MV Muirneag sails into port at 8.40, with all of TWO lorries on board.
Apparently, nobody wants to travel on the poor old girl anymore, sniff.
The SFPA boat [Scottish Fishery Protection Agency] leaves at the same
time. The fire extinguisher chap is back with us this week, as are two
gents from the insulation company. Today dawns dark and later on it
turns drizzly. The lights have to stay on over breakfast. Late tomorrow
the fun will start, as they're forecasting a snowstorm in the
afternoon. It's so dark this morning, that I'm having the lights on at
9.30 to write this. Typical for late November. A drizzle sets in late
in the morning. A heavy drizzle sets in at 10, which persists into the
afternoon. Mrs B's sister calls in later that morning and her son is in
for lunch. A lot of work is required for maintenance on the house.
Discover the weblog of a family who moved to North Lochs in 2003 from
the UK Mainland. The usual litany of problems. Our tanker, the Border
Heather, leaves port at 3.30. Visibility is so poor that I can barely
discern her going past Green Island. At dusk, I go to Somerfields for
my shopping. Lottery ticket was a waste of good money, as they usually
are. Nice supper from mrs B.
