Raasey Times

Subject: Raasay Times 2006 issue 3

And still they don't come - just one couple stayed the weekend. So I've had to move out of character and washed/cleaned/polished/cut/chopped/mended everything. Definitely not what this job's all about. Thursday evening was most interesting. The severe thunderstorms affected 5 hostels. Here the power was cut off, the alarm sounded on 3 separate occasions, and the PC (modem) expired whilst all around the water kept on rising. It got over the doorstep but not the doorframe! Being of optimistic mind I retired and hoped. You may have noticed that Skye has been the hotspot of Britain over the last few days so I've managed a trip to the northern end of the island as well as two long rides on Skye. But you cant see a thing this morning and it's a lot colder; perhaps the day to try out my newly swept stove.

(Never mind, Graham - you'll soon have Irene to fuss over! Brian)
