Diesel's are better than petrol with CO2 but they neglected to notice how much worse they are at NOx until after they had talked us all into buying them! Typical.

Not so bad for north Wales, but just in case..............

Health advice issued as high levels of air pollution expected in Wales.

We may be enjoying the warmth, but this might scare some:

North Wales braced for Christmas weekend weather bomb with 59mph winds

Gale force winds and torrential rain will batter the region as Storm Barbara sweeps in.
The severe weather is expected to cause mayhem on the roads and railways across the UK as people prepare to travel to see family and friends for Christmas.

Forecasters say the bad weather will start on Wednesday with winds of up to 42mph predicted in Holyhead.

If they only reach 42mph we probably won't even notice it.

Starting Tuesday up here, Calmac Status website looks a real mess already.

Booked a trip with the car over to Oban tomorrow for shopping. Mrs Mull says we will have to go.
Looks like an interesting few days ahead.
Morag says we will need 3 pegs on the washing line, and get plenty of candles in.

Stay safe.

The weather's turning seriously unpleasant from Friday morning onwards. They're now predicting gusts of over 80mph, and that's the point at which power lines and trees start falling over. Certainly Conwy is slated to get the heaviest rain if the storm continues on its predicted track.

They've revised the forecast downwards in intensity terms, so Friday will not be the promised Armageddon. Still windy, however, but a lot of rain, which will mitigate the effect of the wind substantially. On that front, the Wrexham area will be clobbered by torrential rain.

I hope that Mull is not on the mainland of Scotland as it looks like the ferries may be cancelled up there .

No we are back home on the island and battened down waiting for it.
We had our excitement on Tuesday.
Caught the 0900 ferry and bouncing half way accross to Oban Skipper of the ferry announces due to deteriating weather the return crossing back to Mull would be the last one today and anyone wishing to stay on board and return should make themselves known at the pursers office.
Mrs mull was not to be put off an the shopping would be done.
After Lidl, Tesco Argos etc we set off back to Mull the long way round via the Corran ferry and Lochaline/Fishnish ,hoping these ferries would keep running.Keep running they did but it was a rough trip, gales and torrential rain allthe way. We had gone prepared with sleeping bags in case we got stranded on Morven which is one of the remotest parts of te Scottish mainland. We could have slept in the car which we have done before.
Left Oban at 1405 and arrived home in Fionnphort at 1825.
In case the power goes off in the next few hours i will wish you all Nadolig llawen.
