22 May: A wet day. Will there be any let-up? The window below sums it up nicely – apart from a few minutes around 6pm, when the rain stops. Light streams through the clouds to illuminate the settlement of Geary, beyond the Ascrib islands, around eight miles away across (sea) Loch Snizort. The little promontory at Oans is visible most days, but it doesn’t stand out – you wouldn’t know it was there. For a few minutes, the light falling through the rain brings Oans into sharp relief. Then the rain returns. Tomorrow will be better, won’t it?
