The post calm gale.

What - in this weather? With winds still gusting at between 70 - 80 mph this is the best you'll get. The sea got to the unerring stage - the sheer energy of the wind flattens the sea. Not unlike the infamous scene in Bis the Sinkmark. All we hear in the house at the moment is the throb of the rooftiles as we watch the windows flexing. For anyone taking notes the roof has come off the newsagents in Thurso.

After morning dancing was past l went for a session with the chiropractor. I am now flat on my back and have been advised to 'go canny' (see Munroist). CMC made a vg veggie curry for tea.
