Miserable old day, waiting for my second contact, who is half an hour late coming down from Uig. Some old dear has not put postage on her letter out of Tolsta, so I have to hobble down to Balallan post office to collect it and pay the b****y fee. The enclosed self-addressed envelope was furnished with a 1st class stamp! How cynical is that. Lochs driver kindly picked me up from the P.O. for the return journey.

Not a very bright start, as I allowed the 11.09 bus to roar past. OK, I should not have been chatting to the shopkeeper. So, it’s waiting for the 4.09 service to Stornoway. A rickety old blue minibus, which rattled and shook its way the 5 miles to Balallan. Brief chat to a local there, followed by a nice run up to town. Weather today quite nice, apart from the odd shower. Very quickly roared through the library to do some urgent internet work, then went up to the big Co-op. And returned to Kershader at 6pm. It’s not quite dark, but I just don’t like the run in darkness. Had to change into the old blue bus again at Balallan. At 9 pm, a group of 3 people came in, having attended a meeting of the Park Trust down at Gravir. They are all clued up about buy-outs, so it’s nice to swap notes.
