Blustery!

We left the Glen yesterday at around 1645, we waited till the wind appeared to have abated and the rain stopped lashing down and off we set. I must say although lots of trees had been uprooted and boughs broken off they had been cleared from the road by the time we got to the areas where this was happening. On the last leg of the journey we found out the Forth Road Bridge was closed to ALL traffic due to severely high winds and rain! So we had to do a detour with lots of other people and we didn't get home until 2130h!
Emptied the car, some leek quiche from the freezer 'Up North' chips, tomatoes and mushrooms for dinner, a glass of Red then bed!
Tuesday up with the Wonder Dog then back to bed for a wee while. No breakfast for Graham--he ate too late last night! so I had mine by myself. Shower and hair wash, phoned mum who is fine, made the dinner then got my things together and with the Wonder Dog set off to walk to blipcentral.
Still very blustery with rain showers, lots of trees uprooted and boughs broken off in Inverleith and Victoria parks. Had a lovely walk and Ruaridh had a play with a dog at Inverleith.
Picked up the car then over to the family's to get the tomato plants for the allotment.
Drove over, it was very windy and the raspberry cane had taken a thrashing. I couldn't do anything by myself as the ferocity of the wind was too great-- every time I thought I had got them upright it blew a 'hoolee' and they fell over again. G is going to come and help me on Saturday.
Cleared the greenhouse watered the soil then put fresh compost in situ before placing the tomato plants into it-planted nine and then watered them. They look good!
Had my lunch, then did a little weeding. Ruaridh was as good as gold.
Left and went to Asda to get some messages before going to pick Graham up.
Home had a cuppa and some biscuits. Finished dinner veggie meatballs in tomato sauce with spaghetti and salad--lovely.
Seen to one or two 'business' items. Tired to bed goodnight.
