Headed for Stornoway in a strange alternation between fog, drizzle and sunshine. Updated the weblog, photocopied material for the project and sent it off to Holland, and also filled a box with 3.4kg of books &c for posting. £14 in postage! Lunch at HS1, after getting myself some more reading fodder. My letter is published in the Stornoway Gazette, asking for relatives of Lewis servicemen who were interned in Groningen, Holland, between 1914 and 1918. Weather remains iffy on the way back. A huge recycling bank has sprouted outside Ravenspoint, blocking the exit from the adjacent Kershader Centre. Nice one. Sunset times race ahead, it’s at 4.37 today. It’s fairly bright, like it was overnight when the moonlight woke me up again. Watched Tir is Teanga, Eorpa  and the Auschwitz Memorial service. Difficult viewing. Drizzle set to continue. As the forecast is usually wrong, tomorrow’s weather should be interesting. Today’s temperature in Lewis +8C, in Rome, Italy, it was only +6, and Mallorca had snow.
