Sunday notes

Weather making threatening noises, with showerclouds around - but no rain. Which is more than can be said for Castlebay in Barra earlier this week, which had a tornado passing through. I cannot link to the video footage, but if you hop over to this section of the BBC, you may get it. It blew some henhouses up the hill, overturned the odd fueltank, but otherwise did not cause major damage or injury.

On the same site, you may find the story of the man whose car started making funny noises. A look under the bonnet revealed a ginger kitten, crawling amidst the innards of the vehicle. He is now in better hands, and may be rehomed later next week.

Japan should be on the lookout for typhoon Usagi. That system is currently 'only' a tropical storm over the northern Marianas islands, but is expected to blow up into a category 3 to 4 typhoon as it veers towards Tokyo. Aye, that city might get an unwelcome visitor, with winds of more than 100 mph. Will keep you posted, it is too far off to make accurate forecasts.

    Take care..

  2. I was surprised to look at my front window this morning and see raindrops falling on the street.  I'm happy actually, I weeded my row of Knock Out roses yesterday evening and was going to water them but was too tired to drag the hose out front.  It looks like Mother Nature was awatering them while I slept.  But the weathercast shows temps up to 80* by Tuesday so this little bit of rain won't last long.
