We've had 42mm of rain the the 24 hours up to 8am this morning, and in the preceding 12 hours we had 12mm, making a total of 54mm - that's well over two inches in all. The ground is sodden, Pier Road is flooded, the burns are roaring torrents, and The Diary's second daughter has gone back to Essex shaking her head in wonder that any humans choose to live here.
The stream just along from our house, which normally ends in a pool at the top of the beach, the water soaking away through the pebbles, has cut a steep-sided gash across the beach. When this picture was taken late yesterday afternoon, an otter and two gulls were squabbling for spoils brought down by the flood.
Some of us are beginning to look around for something that might do as an Ark.
