Today dawns even mistier than yesterday. It's clear to see that this is early September. Isles FM reports a fire at Stoneyfields Farm, in which a brand new car burned out. I saw the vehicle last Thursday, 1st September, when the new '55' registration plates were introduced. I suppose it was a bad idea to park the thing outside the fuel depot, that was a bad premonition. A man was apprehended in Benbecula who was in a house that was not his own. Local taxidrivers complain that their fares no longer cover their fuel costs; prices at £1.08 / litre. Visibility remains very poor through the day. At one point the red buoy and the old beacon-stand appear to float in the air next to Arnish light. Went into town to buy a rubber and pencil sharpener, as well as the papers.
