Year's End

Well, we're into the last few days of 2006. It's very dark now, even during "daylight" hours. Went for a drive round the West Side this afternoon, will publish pictures later today. Had to put the camera on shortest possible exposure all the time due to low light. Nonetheless, am not dissatisfied with outcome.

I am once again saddened to see people pushed into a situation where they have to go private with their blogs. It seems to be affecting those in J-land who are in most need of support.

I have snagged a few graphics from Donna to cheer up this entry. Yes, it's all lighthouse. One of my outside blogs is called Arnish Lighthouse, and I look out on that particular lighthouse. I would also like to use it to attempt to light up those amongst us who are going through a dark phase at the moment. Both J-landers, as well as those reading the blog (unkindly referred to as lurkers). You know who you are. Aye, like everybody else, there are things in my life I do not mention on here.

What I write on here is related to what it says at the top. To give the wider world an insight into the small community of the Isle of Lewis. In addition, I relay news items from the north and west of Scotland, and things that hold my interest. People do not feature heavily in it, and are rarely referred to by full names. In addition, I write certain entries because of what I read in others' blogs. Yesterday's Christmas Gloom entry was intended in that vein. Yes, I write as a J-lander.

Although it's only December 28th, and there are still 3 full days left of this year, I would like to wish Scots at home and in diaspora a good Hogmanay; those that let off fireworks please take care; and all a prosperous and healthy 2007.
