Friday notes

I'm typing this slightly cross-eyed, as I didn't really see my bed until 4 am this morning. One of our guests took ill, and had to be taken to hospital. An ambulance was not required, but I had to guide the car driver (who had come to stay with the other person) through the town. Being continental, they were unfamiliar with right-hand drive cars, driving on the left, roundabouts and the intricacies of Stornoway's roadsystem in general. The hospital is a mile and a half to the north of here, past four roundabouts if you take the shortest route.

The guest is currently in hospital, kept in overnight for observations. You'll understand that I will not go into further details, not on the Water's Edge blog either.

I walked back from the hospital, which takes me half an hour, through totally deserted streets. I encountered two cars and two pedestrians. In the daytime, people and cars fairly throng the streets of this town.

I took the pictures above on the way back, which shows Stornoway on a wet night.
