Monday evening

I'm glad I managed to convince Katie to stay, in part due to the response to my appeal. Only goes to show, doesn't it. The Motivator was brought to my attention by Sugar and Helen, both ladies thank you very much.

It's a dreadful evening here in Stornoway, pouring with rain and a strong wind, which gusts up to force 9 at times. When I came back from Somerfields (our local supermarket), I couldn't proceed against the wind. Went up the backstreets instead, to have a bit of shelter.

Spare a thought for the passengers on the cruiseliner Astor, which is hovering outside port. They have spent a miserable day touring the island, and are now being ferried back on board in wee boats across a decidedly choppy harbour. Furthermore, the ferry is due back this evening. It should have left Ullapool half an hour ago, but I'm not spotting it on AIS.

  2. We desperately need some of that rain over here right now. I don't like to be out on choppy water even when fishing. Helen

  3. Hi !!!!!!!!!

    I am so very happy to hear that Katie is staying. I get a chance to get to know her through her journal. From visiting her journal she seems like a very sweet and interesting person. I am glad that she changed her mind. Its nice to know that she will be staying around. I am also very happy that you mentioned her journal because I didn't know about her journal until recently. I feel that she has a place here at J-Land. I definitely want her around. Thanks for sharing this entry. Take care.
