Day 175 - 9:58am, 25 June 2019
Yesterday was a day of flash flooding, but being at work and on a course, I managed to miss it all. As a result, today the Water of Leith is more than double its usual height. It is an impressive sight. I only wish I had seen it in full throttle and been able to take a picture then. The grass on the island has been flattened by the water coursing over it, leaving behind a pile of debris on the island's solitary tree. The more established tree that normally stands proud on the riverbank finds itself marooned, with water round all sides and a stash of debris caught round its trunk. The water continues to push its way forward at such a rate that I could swear I felt seasick. I wonder how long it will take to return to its usual state.
