And all the poor folk who have been flooded out with the worry of further flood. Orkney seems to have had a bit of flooding but mostly roads so little damage to homes I think.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-80025477057953719572012-12-23T18:59:55.447+00:002012-12-23T18:59:55.447+00:00Ugh - dealing with dust must be horrid.

I did worry about her last night as she was determined to get out to "do the necessary" fortunately she manages to find a sheltered spot and came back fairly quickly - though I had trouble shutting the door behind her!!<br /><br />PS - haven't forgotten the photo - hoping to catch up on stuff over the Xmas break!Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-69519304445631314422012-12-23T16:33:38.585+00:002012-12-23T16:33:38.585+00:00We have winds here too.

But I was worried about flying debris etc. But all was ok so that's good. Some fields flooded and large puddles everywhere but otherwise we got off lightly on Graemsay. More floods on Orkney Mainland though I think.Sianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15086990153239265950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-63498384548311448042012-12-23T00:35:20.148+00:002012-12-23T00:35:20.148+00:00Looking at the weather forecasts, I've been th...Looking at the weather forecasts, I've been thinking of you!

Had a right old dust storm. Wind here doesn't disrupt life all that much, though, as we are 600 miles inland. Thoughts and prayers to all the weather-battered people in the UK. Maybe you should tether Button to something heavy before you let her out so she doesn't blow away?WOLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775462248193876148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-496522256748038434.post-19418799745825332742012-12-22T21:41:11.953+00:002012-12-22T21:41:11.953+00:00wow, hope the house is well anchored ! :)hold on !...wow, hope the house is well anchored ! :)hold on !Babzy.Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08726884546505964576noreply@blogger.com
