Sounds dreich out there,
roads closed due to floods not too far from oor Mo's area,

just spoke with someone who'd a two hour plus journey from Perth, (not WA),
over an inch fallen here but much worse to the N and E..

Yes. I see the M9 was shut. Many roads just passable with care around here. It’s gone off just now but the wind is getting stronger.

Morning. Not so much rain today but much stronger wind. Not sure whether to risk a walk or not. Don't fancy getting clouted with anything.

It's very strange reading this and going out to the bakery in still, clear weather.

Mind you, it'll pish it down for the rest of the week to make up for this...

If you clout back, it may think twice before trying again.

It will now. As for the wind, stay off the beans, unless that's what you want.

Morning??

Gotta get these rollocks sorted.

Windy is an understatement. Need I mention ferries? Probably nothing sailing after 1000 today. I doubt I would be able to stand up outside just now tho' I will have to brave it to get fuel for the stove and dump the ashes. The coal merchant is running short of stock due to no incoming supplies which is why I always have a couple of weeks in reserve. Not terribly PC to have a solid fuel stove but there have been prolonged power cuts in the past and I prefer not to be cold. A few years ago when there was a mainland problem at Kerrera power was off for 4 days.

Power failures are where an open fire comes in handy.

You'll have a decent supply of batteries for the radio, a wind up torch. Tea, milk & sugar supplies to last?

Old school is good..
I'd hate to think how the young 'uns nowadays could cope it the internet bombed for a few days, no Twitter, faceache, and the rest and if telly went too, none of these reality tv progs, how would they live without daily updates of what celebrities clean their erses with etc...

did that sound cynical
