The sun shines pale gold in the east as a blanket of cloud slips across from the west.
A low blanket of cloud looking almost fluffy over the lochan.
A rather grey morning but there are workmen working - the polycrub doors being rehung and new stair carpet being laid. #uist
Hailstones on the gravel outside.
Massive blue storm clouds smother the evening sun.
Friend S and I spent a cosy afternoon watching #TheWinslowBoy and eating S’s homemade #HotCrossBuns. #uist
A calico cat lies in a sunbeam, under the big square stool, partly hidden by the ripped sacking hanging down from underneath the stool.
Does anyone know an upholsterer on #uist? 🙀🙄😻
Blue skies and a sunlit bank of grey cloud on the horizon.
Grey clouds dropping heavy rain on the same horizon.
Sleet and hail strike the window.
Earlier this morning, and now. #uist
Skeins of geese fly beyond the triptych of windows.
Yet more geese fly by
Even more geese - something has definitely upset them:
Something has stirred up the #BarnacleGeese #uist

Grey clouds in a silver sky over the shining loch
Looking west down the driveway, oystercatchers and starlings are dibbling in the grass.
A fine but cold start to the day. Starlings and oystercatchers are feeding on the driveway. #uist
The moon reflects gold on the night clouds.
While stars glimmer and hints of green and purple turn the clouds to a dark sea.
Hints of green and pink behind the clouds.
Indigo clouds over the loch.
Storms blowing in off the Atlantic. Snow or hail?
The wind has shifted around to the west and it is absolutely bitter! 💨🥶🏴 #uist
Clouds encroach from the west but the eastern sky is bright and the loch shines in the still air.
A ginger and a grey cat on the stool are trying to persuade me to stop looking at the view and give them breakfast.
Dark clouds in the far west.
A fine morning but clouds are incoming. The fosters want breakfast asap. 🙀😻🐈🐈⬛ #uist
A tabby cat sits on the long stool and gazes outside at the driving rain. A grey cat lies snoozing in an armchair and a black cat sleeps below it. No one seems very happy with the weather.
A huge black cat lies on a green herringbone blanket laid across my legs and hugs me.
The weather is atrocious! The #cats are unimpressed and I’m snuggled up on the sofa with the #panther. #uist
The indoor #Swimming pool was deliciously warm and we swam a gentle 12 lengths. My bruises are turning rainbow colours. #uist
Grey clouds heading east across the loch as three hardy hens potter in the garden.
A fine morning but it hasn’t lasted. Rain has arrived. I’m planning on taking my ankle to the indoor swimming pool 🏊♀️ since it’s nearly healed. #uist
A teeny grey cat cleans herself in the yellow armchair.
Bathing complete, the teeny grey cat sleeps on her velvet cushion.
Tootsie, the calico cat, lies on the back of the cream velvet chesterfield, lit by the golden sunset.
Clause, the half grown ginger kitten is a luminous orange in the light.
The #cats enjoying the last sunbeams of the day. #uist 😻🐈⬛🐈🐈
Looking west, the golden sun sinks behind a thin band of purple clouds in an otherwise blue sky.
The sun setting between my neighbours’ houses.
A solitary rain cloud drops its load into the ocean.
It was a fine #sunset despite a single rain shower out to sea. #uist
Sun among scattered thin clouds. The loch glitters with light.
Claus, a half grown ginger kitten, lounges on the carpet.
Kay, a tiny grey cat as sleek as a seal, lies snoozing on the long stool. Behind her, narcissi flutter in the breeze.
After a miserable start to the day, the sun has come out and there’s a #bumblebee on the daffodils. #uist

Soft grey skies beyond windows coated with salt and raindrops.
A huge black cat sleeps on the long stool in front of the window.
The storms have passed, leaving windows salt-stained and the #panther sleeping. #uist 😻🐈⬛
#FirstBirdOfMyDay a ring-tailed hen harrier tumbling across the fields. #uist
The sunrise stains the clouds pink over the loch with blue sky beyond.
The New Zealand flax blows in the wind as clouds threaten from the west.
Hens are busy bodying about the garden.
My resilient #uist #hens are out and about early, this windy morning.
The western sky is a mix of clear blue, golden sunlight, and grey storms.
The golden sun gilds the edge of the approaching rain clouds.
After a quiet day of reading and paperwork, I slipped outside and the wind is still ferocious. #uist
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 🙀😻🐈⬛
