It's volunteer day in town, so around midday I go out to have a look. The police are recruiting special constables and put up a demo in how to deal with aggressive people. Bystanders are allowed to bash a well-padded man with padded baseball bats. Have a chat in the townhall with people from Uig about beach cleaning. Sounds as if that happened earlier in the year. Also have a word with a lady from local radio station Isles FM. Its star presenter, Kenny There you go MacLeod is hosting a show from the townhall. Finally, I head for the coastguard station. Nobody is there to see me, although I'm allowed in. All out for lunch? Ring them up later to report the whale that's been rotting outside South Dell for the last 4 months.
Once back at Mrs B's, I play the Isles FM CD Langass (that's a village in North Uist) and read the Uig Recipe book. Later in the day, two Dutch guests arrive, one of whom was a colleague of a close relative of mine. Have a bit of a chat with them, and continue that once they return from a night out in the pub. They bring a fiddle and melodeon, and accompany me on the keyboard until nearly 2 a.m.. It's getting light again by that hour...
