I've just read this strange, fascinating novel: "A Voice Like Velvet" by Donald Henderson. First published in 1944 as "The Announcer", it's about a BBC announcer who is also a jewel thief. Ideal if you're interested in radio, the BBC & wartime Britain - and for listeners to @bbcentury.bsky.social

The sky seemed foreboding late this afternoon ahead of Storm Amy tomorrow. Time for @kathietouin.bsky.social to pick more tomatoes from our Polycrub before we batten the hatches. #Orkney

A beautiful morning in Kirkwall Harbour with the RNLI lifeboat at the ready, close to the Lifeboat shop which is well worth a visit. #Orkney

Domino was a very good boy on his first training walk with other dogs in Kirkwall this morning. Here we've stopped for refreshments outside the cathedral. #Orkney

Domino went for a paddle in Kirkwall Bay this morning. One of two large cruise ships visiting today can be seen in the background of the first image. #Orkney
