Fair bit of local news today [see entries made on the day]. The weather is quite pleasant if cold, 5C, in contrast to the 10 cm / 4 inches of snow in England and Wales. It causes a lot of disruption on the roads, railways and in airports. A couple of thousand schools are closed. Up here, the council aims to relocate the landing of oil and gas to Glumag Harbour. The Environmental Services committee of the Council has decided to back the windfarm for North Lewis. Nip out for a bit of shopping, including the weekly papers. Mrs B and I hang up the birdfeeders in the backgarden, but the wind gets very cold. Some of the seeds end up on the ground after one of the feeders falls apart. Supper is fishfingers and chips.
