Another late start. The weather is reasonable to start with, but the sequence of clouds suggests a front is in the offing, from the east. After the weekend, it could get chilly. The ferry is 1½ hours late, not leaving for Ullapool until 3.15. I go to the ferry terminal to collect the winter timetable, which comes into force on Monday. The bus station gets a similar visit. I find Muirneag moored opposite Amity House today. I return to the town centre to buy papers and some magazines. A trip to Somerfields concludes my outside proceedings. Grey clouds scud overhead, but the sun comes out at 5.30. The rainfall radar shows heavy rain over the Highlands and will arrive here after nightfall.
