1st January – Had a quiet Hogmanay, woke to a nice but cold 2019. Usual walk around Ness Point, the sun is still low at midday, this pic was taken about 1pm. Looking to the Hoy Low lighthouse on Graemsay, with the Hoy hills in the background.
9th January – Although Stromness Museum is closed from the 21st December until 5th February, there are still little jobs to be done. The museum sits on one of the old piers and the sea damp penetrates the building. To combat this, a number of dehumidifiers are installed throughout the building, I try to go in every two or three days and empty them.
It doesn’t take long but gives an opportunity to see the exhibits in peace and quiet!
23rd January – A bit more snow this morning but nothing much at ground level. A bit of warmth this afternoon will probably clear it.
29th January – Snow overnight has made the roads a bit tricky. This is the main Stromness to Kirkwall road this morning. We decided to cancel our shopping trip after a Vauxhall Vectra spun across the road in front of us.
31st January – We had a bit of an aurora tonight. Not very bright but a bonus getting a clear sky.
