It's all happening here you know. where i say here i don't actually mean here in the village [although the bin lorry did come round this morning] but in our small capital Stormoway.
As you may be able to see someone walking IN THE SUNSHINE. Doesn't happen too often and not today especially as it's a minor howling outside. [it was inside briefly the other day when the roof sprung a leak but that seems to have resolved itself I think.]
In the village nothing much has happened to be honest.
You may have noticed if you look back at the non blurry snaps on here that I rather like curves. road, walls and what have you. Anyway, here's one i like.
At last after countless months without a working leci meter, another has been fitted. Not before Eve wrote to an MP up here.
Anyway, I can confirm that the leci stuff seems much smoother than before although seemingly making the meter go around at a previously unseen rate.
Such is the excitement of my life at present I may have dozed off for a few days.
On my return I bring you a boat. There's a lot of boat up here.
Some time ago I had a rush of blood to the head and lashed out a little bit of money for a Minolta A3 rangefinder camera that was made in the year of my birth. EG; a long time ago.
I took it out for a little jaunt the other day and again it surprised me that even in my hands the results are quite good for such a simple camera. I must use it more.
Sorry, not been keeping going of late.
I'm still active here so please bear with me while I reboot.
Meanwhile another "I went so you don't have to " snap.
I'd heard about these ferocious dwarf elephants that had taken up residence in the locality so I thought I'd track them down.
Taking untold risks I found the beasts lurking round The Croft down t'road looking lean, mean and..... rather small. Shaken at the risks I was taking with these beasts, unprotected as I was - except for the fence and their apparent friendliness, I moved carefully. The beasts immediately charged at me and nuzzled my outstretched hand. I had no food but this beast with two trunks on top of his head posed for his portrait. Politely.
I may have misjudged him.
However, today I took a short stroll in the sunshine with Toots after we'd cheered on Eve and others at the Stornoway lawn bowls club women's championship where she gave the last winner a run for her money in the semis. Lovely day out.
