Thursday 03/08/06

Above selection of pictures is all about the cruiseliner Astoria whose sight greeted me on rising and is still there at moment of typing, now 11.15 pm. Mrs B's son arrives off the plane to attend an exhibition in the Morven Gallery in Barvas over the weekend. Lunch is mrs B's special ministrone soup with garlic bread. I go to the library to photocopy an article from the Stornoway Gazette of 10 August 1956 about the Iolaire disaster - read the transcript. The Spanish couple had a spot of bother finding their way around Lewis - ended up 20 miles off course. Must have taken some doing. The regional press is full of reports on the health board situation, as I mentioned earlier this week. As night falls, the cruiseship is lit up nicely, and I hop out to take some pictures at 11pm. It is practically dark by then :-\

    Lovely pic of the ship and quay, last one, everything glittering in lovely night time hues...looks as tho it could be somewhere exotic, hot ..can just hear the clink clink of cut glass and the murmur of conversation. Sigh..................
