Why not visit Stromness ?

Had to go and help my Mum in Stromness early this morning.  After she had read the riot act about my school reports I tumbled out onto the Stromness Streets.

A taunting south east wind was hurling in off the sea between the buildings.  Time for an exceedingly unfocused grab with my phone - if only it had had a camera.  This is at 08.15 a.m. with never a biped or car moving - it seemed the whole of Stromness was still tucked up in bed.  Until I saw Andy Leask who asked me why I was taking pictures whilst it was ‘pissan doon’ (verbatim).

Perhaps I’ll never know.
