Awoke to some atrocious weather, easterly gale and pouring rain. The Muirneag was unable to dock, and had to go out again. Heard that Kenny There you go MacLeod and AJ Kennedy, Isles FM presenters, were both arrested on air yesterday morning on allegations of torturing listeners for years and a breach of the piss. The arrests were carried out by the top brass of Stornoway police. If listeners pledged £250, they would be released after an hour. Or not. Good laugh. This morning, the Stornoway Half Marathon is being run, nice weather! The wind drives the rain through the woodwork round the windows. Two of mrs B's sons are coming back on the ferry at lunchtime, provided it sails. Heard that the duckrace at Ballantrushal (near Barvas) is cancelled. The wind slowly abates through the day, although it does remain unpleasant. Was served dinner by mrs B.
