Tuesday 2 September

Afternoon all, it's breezy and overcast, but as yet dry. Not complaining about 16C / 61F on the thermometer. We had a debate on the impending independence referendum (only 16 more days to go) in Stornoway Town Hall last night, with the deputy First Minister and the leader of the Labour Party in Scotland heading up the Yes and No camps respectively. Seems to have been a passionate, but controlled debate. Watched about 5 seconds of it on-line, but I know Stornoway Town Hall as a venue with very poor acoustics, and I couldn't listen to any more of it. If only because I'm heartily fed up with the subject. Roll on September 19th.
