Thursday 16 August

A slightly cloudier day, although the sun came back following the passage of a shearline at lunchtime. The wind also abated after midday. We once more managed 20C / 68F this afternoon. Yesterday's wildfire is held to be suspicious, as people were seen in the Strawberry Hill area at the time the blaze started.

I have continued to transfer some of my bit.ly links to diigo.com. I find that most of the shortened links related to local news stories, with one or two others of interest. I have passed information on a diigo.com group for the Outer Hebrides to the archivists of the local council, who will advise further on how to expand the group - this currently only has six members, and its founder is no longer in post.

I'll close this post with some of yesterday's pics.
