Saturday 15/01/05

A very dreich day, with rain on and off. Cloud hangs low, at about 800 feet. Roofs are being fixed all over the district. Whilst in town for the shopping, had lunch in the chinese restaurant, which was disappointing. Dug out some old maps in the library. Found the seaweed on the seats at the Bridge off Bayhead, roadsigns decapitated. Returned to Lochs on the 2.20 bus. A car lay on its roof 1/2 mile north of Keose. Another car was sitting nearby, waiting for the emergency services. Storm damage is estimated at tens of millions. More rain and blizzards tomorrow, followed by blizzards during the new week.
