What a totally frustrating day.
Miserable weather with storms and lashing rain. Got caught in two road closures. Electricity supply has been cut all day, which also meant no 'phone calls or Internet access.
Power, and thus Internet, now restored, but, still no 'phone calls. I needed to make some online purchases, but, couldn't receive the verification codes by SMS.
Aaaarrrrgggghhhh!
A note for any city folk thinking "what's the problem with road closures, just take another route".
In rural areas we have so few trunk roads that closures can mean alternative routes are enormously long. Not so long ago the A82 road was closed just two miles from my house. The suggested "diversion" route was back down the A82, across to the A9, up to Inverness, and then back down the A82 to my house. A distance of about two hundred miles. I dumped the car, and walked.

Electricity supply, Internet access and mobile 'phone reception have all returned to normal operation. Not entirely sure about all the roads.
It does feel like I've rejoined the 21st century (for now). 😃

No, I was lucky, thanks. Some stuff blown about, but, that was it.
How are things in Glasgow?
