Tuesday 25 June

Brisk southerly breeze, but you can safely disregard the weatherforecast that Isles FM relayed this morning. 18 degrees C, my foot. It's more like 14C, and likely to stay there. After 2pm, the rain started, so I hope that that takes the chill out of the air. The weather forecast on the evening TV news came from the bridge of the MV Hebrides, as it sailed between Uig (Skye) and Tarbert.
