I was on the Isle of Lewis and planning to get the ferry back
to the mainland on Monday or Tuesday. On seeing the amber
warnings and reading the forecast I rebooked on the Sunday
sailing (breaking the Sabbath, tut, tut) and came home last
night.

Irony of ironies. The Ullapool-Stornoway ferry, on which I
travelled, is one of only two CalMac ferries not to have been
cancelled or disrupted so far.

Mostly blue skies and very strong winds here in Fochabers, but
outside temperature allegedly 17.8ºC.
