Dave: happy new year... scottish kisses
Harris: to you too, wish you the best . Kiss from Ireland, the windy one
Dave: storm is coming to us as well. Very badly and strong
Harris: Hang on!!
Dave: do you still have a roof? candles? and bubbles??
Harris: never without them!
Dave: Bubbles help not to feel the cold and the fear..
Harris: and also, you can walk outside without noticing the wind! How is it with you?
Dave: all trees are down, the tide is so high that there is no more peer, frightful really, but we're fine
Harris: i hope you'll be able to come next week
Dave: hope so. So far, all flights are cancelled and trains are stopped because of all those trees on the rails
Harris: Wait and see. 
Dave: at the news they said it would last at least 3 days. So, we still have a chance!
Harris: ok. See you then 
The storm is so bad that the trees are down and the transfer is impossible. It should last 3 days so Dave still plans to visit Harris next week.
