We didn't sleep very well last night due to the storm. It probably sounded worse than it was as our apartment is on the first floor and we are quite high up. Also, being in apartment 1 means our bedroom sticks out to the side and is totally exposed to the wind and rain.
The RCD kept tripping out in the night sending everywhere pitch black so Mark had to keep re-setting it. At one point we heard bumping and when Mark looked out of the window the arm rest between the two benches (love seat directly outside our apartment) had taken off and the benches were about to go too.

Here is the view outside our apartment this morning. It was actually very clear and warm.
The BBC news reporter in Weymouth this morning said the wind at Portland Bill had reached 81MPH! It was VERY windy and noisy in the night, don't mind admitting I was a little scared.

We went to bed late last night as we were looking out of the front window looking at and listening to the storm, so I managed to finish the blue scarf last night.
I did this scarf 7 stitches across instead of 5 stitches across as the last scarf I did in this yarn in August came out too long and thin (which can be seen in this blog post here when scarf is hanging up on caravan door). This one is a much nicer thickness and length. I love the colour.

I also started another scarf today in a grey/silver colour yarn which is quite pretty, it reminds me of Christmas!
Anais finished her beading/weaving this morning before we went out. If we had jewellery findings with us she could have made this into a bracelet but we don't so she cut the ends instead and turned it into a book mark.......
..........she started another this evening.
Thought we would go in land today in case it was still windy on the coast so we went to Dorchester. The main road to Dorchester was closed though "due to a police incident" so we had to take the back roads instead.
This is a nice building in Dorchester which is currently being used as a bank which was allegedly used in a Thomas Hardy novel "The Mayor of Casterbridge".
We stopped off on the way home to take a photo of the White Horse at Osmington.
While we were in Tesco, Anais and Roman asked if we could get a pumpkin to put on the window sill of the apartment like we did a few years ago. Never thought to do a pumpkin this year so never brought any tea lights with us. Looks a bit sad as its only a small one and its got my huge scented pumpkin spice candle in it. Here it is in our window! Roman carved this with Mark as Anais wanted to read her new book.
Anais spent all of her money in the arcades trying to win this frog. She spent all of her money and won nothing.
Roman lurks in the background. He saw Anais leave the machine and jumped in!
He came home with a pot full of money and rather smugly this frog!

Also today, after days of having a wobbly tooth, Anais' tooth finally fell out this afternoon. She went to bed leaving her phone on recording hoping to catch the tooth fairy in action!
