Are you all battening down the hatches?Wish I was on Davaar Island.One night when we were there it was raining horizontal stair rods.We closed the wooden outer door and window blinds and sat in front of a roaring log fire listening to the wind howling outside.Heaven!And copious amounts of wine made it even better!

It's pretty rough here in North Argyll at the moment.

Could do with some of your wine!

Just the weather needed to get the wind turbines up to speed.

Unfortunately, Bill, they can't operate in winds of the speed we're currently experiencing.

I wondered who it would be,and how long it would be before I was corrected.Pity I could not put money on it.

Pretty rough last night, once again we lost power over night, just got back on - was told by the lady on the helpline that engineers were out repairing during the night but they had to abandon as it got too dangerous - think they did well to get us reconnected so soon.
