Sunday 10/09/06

After breakfast, our guest goes to Arnish to look around the gun emplacements there. Although I give him directions to the Iolaire Memorial, he does not go there. After watching Countryfile on BBC1, I take it easy through the day except to monitor the progress of Hurricane Florence, which is approaching Bermuda. It could get rather windy there, with windspeeds in excess of 90 mph. Go out for a walk at 3.30. Cloud increases gradually, but it stays dry. Walk to Battery Point round the Coastguard Station. People in day-glo jackets are venturing out into the Sgeir Mhor, a reef that lies exposed at low tide. Double back down the side streets. The rain starts in earnest at 6pm, for a little while. Helps to wash bird droppings off the windows. Supper consists of sweet and sour, which we have after mrs B's grandson has his different meal earlier. Florence appears on the Bermuda radar at 10pm - see earlier entry made on Sunday.
