Thursday 27 February

Morning all from Stornoway, where the weather is very changeable this morning. Plenty of showers (when are we getting our radar back?!). I am currently unable to locate our ferry MV Isle of Lewis on AIS, but she is due to return to Liverpool for further repairs. Been up since half past five this morning (don't ask), so that will catch up with me at some stage today. Done a few more searches on Hebridean Connections.

The woman who kept a horse in her living room returned home this morning - to find that the equine had been removed to a more suitable location. A stables in Benbecula. This made national news headlines.

An interesting day from a point of view of weather. As I type this (10pm), a rogue shower is passing through, whilst the rest of Lewis is ogling the Aurora Borealis. The day did start wet as well, but cleared up to heavy showers, which gradually faded in the second half of the afternoon. Gorgeous cloudscapes.
