It is a bright morning with no wind and beautiful cloudscapes, which you can view on the webcam for the next 4 hours or so. Sun sets at 4pm here at the moment. My vantage point is so good that I just spotted a gent hopping out of his car to take a picture of the view across the water to the lighthouse. It's cold outside, only 3C at the moment.
Valerie reminded us that the trial of the suspect in the Ipswich murders case commences today. He is a chap of 49 who stands accused of the murder of five prostitutes around Ipswich (eastern England) more than a year ago. The case was very high profile, until the police collared their suspect.
During 2007, I carried a logo for the Highland Year of Culture 2007 in my sidebar. If truth be known, we have seen very little of it in the islands. The only thing that springs to mind was a guided tour to the Shawbost Norse Mill and Kiln in July. Last weekend, they blasted £300,000 ($600k) worth of fireworks into the nightsky over Inverness as a grand finale. Major complaints were raised over this 'waste'. 
My gosh, 600K in fireworks sound like a bit of overkill!! Must have been quite a display.
