Tuesday notes

Mornin' all, from a very windy Stornoway. It's cloudy, but as yet dry. Next week should see even windier weather, when a former tropical depression turns into a deep Atlantic low to haunt our shores with winds in excess of force 10 on the Beaufort scale.

The body of a woman, found in South Uist, has provisionally identified as that of the missing German tourist Sara Lodhi. Formal confirmation is yet to follow. Police are still investigating what happened to Ms Lodhi, and how she came to be two islands and one stretch of sea away from her accommodation.

Last week, I mentioned that cannabis contributed to psychotic illnesses; well, it was confirmed that smoking one pot cigarette equates to smoking 5 ordinary fags. Anyone need any further proof that cannabis is harmful? Read more here.

  1. I'm already quite convinced of the idiocy of smoking cannibis sativa.  This isn't a populist view esp with those in chronic pain who swear by it, or those w/glaucoma who do the same.  Decades of research are just too compelling about the harm of excessive use.  As for weather, we're having about the same as yours, cloudy & dry but expecting rain (according to the ubitquitous "them") Stay well xo CATHY

  2. Not only does it harm the lungs in vicous ways, it's a mind altering drug as well. Eventually it numbs your thinking and response rate permanently. (Hugs) Indigo
