A calm and dry morning in Foxford and it looks like we will not have any rain today. We did have a few heavy downpours yesterday afternoon and they have slowed progress a little. The river was falling nicely yesterday but has actually crept up a little again overnight. Nothing major to panic about though. It is now at 1.47m at Ballylahan bridge and will start falling again very soon. Chances of success today are a lot greater than in the past few days.
