Sunday 29/05/05

Today was spent in idle sloth, apart from writing an acerbic letter to the Free Press. This was in response to a report in last week's edition, which recounted some of the utterances by local councillors re the Lewis windfarms. So, if you stop the grouse shoots, this should offset the effects of the windfarms - because they have an adverse effect on what they eat! Grubs, heathershoots??? The £16m being pledged towards the South Lochs economy will only benefit those that have subscribed to Nick Oppenheim's Muaitheabhal [Muyaval] trust. I just do not believe that the Free Press blindly swallows all this crap. 80% of people in north Lewis are opposed to the windfarms. Anyway, had my dinner served by mrs B, again. The weather was wet to start with, but cleared up later on. It was not fully dark at 1 a.m.
