Morning .
Did you survive?
The sky is a mixture of clear sky and cloud . The clouds seem to be moving slowly although the trees are gently swaying a bit.

All the snow here has vanished, although there's still plenty up in the hills.

Lots of roads blocked due to fallen trees.
This means the crew could not reach the ferry at Lochaline. Eventually reached there and there was a power cut so could not start the engine tho' why they would need mains power for that I do not know.
Update sometime when they get going.
Craignure of course is still a decision to be made at 0945 as to whether to sail or not but I have to get down there in case they do sail or if going via Lochaline they may have got the engine going.

Clear blue skies
There's a few birds about but not as many as normal which is hardly surprising.

The wind's stopped to catch its breath. But 40mph gusts for the afternoon. It hasn't rained as much as I expected.

Childhood memories.
As children you seem to be able to find wild animals. It must be that they are closer to the ground .
You seem to be more able to find things , Slow worms, wild rabbits, newts, moles and a bat. As a child they are all exciting finds. Finding newts in a pond was a thrill , they looked like miniature dinosaurs to a young child . We never found frogs where I lived . Finding a live mole under a sheet of corrugated tin was fun . The mole let me pick it up , it didn't struggle , the fur so black and smooth like velvet. I put it back down and it scurried off. The bat I found lying by the side of a road . My friend and I were walking back from his house to mine . It was still light being late afternoon. I picked it up and it bit me! It was dangling from my finger . They have sharp teeth . It didn't draw blood. Being kids we thought that we needed to keep it safe and that they hung upside down so we cut a slot in the top of a shoe box placed the bat inside and placed the box in my dads shed . We had the bat long enough to call the bat Freddie . How were we supposed to know that the bat would climb out and that my cat would find it . It didn't survive ! We gave it a good send off and buried it next to our apple tree.

The monthly battle with Excel has begun.
So far it's 1-1: Excel decided to insert a formula which it wouldn't let me exit so I had to restart. I'd expected this so I've been saving every 30 seconds or so, and I don't have to redo much.
