Agnes and Philip head for Harris on the 10 o'clock bus. Chat to another guest who has come to attend a conference on the evacuation of St Kilda. Could go there myself, but can't get through on the phone. Go to the library to catch up with more writing. Weather a lot better today, if rather cool in the wind. There is the odd shower. Apparently, there is serious flooding in Germany and Austria, as well as much further downstream the Danube in Romania. This concerns our German guests.
