worst of it.

Mind you...Mrs T went into Cardigan this morning... Cardigan being about 10 miles away and about 700 feet lower than us...and she said it was almost calm there.

(Shouldn't live in the bloomin' hills.)

Internet is no slower than usual, for the middle of nowhere.

Windy and gusting to around 45mph. Nothing compared to the North of Scotland though.

Very windy here in the West of Scotland. Haven't checked the roof but garden fence still standing (has blown down before - the last time when we had 90 mph plus winds - narrowly missing me when I was out trying to shore it up!). No problems with t'internet ever since we upgraded our Hub.

You should have just thrown it out the window.  :D
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Sadly, Westie....The wind was blowing in the opposite direction to what would be required to achieve that.  ;D ;D ;D ;D
(I'd be picking hay out of the green stuff for DAYS !  X_X)

Still 'blowy' down here.....But compared to yesterday, just about nothing.

The odd thing is, that there are only two dogs.

Right, I'll work this out.

Me, Mrs T and the MIL = 6
Four Labs                  =16
Six horses/ponies       =24
Nine sheep                 =36..........No, we don't eat them, Mark....They're just organic lawnmowers who cross graze the fields with the gee-gees.
Ten chickens              = 20..........No, we don't eat those either.  ;D ;D

Think that makes 102.

Cheers - Phil (I suppose I could count the MIL's zimmer...That'd be another 4.  X_X)
