Monday 03/04/06

Nice sunny morning, but snow has fallen overnight on the tops of the Arnish hills, above 50m. Skye also had snow, according to a report on Metcheck. The weather goes right down the pan at lunchtime, with a hailshower, followed by a prolongued shower of sleet, snow and rain. Once it moves away, after 2, great cloudscapes remain. Went into town to buy another display folder, in which a copy of the Iolaire names will be placed for the Western Isles Museum. Mrs B expects her new washing machine tomorrow, so the boiler house (in which it resides) is given the once over. Three guests expected tonight: one is the chap who stayed here last week. He teaches flooring at the Castle College. The others are two ladies who are expected off the 8pm ferry.

The Dating Extravaganza did draw a genuine visitor, a poor soul had come all the way from Iowa, in search of a lonely heart. Oh my god. Whether this was actually true or not cannot be verified. He was advised to read Arnish Lighthouse blog (very informative) and have a look round the place now that he was here at any rate. A Dutch lassie couldn't make head nor tail of the whole spoof, but she was quickly put in the picture by Calumannabel.

Any further events tonight will be printed in a separate entry

  1. Hello. I,ve been looking at your site for a while since you told me about it , following an enquiry I put on the Hebrides site. Enjoy logging in and seeing what has been happening!


    Can't wait to be off on our cycling trip up the islands at the end of May. Have also found the Metcheck site you feature on here great and pretty accurate in predicting the weather on recent camping trips I've been on.

    Best wishes
