When I do the next daily observations this time tomorrow, hopefully the worst of that nasty rough weather should be over the North Sea. But until then, hope our Scottish friends will weather (as so to speak) the stormy stuff with minimum problems. I'll be thinking of you guys as I follow the event with a mixture of concern and interest.
