Looking forward to unlocking and moving my dishes ...eventually.
What a waste ..
Weather and illness has kept that status quo here ...and at a time when I get to 'see' the more extremes of my Eastern arc ..
Yes I appreciate wind defoliation ...but not at the expense of damage to my gear ..
More wind expected today ..so will stay in lockdown for now..having started pre Christmas..
cest la vie

Superb views of nacreous clouds (aka mother of pearl clouds) up here this morning. Quick snaps on my phone which really dont do the incredible colours justice. Top pic is from the front door about 08.10 this morning. Bottom pic is in the local Tesco car park, dropping swmbo off.

They should stop naming them, then we can go back to the way it used to be.

I think that giving them names just attracts more of them to our shores. And I am talking about the storms.

Should be ok if you've got plenty of weight on the mount.

We could do with a folding dish like you see on the uplink trucks, would avoid any damage being able to fold the dish up.
