Evening notes

We had galeforce winds for a few hours, although the worst appears to be over. Walking in galeforce winds means that it is difficult to go in the direction you want to on account of the strength of the winds. 40 mph is quite a windspeed. Nonetheless, if you were in the centre of cyclone Funa, you'd be blown away with 90 mph winds. The disruption page of regional ferry operator Caledonian MacBrayne is awash with disrupted or cancelled ferries. Our ferry is off until tomorrow morning, as are the services around the Isle of Mull.

Later this evening, I endeavour to get up to date with the pile of alerts that awaits me in my email inbox. For now, I'm downloading stuff into iTunes (radioshows and the like) and entering my local history research into a spreadsheet.


Last weekend I found I had worn out my third computermouse in as many years. Dug out an optical mouse, which (probably) does not wear out.

    Hope  you didn't go out to test the winds Guido.   We are having strong gusts and non stop rain here in the lakes.

    I have a lot of work to be catching up on too.  I just don't have the oomph at the moment.
    Stay warm and dry.

    HAHAHA at that mouse photo!

    Yep, I can still walk in 40 mph winds.  I don't LIKE to, and it's difficult to do, but I can.  I do believe I'd be swept right off my feet in 90 mph!

    I do believe 90 mph winds would blow me right off my feet, 40 would be bad enough.  Stay safe!  I like your new mouse. LOL
