Water water everywhere

Last Thursday we were warned about Hurricane Abigail.  The first wind to be formally named by the MET office.  Starting with 'A'  Abigail (A Big Gale - geddit?) .  This made me laugh.  If we name all the big winds in Scotland we will be at Zebedee by December !

People stayed at home Thursday night .... I braved the elements for a band rehearsal, and there was no hurricane!  However since then we have rain by the bucket load.  Localised flooding...the works !

No 3 had a diving trial today with a number of her school friends.  A wet and windy trip to the Commonwealth Pool for a morning of gymnastics, trampoline exercises and diving all to assess their ability.

A double edged sword though....I would like her to do well, but she already has a full schedule of after school events.  We would struggle to fit in another.  We will see what transpires.
