OT - the joys of living on an island

I had a 10 minute appointment at the hospital in Kirkwall. Left on the
Tuesday morning ferry, the weather was very windy and the boat moved
about quite a bit! After a haircut, the 10 minute appoinment and a nice
lunch I discovered that the return ferry had been cancelled because the
weather had deteriorated. All the hotels were full but I managed to find
a room in a nice B&B. Returned to Stronsay on the 7am ferry (Wednesday),
arriving at 0835 to a lovely sunny morning.

Lol could have been worse - I find sleeping in terminals quite
terminal these days - it's not so easy when you are no longer young !

Alas, sleeping overnight in the the passenger lounge on the pier is not
permitted.
