Sunday 24 August

Breezy but sunny / bright, with the odd shower in the distance. Yesterday, I went to the Butt of Lewis and the Callanish Stones, showing one of the guests round. The southeasterly wind was strong, and went up to galeforce by the end of the afternoon. Had to hold on to the Stones at one point - then the rain came. Could show the guest the phenomenon of horizontal rain.

I only made the chat quite late last night; I hope everyone that wanted to join was able to, and that a good time was had by all.

  3. We've finally been getting some rain here, too.  Color me happy.  Now if it would get about 20 degrees cooler......

  4. We're supposed to get rain here today but so far sunny & a little cloudy at 10am.  I asked about you when I logged into the chat room but they told me you had been there & gone.  I was mowing the front lawn and missed you by about 20 minutes. I was happy to meet Bucko & luvrte66 and have added their journals to my alerts.  Have a lovely evening Guido...Linda in WA
