A quiet day here in the Outer Hebrides, a lull before the storm that will hit us over the weekend. We are under warning for gusts of up to 80 mph (130 kph). That's not uncommon, but needs to be treated with caution.
Last night, the Aurora Borealis put up a brilliant display, it would appear, but I was not aware in time. Seems to have been one of the best displays in years. Sigh.
Covid is ramping up its advance through the ranks of the young, with the majority of new cases among children. I am taking a lateral-flow test twice a week, but have thus far managed to avoid the virus.
We now have another case of musical ferries, with the MV Arrow in place this week to carry freight back and forth. MV Loch Seaforth, our regular boat, is on the Mersey for its annual refit. The passengers travel on the MV Isle of Lewis, an aging vessel dating back to 1995, with the freight (until the Arrow came) going on the MV Hebridean Isles, which is even older: built in 1985. The Loch Seaforth is due back next week.

We were told we might see the aurora borealis here in Oregon (due to sun flare activity, or whatever...) But, of course, it's been raining buckets so if the aurora was up there, we didn't see it. :(
