A wet and miserable Monday, which sees mrs B's son return to Glasgow by ferry, bus and train. Monitor the ferry's progress on AIS; also notice the tug Anglian Sovereign heading north past the Shiant Isles, to turn up here at 3.30. She departs shortly afterwards. Nip into Somerfields for some food, and keep otherwise not very busy. During the evening, the wind slowly picks up. Dinner is chicken korma, whilst mrs B has a madras, which is much spicier. Magnus Magnusson, of Matermind fame, died yesterday at the age of 77. Mrs B commences a clear-out of all the old stuff. A row blows up in Orkney after a registrar is forbidden from conducting a same-sex marriage; it can only take place in the islands' capital, Kirkwall. One of the men is the Master of the Queen's Music, and he is so annoyed that he calls for a tourists' boycott of the Orkney. OTT.
