Saturday 20/05/06

Bright morning with shower clouds, which do not give much rain. Breakfast at 8.40, in the company of the two Germans who want fish for their breakfast - so they get fish every morning of their 4 night stay. The two workmen are also still around, so mrs B has got a lot of dishes to wash - five people's. Muirneag comes in at 10, the Coastguard tug Anglian Prince at 11.45, just as the sun comes out. The afternoon has some nice weather. I go to Somerfields for papers and food. The Lottery draw, later that evening, gets interrupted by protestors on the studio floor. The main concern for the presenters was to get everything over before the Eurovision Song Contest. Big deal. It stays light until 1 am - i.e., it does not get dark.

  2. No Northern Lights at present, the sun is at the minimum of its 11-year activity cycle. You can leave it to mrs B, she doesn't blink at a dish or two lol

  5. I spent a summer in Norway years ago. It never got dark then either.  It was so strange to me to be out at the lake until 10pm!
