-- a 3.9 m tide [normal spring tide] ---- looks like it was pushed to a 5
ish - floated a 12x 10 shed across a field and into a fence. !!! we have
had waves lapping across our fields -- not seen in 14 years. Hopefully will
find out the last time in the next week or so. Its been interesting
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- too interesting

joy oh joy -- tomorrows tide is a 4.2 !!! [ highish springs here]
with somebodies luck we will not have too much behind it by then

We have already lost a polytunnel cover -- damn

Its seems to be into standard howling gale now -- just the sort of night you
don't sleep but not the sort you fear

Hope others are okay --- I understand those who hate this -- I am with you
there
Not much sleep to be had here - despite all applications :~)

There was an "almost live" report from Oban not long ago on Newsnight
- John Morrison. The sea behind him looked pretty wild with huge
breakers crashing over the sea wall and lots of blowing spray, the
road was flooded and some houses, too. His report reminded me of those
live reports the US TV stations often broadcast when hurricanes make
landfall!

Good luck up there tonight to one and all. We've basked in 11 to 12
degree C temperatures and wind speeds a paltry half of those seen in
Western Scotland today. Wet too, but at least it was mild
