Brilliantly sunny morning - deceptively so, as force 10 winds are forecast for the Outer Hebrides (my neck of the woods) for tonight. Our Italian guests were due to leave on the early ferry, which was cancelled, but they will now depart at 1.45pm.
Local news did not mention the imminent closure of one of the prawn processing plants in Stornoway. Stornoway Shellfish, which employs 14, is located outside the busstation but has not had deliveries of shellfish from local boats for 3 weeks. It had allegedly failed to keep up payments to said boats..
Have to say I once more enjoyed last night's journals chat, this time without disruptive or rude elements.

ReplyDeleteHang onto your wooly hat this evening Guido when the winds arrive.
ReplyDeleteIts bitterly cold here in the Lakes too. At last I don't have to keep the light on all day. We have blue clear skies and sunshine.....worth having to put up with the cold.
What a shame that the Shellfishmongers have let the fishermen down. I wonder why?
More worries for folks before Christmas. Life is hard up your way.

I will have to check out the chat one of these days....June:)
ReplyDeleteSunny here too but verrrrrry cold. Was up during the night turning on a dribble of water in the sinks to keep them from freezing. At almost 10am, still only 27*. Happy to hear the chat room was free of jerks. Linda in Washington state
