    We will always be OK in flood weather Romos.We are on top of a small mountain.It would take a flood of biblical proportions to get to us.But thanks mate.The weather sounds quite balmy in Bonny Scotland for this time of year.

    Time to go to Plan B, Tommy: Brave the rain to the nearest liquor store and get yourself a couple of bottles of wine (a white and a red). Take a warm shower and sink your clean body on the couch preferably with the love of your life and just ignore the rest of the world for a couple of days.

            You and your rain . Who needs it. We have dust and sand storms, winds blowing yesterday 70 mph. When it rains the weeds and tumble weeds grow. Then you have to mow. Never had to mow last spring - summer long.  Less than 3 inches rain last year here in west texas. Now last two months 18 inches snow. No mosquitos. Do you have mosquitos ?

              Do we have mosqitos??? man we have the mother of all mozzies.
              The local council does a pretty good job of spraying them but a few get thru it.
              We are in a sub-tropical zone so there will always be mozzies to some extent.
              Some summers are worse than others.

              We had rain here yesterday in the middle of winter. Unheard of. There was some snow on the ground and its very slippery right now.Tommy, as long as you are not in a flood zone, you schould be alright. Hopefully it wont last too long.

                Stay safe Tommyh! Weather has been extreme in several places. Tornadoes in SE states last night. Almost unheard of in winter.
