I am profoundly saddened to read the notice in the
Stornoway Gazette that the Royal British Legion Lewis Branch will only
be able to supply their own wreath to the Remembrance Sunday event at
the Lewis War Memorial in November. Everyone else will have to procure
their own wreaths. I would like to ask my local contacts whether it
would be an idea to mount a collection (on line?) for the Legion. The
fact that their announcement comes on the centenary of the First World
War makes it even more unpalatable.
Dark shower clouds surround us, but here the sun is
out. No, we're not escaping scot-free, but it's not too bad. Was in town
earlier, quite busy. Bank holiday weekend is upon us - the second one
this month in Scotland.
Tried to boost my laptop's performance with some extra
memory. Well, the machine did recognise that there was now 1789 MB on
board, but responded by not starting Windows, and even when it did
start, it crashed with a very pretty blue screen with some decidedly
1980s lettering, telling me the system had been shut down. So, the
memory chips are heading back to the supplier.
