Pouring rain and very windy. The forecast for wind strengths this week are the worst I have seen.
Calmac cancelled the 1400 sailing from Oban today and the corresponding return for unspecified reasons.
They wait until the panic has died down as everybody has rescheduled their journeys and cancelled or altered appointments. The sailing is then reinstated. Normal island life.

If 6 Was 9
If don't get it done in January and February, it won't get done at all..........but it's not spring!Well that's my excuse anyway.
Just booked our first 2 trips for this year, so that's one month away sorted.

Just got an email from DVLA. I sold my motorhome but my outstanding tax was not refunded after 8 weeks so started agitating. They now will look into the matter and expect a reply in 6 weeks. Six weeks to check if a payment has been sent and if not get it sorted! Have they only got one person doing the whole country or what?

Wild here at the moment too. Supposed to ease by mid afternoon so might at least get another walk. Which island are you on?

Good morning - It's dry here but rain is expected later. I just got back from the allotment having put some log-roll bordering around what will be the new strawberry bed. We'll be getting a silver in the 'tidy allotment' awards this year at this rate. 
It was bronze last year.

Might be a bumpy flight judging by wind speeds on Lerwick.

Mo I have lived on Mull for nearly 50 years now and while we probably have more expectations nowadays we have a better service than we had then tho’ there was not the same volume of traffic. My job involved among other things arranging the transport of large lorries with not the infrastructure to deal with them. Interesting times and I could probably write a book similar to the Para Handy tales.

Oldham has an airport!!
Nose gear is the quickest to retract, but you tend to get more room. Why didn't you buy a genuine ticket?

A tad breezy out there today, but hard-won miles are worth more in the bank though surely?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Good afternoon. Back from shopping and bill paying. Wet and windy here now.
