I'll bet! I had to have a massive fir tree chopped down in the autumn as it was pushing out the wall it stood above and threatened my house rather ominously. I wouldn't be getting much sleep during these storms if it was still there!

Still best off up here on my hill. Don't fancy being under water like all those englanders, poor buggers.

@Lovejoy: Argyll is certainly cold and damp!

Often around this time of year, we get floods up here, Perthshire hit a couple of times in recent years.

This time the rain seems to have moved south and been joined by some friends

I hope none of you are badly hit by it and life gets back to normal.

(Hmm, that was too nice)

I hope none of you are badly hit by it and life gets back to normal so you can get back to ogling goats

I'll be spending my weekend down in Somerset, as I've drawn the short straw to cover in the flood control room. I'm hoping for a quiet two days, weather wise.

I think the system tonight and tomorrow should sort out the two dodgy fence panels in next doors fence, just hope they stay in their garden.

We have two Norwegian spruce trees at the bottom of the garden.
One of them has just shed a branch. It really did make quite a racket.
Not a bad thing to happen though. This Summer I had intended on building a pole lathe beneath the trees. So tomorrow I'll chop up the branch and put it in the shed to season a bit and now I'll have some great pieces of spruce to turn on the lathe.
