Tropical cyclone Melanie is staying offshore from Western Australia, and poses no threat. The system is a strong tropical storm, but will weaken, even more so when it hits cool ocean waters as it drifts west. Other tropical disturbances are dotted around the Indian Ocean, and there is one in the mid Atlantic. This poses no threat to land either.
This container is thought to have fallen overboard from a ship and has washed ashore at Stinky Bay in Benbecula, 80 miles south of Stornoway. Nobody knows what is in it, although it's probably empty. It stands 27 metres (90 feet) high. Stinky Bay is the local name for a beach where seaweed tends to aggregate and rot, creating a bad smell.
It looks like an ailen space ship. All the ailens have escaped and are busy planting daffodils in everyone's yards. Don't step on them..Linda in WA
