A storm

La PAlma’s been on red-alert for winds and rain. The worst of the storm seems to be over, although we’re still getting strong gusts of wind and intermittent heavy rain.

Schools were closed today, and we’re waiting for word on whether there’ll be open tomorrow. Yoga was cancelled.

The cats’ paws out at sea are almost back to normal size again. This morning they were more like tigers’ paws.

But we did get a marvellous rainbow.
