The sun has come out and the Panther, a huge black cat, it curled up in the warmth streaming through the window.
And now his tail is hanging down as he relaxes completely.
Tries not to fall asleep to the ticking clocks and puthering wind. #uist
A huge black cat snoozes on a stool in front of the window. Behind him, dull windy weather.
Grey clouds with just a hint of sunlight creeping through. The wind is whistling round the door frames.
As forecast, the wild winds have returned so we’re battened down and staying cosy. #uist
A band of torn cloud threatens the sun I. The west.
The calm between storms and I’m doing a mass clear out of litter trays. It’s not all cuddles and playtime fostering kittens, alas. 🙀😻🐈⬛🐈 #uist
Looking across the field to the lochan as the sun shines in the blue sky. Clouds are travelling so fast, there’ll be more storms in a moment.
Standing in the shelter of the polycrub admiring the sunlight. #uist
Storms smothering the sky over the loch and smeary windows.
Sunshine and storm clouds to the southwest.
A huge black cat sits on a stool in bright sunshine.
Hailstorms, gales, and glittering sunshine. I’ve had a lie-in, after giving the cats an early breakfast so that they let me sleep. #uist 🙀😻🐈⬛
A dazzling sun in a massive patch of blue sky. Sunlight on grass and loch.
The last of the fine weather for a while? #uist
A barbie doll lying on rough grass. She is wearing white strappy sandals and white knickers. Her upper half is obscured by her yellow and blue flowered skirts. She stands on a plinth that has a word written on it in cursive, possibly Jamaica.
It is extremely windy today, therefore this is a common occurrence in the Hebrides. I tried to rescue her but was almost blown away and struggled back to the car. #Uist #NorthUist
Slow carved Lewisian Gneiss Vessel with a deeply tooled diamond ground finish. Over 3 billion years in the making. Carved in the Outer Hebrides.
Isn’t Lewisian Gneiss amazing!

The dazzling sun glints off the harbour water, the dolphin statue and the hills beyond.
A beautiful day, briefly, at the harbour. #uist
The return of the smeary windows in a stormy light.
Storms incoming, smothering the sun.
Miss Kay wants the sun back.
Sunshine, hailstorms and gales. #uist
A black cat lies next to his foster mum, with comical green eyes
Imagine lounging in front of the tv with this gorgeous boy hogging the remote? 😻
Nacho the black kitten does everything to the utmost, including sleeping…
How is he comfortable lying if half off the fridge?
This is Nacho who was rescued as a small and v ill kitten. His foster mum nursed him back from death’s door, he’s a cheeky, playful, affectionate boy but we can’t find a home for him. Anyone in the Western Isles need a house panther? #uist @uistcatrescue.bsky.social 😻🐈⬛
Uniform grey clouds and a CNN murky light over the loch.
A quiet dim day before the wind ramps up over the weekend. #uist
The rays of the setting sun. Wheelie bin is out ready for the morning and the wind is bitter.
I slid over in the mud, earlier, and twisted my weak ankle. Thankfully no serious damage except to my pride. 🙀😉 #uist
Storm clouds beyond the loch
A huge black cat sits hunched on the long stool and glares outside at the passing weather.
Windows washed clean by the morning rain but the #Panther is unimpressed by the hailstones and squalls that followed. #uist 😻🐈⬛🙀
The sun sets behind a few gilded clouds.
The last golden rays of the sun.
Last night was a cold and frosty evening. #Knitting group met and we had a lovely relaxed chat as our fingers worked. 🧶 #uist
The silver sun gleams through pale clouds in the west and the ruts in the driveway glimmer.
Brady, a tabby cat, snoozed on the stool in front of the long window while the garden beyond is bright with sunlight.
After a wild night and a mixed day, the wind has quietened and the sun has ventured forth. #uist
Massed lines of heavy grey clouds loom over the loch. I guess it’s still March.
The not quite calm before the storm. #uist
A faint haze of green and pink for the stars to shine through
A tiny ribbon of green along the horizon and fading into the stars.
A haze of green light across the base of the sky under purple clouds
Stars shine through the green dancers
Mottled clouds screen the golden setting sun.
A huge band of rain clouds threaten from the west.
The crescent moon in the blue and grey western sky.
The light fades, rain clouds advance and a crescent #moon hangs I. The blue evening sky #uist
A dazzling sun in the blue sky reflected in the loch.
As the sun moves across the sky, a few scattered clouds appear.
Bright light all morning but the clouds have gathered. #uist I planted the spent daffodils from the kitchen.
Looking at silver sky, grey clouds, and bright light over the lochan.
A fine morning. 20 lengths in the indoor #swimming 🏊♀️ pool with R. #uist
Steps outside to see if there’s any sign of the predicted northern lights. Silent drenching #rain. Steps immediately back inside again. 🙀 #uist
Looking westward, the sun glints behind hazy clouds and mist is shadowing the land.
The haze of mist cloud creeps towards the loch under blue sky and cirrus clouds.
Mist is gathering. #uist
