Cloudy morning, but a lot better than the gales and rain they're having
down in England. Decide to visit Barvas tomorrow, in order to put a
limit on the duration of my visit. The lady in question will only be in
during the morning. Not an awful lot doing today. Go out to get all the
Thursday papers, which don't have a lot to report. Apart from that
horrendous story of the OAP who killed a cat, only two streets away.
Why? He had been visiting a friend, who complained that the animal had
given her a rash. He promised that he'd "sort" the cat. By kicking it
and putting it in a pillow case to whack it against a wall a few times.
The poor dumb animal didn't survive this. The police were called by
neighbours who were woken by the disturbance at 5 a.m.. They found the
body of the cat and tell-tale signs of what had happened. The man, aged
66, was arrested and is now serving a 4 months' jail sentence. He has
also been banned for 10 years from keeping animals. Very unpleasant.
After updating the website, I heard of a rescue going on 200 miles west
of Benbecula. A man had been crushed by a 2 tonne door. The coastguard
yanked a local GP off a scheduled flight and took him on the
helicopter. This had to refuel at Benbecula before setting off into the
Atlantic. Bought a microwave meal for mrs B and myself, which went down
a treat.
