For some reason, I thought you were in the US, hence my extra info about the bridges!!

I love the bin stories..I got home at about 2045 and thought S** it, to cold dark and windy to put out the recycling (other waste is fortnightly and not this week), turned the last corner to see neighbour-across-the-road's stuff all over the road.

Woke up today to a lovely morning...traffic was heavier than usual, but got to work ok. About midday, it all went dark and the wind and rain started. I went out about 1700 to move my car (the car park shuts 1730 and by then most of our lot have left and I can park outside our building) and no rain, but that exhilarating wind. I needed a jumper under my coat but was ok for the couple of minutes it took.

A lorry fell over on the old Severn Crossing tonight; I use the new crossing, but by the time I came through there was very little traffic, which was just as well, as they'd coned off the inside line coming into Newport. Not looking forward to coming home at 1600 Wed and Thurs for my Welsh lessons if it's still there.

Radio: I spent Sunday listening to Radio 4 and Planet Rock. Radio 4 just doesn't do traffic news, but has good weather forecasts (aka Shipping Forecast). Planet Rock does some traffic reports in the week, and no weather reports that I've ever noticed. Very limited (Sky) news reports. The music news is longer.
