Aurora

More work today - almost up to full speed again.

Not much else going on - more laundry done and more ironing to do shortly. January...

I am finalising the details of my wee trip to Eigg at the end of March. It seems like a long way off, but at this time of year it's nice to be planning something. My accommodation on the island was booked last month.

Today I booked a bed & breakfast close to where the ferry leaves from (Mallaig) for the night before. It's close to 4 hours by car from here, and for a 10:30 sailing...  The ferry only sails every other day in winter, so it's not like you just jump on the next one if you miss the one you expected to catch.

I seem to have escaped Gaimersheim just in time. Snow yesterday and today. Forecast is for -9⁰ on Friday and -15⁰ at night.

The Blip is the Navigator Aurora catching the early afternoon sun. She's a 27000 ton Liberian registered LPG tanker, probably waiting to unload at the petrochemical plant upriver.
