Forecast says heavy rain which should clear away the snow I hope tho' not started yet. Bitterly cold Southerly wind and as I have to keep some fixed ventilation as I have solid fuel heating in one room the wind tends to blow in and makes it colder.
The ones in the holiday house opposite are 3 men in new looking high viz outfits with 2 vehicles. On Sunday they set up what looked like surveying gear with a short antenna on top which was set up in a precise direction and left there all day with a flashing light. Another one seemed to be set up on the other side of the house. Yesterday they set off with new looking but serious cold weather outfits. Any French telecommunication companies? Many supposedly UK companies are foreign owned anyway.
There are attempts to get bits of our airspace shut down to allow for drone usage which is much resisted by the flying community. Suspicions are easily aroused.
People often come to places like this and assume we are all a bunch of hicks so can be easily overawed. Bad mistake as many are highly educated in all sorts of fields and have travelled widely so not going to be browbeaten by anybody.

Interesting..
Is it a circular antenna?
I've watched a summit being surveyed and the equipment was left for around an hour, strange doing it back and front unless surveying levels, the old deflection move by wearing hi viz, no? make it look official.
Tell the council
Is this to do with Droneprep and intentions to deliver stuff on the island?

It was a straight antenna about 3ft long. It looked as if it was being lined up with the main radio masts 2 or 3 miles awayInteresting..

These guys did not look like ordinary land surveyors somehow and were all dressed in the same outfits.
There is an empty rocky field almost opposite my house which belongs apparently to somebody who lives in Australia but seems difficult to contact. Myself and another neighbour tried to get part of the field for car parking but failed to get any response. The fear is that it may get a house or houses built on it and spoil our view as well as interfere with car parking so anybody surveying is regarded with suspicion.
The drone thing talked about is to deliver anything but currently medical supplies are being emphasised to here and to Coll and Tiree. It has been pointed out by objectors that we already have adequate supply chains and there is an air ambulance and helicopter on call if required.

The rain has arrived, as foretold. Snow being cleared by mother nature.
That usually happens when you've spent the best part of the previous day clearing it.
You get the sunshine that was foretold as well?
