When did Doris become a comedy name? Is it all down to Doris Day? Most classical Greek names have a certain fizz to them but Doris is as flat as week old lemonade.

Anyway, Storm Doris is here. Winds of 94 mph have been recorded and commensurate damage done, but not locally, I think. Here it just got a bit noisy. Later I'll have a stroll round the fields to see if anything substantial has been broken. We were expecting Julia to come and do some gardening but she's stayed away; sensible woman.

I meant South-West, actually...

I've booked two weeks in Wigtown in Galloway - https://www.airbnb.com/rooms/7908227 - and I rather look forward to seeing the South-West since I mainly know Aberdeenshire. (I don't think I've ever been further south than Glasgow, actually!)

(Also: Me messing up East and West bodes well for when I have to drive down to Wigtown from Glasgow Airport... Who knows where I'll end up? Maybe back in Aberdeen?)
