Gentle breeze

[Buckman]

I wonder how posters living in Scotland managed with the gentle breeze that wafted over Scotland and Isle of Skye? Hope all are safe?

Last night's news showed several caravans on their sides at a site by Loch Lomond and reports of several campervans overturned on Skye - hope all the people are ok.

It was on GMB this morning for about 2 seconds so obviously they do not regard it as news?

I heard from two friends, in the North, one in Pitlochry, strong winds and heavy rain , they managed to get their awning down before the really strong winds. and the same from below Glasgow. Much less to day though.

In the borders it was just a puff of wind and a sprinkling of rain.

Och that was just a gentle breeze, we've had worst. At least the house wasn't shaking this time. Electric stayed on surprisingly. Burn through the garden was flowing well.

Haven't downloaded my weather station yet so not sure of actual gusts. We're on the west side and the wind was blowing directly at us. Large ship in the bay taking shelter.

Did venture out in the car and it wasn't too bad. Had a problem though getting the gates to stay open onto our driveway when coming back. The wind kept blowing one shut and last thing I needed was it closing as I drive through. Had a hard time pushing it open and then wedge it with a rock. Got in car and gunned it up the driveway. Then down to shut the gates. All this in pouring rain.

I know the area where vans etc tip over in the wind as we've seen it happen. We were wondering how many of those camper vans were rented by people who don't have much of a clue about driving them.

Tesco's delivers to the Island and we were due to get a collection today but got a message last night that due to 'technical problems' our order for today was cancelled. Wind related...no idea!

Had to spend and arm and a leg at the Co-op this morning in Portree instead. Lots of damaged trees by the side of the roads on the way. Potholes are getting deeper.

Today sunny but still a stiff breeze.
