10th February – The driverless car trial was carried out yesterday and the BBC were there to record the event. We were surprised to see our friends, Terry and Judith featured in the article.

I don’t think they were too impressed, Judith described it as being “as aerodynamic as a breezeblock”.
15th February – A brief spell of sunshine has tempted this Peacock butterfly out of hibernation. I don’t think it’ll survive for long, it’s still cold and there are few flowers to feed on. Pity.
22nd February – Promising signs that the weather is warming up, a nice sunny day in Stromness. H and I managed a walk down through the campsite. With it being the weekend, quite a few swimmers were out – brrrr.
26th February – Another long day for H in the Balfour as she underwent her final, for the foreseeable future, session of intravenous chemotherapy. It all went well and the nursing staff are very pleased with her progress. Going forward the treatment will be taken orally. She has a phone appointment with the consultant in Aberdeen in early March to monitor her progress, so hopefully he will give her a “thumbs up”.
