Hatches battened down for what the weathermen say is going to be the stormiest night in Scotland for over 10 years. Looks like being really rough (even Hurricane force 12) north of a line from Mull to Wick. The BBC shipping forcast is posted as follows: ROCKALL MALIN HEBRIDES WEST OR SOUTHWEST STORM 10 TO HURRICANE FORCE 12, CYCLONIC AT FIRST IN HEBRIDES, DECREASING 7 TO SEVERE GALE 9 LATER. RAIN OR SQUALLY SHOWERS. MODERATE OR POOR. Here, it has been very windy, but also incredibly mild (the wind seemed to be blowing almost exactly from the south). Only now is it starting to turn wintry. Drove to and from work in the dark today so nothing to report.

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
