How prophetic was yesterday's post? I went to bed and dreamed of dripping Hebridean caves and woke to a steady drip somewhat closer to home. Last night Glasgow was lashed by winds up to force 9 and torrential rain. My roof was damaged and the rain has driven in.
Today's BBC's synoptic chart shows more winds of up to force 9 again will hit Glasgow and the Clyde. I would normally have gone windsurfing at Troon but I have a dental abscess at the moment. A sore head and a leaking roof are not a good combination. I must cheer myself with another summer memory.
PS Sunday 21:25 hrs. Wind and rain are increasing; strategic pots have been placed. Why oh why did I post about dripping water?!!
Yikes! Maybe the windsurfing would take the mind off the tooth for a few minutes? Hope you feel better soon! My dentist says drink, lots and lots of whiskey. . . . Well, she doesn't actually. . but I pretend she does and take her advice.
ReplyDeleteOn scanning the page I was first drawn to the synoptic chart and then focussed on the photograph above. I opened it for a better look and was completely convinced that what I was looking at was an aerial photograph of some remote island with a sheltered natural harbour, amongst huge confused seas. And I haven't touched a drop!.
ReplyDeleteI trust that things aren't still going drip drip in the Wilcox houshold? Another blow tonight...
ReplyDeleteCailean your concern is indeed appreciated. The drips have started again, see PS on post!
ReplyDeleteGrazie and Derrick, I have!
Ha, did you think you could escape the high winds and floods by moving down the road... evil laugh...
ReplyDeleteHello Muzz, my brother still lives up north in Elgin, they seem to escaped a bit more lightly than Glasgow THIS time! Must get home tonight before the pail fills up!
