Tuesday 17 March

Another sunny day in Stornoway, although the actual temperature is still low, 7 degrees this afternoon. Behind glass, it feels a lot warmer. You feel the chill when you're outside in the wind. Visibility is very good, as I can clearly see the hills of Applecross Forest [no trees there by the way] some 60 miles to the southeast across the Minch.

I am currently trying to get Windows Vista Service Pack 1 installed on this computer. It doesn't show up on the Automatic Updates list, so I have asked Microsoft for help. Can't find anything useful on the web, apart from downloading the 434MB stand-alone version. The A.U. version is 45MB, so if I can get and spare my broadband traffic cap, that would be great.

  1. I didn't know vista had a service pack. I'm going to have to check into that one now. It is a beautiful warm day here for us and such a blessing. 3 days in a row. We'll get cooler later in the week and back to normal again. Hope your day is a good one.

  3. 7° is really cold! We are much warmer here at a sunny 75° today! I love the photo that you have on the top of your blog. It looks like a great place to sit and think!

  4. I'm still wary of Vista. I am about to buy a new laptop and would like to have it with XP, but I don't know if I can get it on there.
