Saturday 1 May

A brilliantly sunny day with a steady northeasterly breeze, keeping the temperatures in single figures. We're under warning for a slight overnight frost. Went into the town centre this morning, and ran into the two main candidates for next Thursday's general election, trying to win votes. I managed to get past without a balloon, which was being handed out to the younger passers-by. Perceval Square is being dug up, meaning that the public toilets are closed, the trees chopped down and four callboxes uprooated. Hope it's worth the upheaval; will post pictures when I get them.

This afternoon, I went to Point with someone in a car, visiting the villages of Knock, Swordale, Garrabost, Shulishader, Sheshader and Portvoller.
