Hi Steve

81mph at Lerwick and 84mph off at Skule according to weatheronline.
Meanwhile the odd wheelie bin has been tipped, way down here in
Aberfeldy. Did you make sure you lowered your wheelie bin anchor?


No wheelie bins here, Brian, old black bag technology. But the large
plastic coal bunker did decide to make a break for it, I caught up with
it just before it hopped over into the next field. Persuading it back
again was "exhilarating" and it's now weighted down with a full calor
gas cylinder.
