Default SW flooding

Spent the day clearing up and mopping up after yesterday's floods.
House ok but garage is about a metre lower, and well flooded.
We now have ready mixed Molly Chaff for the horse, though I'm not
sure if he'll appreciate 16+ in a paste form!
Don't have a gauge, but reports from Dundrennan suggest that we
probably had 70 or 80mm over Thursday and Friday.

Stunning today though, with a good drying wind.
The same wind has apparently bought an excellent start to the UK's
premier windsurfing event, the Tiree Wave Classic, part of the world
series.
Steady 20kts or so with plenty of sunshine and warm(ish) seas.
Tomorrow looks similar, though deteriorating.
