Storms Dudley and Eunice hit UK

This week I've been in one of those strange holiday bubbles, where I have a week off work and have not planned trips out or the weather hasn't been very good. It's been a fairly poor week weather-wise, Wednesday and Thursday apart. I did visit my parents on Wednesday, which was good, the threat of a storm was always there however and the wind did get much stronger in the afternoon but thankfully I was back by the time things got worse.

I haven't been out with my cameras as much as I'd hoped this week. The weather has been quite wet and my mirrorless cameras are not weather-sealed. I do have two DSLRs which have weather-sealed bodies but the lenses are not weather-sealed, so I didn't want to risk taking them out. Plus the fact that I didn't particularly know where to take them even if I did feel like going out. I spent an hour or so out with my Sony a5000 yesterday. I bought it as a vlogging camera mainly but I also took some still photographs with it near the canal.

The weather today is particularly bad in terms of the winds. There are gusts of up to 100mph in some parts and there is lots of travel disruption.

This week I have watched a few TV shows that I wouldn't normally have been able to watch, so at least I have done that.
