Wednesday 20 August

A thorougly wet and unremarkable day. The cable-laying ship Rene Descartes departed for the Isle of Mull after finishing laying cables across the Minch. We are due to get fibre-optic broadband in 2016, giving us much faster internet access. As my camera remains unoperational, I am not having fun finding a replacement. It's called not seeing the forest for the trees.
