Is it going to rain?  Thursday night they forecast a lot of rain but it ended up only a couple of mm here.  Now they're wriggling out of the forecast for tomorrow and it looks like another spit in the wind.  I hear Cumbria got a good amount and should get more, so there'll be something to drink for a few more weeks.

Wasn't there a fire in a nuclear plant last night in the UK? The Suffolk coast or somewhere over that way? It was said there was no danger and all staff were evacuated safely - But they would say that, wouldn't they. ???

Surely you can find something more interesting than water to drink Ian? :D

Gardens open in Dunblane today. What's the Weather today? Storm-force winds; thunder and lightening and torrential rain. My bed-time reading is "The Worst Journey in the World" by Apsley Cherry-Garrard just to prove the weather could be worse!

 We had a segment from Dunblane about the open gardens on the Beechgrove Potting Shed today.... Denise Glass had been down to interview some of the women involved earlier in  the week.  We were thinking it might be a bit stormy but here in Aberdeen so far we've just had some squally showers with gusty winds..... trees in some danger, no doubt-  but only little pieces and leaves torn off around here.
