Here we are on Sunday night, reflecting on a busy week. Someone said that there was not a lot to do on Rona………..Aye right!!!!! This is part 1.

Here’s a mixed bag from the last week or so

I guess it is all about the weather and this horrible spell finally passing, but not for long. Lots going on, fuel was low so that was priority, you have to keep on top of stocks, if not, there will be issues later on in the year if foul weather continues. But swift action just now means we are looking good.

Amazing how the sun brings the yachties out and here is Roaring Meg, a non payer but once I finish this I will email Stornoway Harbour, where they are hiding out and suggest they pay up.

The road conditions are not great, Lewisian Gneiss is very hard if not the hardest. So things suffer but it does help if grease is packed into brand new bearings whewn they are fitted!!!!

The internet is always needing tweeks and the bothy/free WiFi was playing up. A bit of a mystery to me but I get it working with help from Ian Bolas and Marc Smith of Hebnet.

Ewen has been struggling with trips and no wonder, the weather in August was surely the worst ever.

Finally a dram on a poor day after a job is welcome, plus an optic in the larder will maybe stop the ‘House’ drams I pour up there during the stalking.

Happy Days.
