I had planned to go out this afternoon (first time since hosp visit in August). The high winds here have put paid to that. What breath I have even with oxygen would get lost on the trip to the car.

If it calms down for an hour - I shall plead loudly!

Sorry, Florence,

I thought everybody in the Hebrides lived in or near Stornoway!!

But I am (originally) from Edinburgh so what would I know.

I'll let you off then Robert lol. The biggest island is 90 miles long and 15 miles wide plus the smaller islands further south.

Gosh the wind is just getting worse. i need to go to our local shop 3 miles away but getting the door open of the car will be a nightmare.

We still have power but some flickering now and then.

made a lovely pan of lentil soup for later mmnnn.

can actually see some blue sky so maybe a sign of calmer things to come but then again blue sky might as well be purple!

Take care all

Our beautiful Rhus tree blew down while I was at work yesterday evening. It didn't cause any damage but 'imself will have a busy day sawing it up and transporting it to the dump in pieces.

I was wearing its beautiful autumn clothes as well. :-(
