Weather warning now 'amber' and reports on the BBC about motorists being helicoptered off The Rest and Be Thankful because of flooding.  😱  I'm still safe at home.

You are in the best place GERS.  Hard to believe what horrendous weather you are having whilst the rest of us are basking in warm sunshine. Hope it soon moves on and away from you xx

I think that everyone is OK - but loads are marooned / stuck because of floods and landslides.  I'm sort of marooned at home, can't travel more than five miles in each direction, one way is flooded and the other blocked. The only problem I have is minor , no wine in the house as I had planned to get some today at the local shop, will have to put up with a glass of gin during Strictly. There's plenty in the freezer so I won't starve.

There's a sad video of a large number of hay bales being floated out to sea at Inveraray, some poor farmer has lost his entire winter feed for his animals.

I'm so grateful that I decided to stay over in Glasgow on Thursday night rather than Friday.  Just where I had the dash cam fitted is now closed off.

All's well with me.
