Well, I made it out, the car started after almost three weeks of sitting, made it it town - got supplies. Rough trip back, and now the wind has stopped play once again for the next few days.

Ferry booked for tomorrow.

Fingers crossed the weather holds, so I can make my escape and restock with groceries and get a couple of tasks completed in town.

It's been a wild few weeks with the weather and I don't remember been cut off to this degree since I first moved here.

Looks like we are once again this winter 'Storm Bound'. Probably until Wednesday, maybe Thursday this week. Winds due to touch 70+mph tonight, with a band of snow coming through also.

Hoping I can get some supplies over at some point...

Hoped to head to town today, but otherwise hamstrung.

Old cars with keys that go in locks. Frozen locks & no way of unfreezing this morning meant doing a quick shop before catching next boat back home instead of getting done tasks I needed to in the big town.

It's a beautiful day too.

Still snowing this morning...

I find I get a lot of solace when the world is blanketed like this.
The Robins and Blackbirds are I think the only true friends to have in this world, always ready to come and say hello, no questions asked, always present.

Learning to programme - the simple ecstasy gained from a small success is immeasurable.

Read & Write from/to files with correctly formatted output in the teminal. This is my little ToDo app.

I had fun (type2 fun) writing a script to create a 'Blog' with BASH. Actually a combo of a BASH backend & HTML/CSS frontend. So much so, thought I'd rewrite everything in Python.

I dabble, & am no developer.

Introducing my £2.65 website. analoguelife.xyz

Building a website using the commandline. While I'm very comfortable with HTML & CSS, using the cmd line for this was a new experience.

BASH scripting is new.

Some trial & error, learning is taking place, I like the result.

Weather slowly been building today & expected to peak tomorrow morning with winds to 60mph, then a roller coaster of wind & rain until the 27th.

Ive created a new page on my website that makes it easier to find prints I'm selling.

You can 'right click' & open in a new tab to see larger versions, I'll try to integrate a lightweight light-box soon.

Find the page here: www.m-thompson.co.uk/shop/

The descriptive words in the recent images are not their names but Gaelic words describing elements within the scene.

It's a nod toward an idea I'm having. Linking images to place at a more meaningful & rooted level. Looking for a connection between it, the past and the present.

2x rolls of Shanghai GP3 100 120 devel'd.
Rodinal 1:50 25 mins.

I'd rated between 200 & 400 ASA, using the MDC as the start decided to develop at a midway point. 25 mins with agitation every 10 mins after the 1st minute & then every minute for the last 4 minutes.
