Stevan<p>And just a small section of our bit of the planet, on this <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MorningWalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorningWalk</span></a><br>Not sure what aspect of these lines in the land-and-seascape caught my attention <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>

Stevan<p>Preas Loch, widely acknowledged to be the navel at the Centre of the (known) Universe, in a bit of a mood this morning.<br>The Last Homely House is up there, keeping her silence, not minding the weather, having seen it all before.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>Herself this morning: "I heard Barty the Badger last night. It sounded as though he was knocking rocks over again. But the rocks around the bird feeders are still in place."<br>So we checked the BadgerCam....<br>This despite trying to put anti-deer fencing in place.<br>I also saw a small group of deer in velvet, crossing the road yesterday. I wonder if it's the weather that's brought them off the hill.<br>Better check for fence damage after coffee.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wildlife</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>The wind gusting to 45mph this morning, and damp with it, and the sparrow-folk found the willow in the lee of the hedge remarkably convenient for the Friday morning meeting.<br>(Apologies about the poor pic - snapped through an old skylight)<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>And here, to help you through your Thursday, is the place widely acknowledged to be very navel at the Centre of the (known) Universe, Preas Loch, while our Star plays with her light brushes, choosing the colours of the day, against its shores<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>Even Clachtoll Broch got the spotlight for a while, on this fresh, lively morning<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MorningWalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorningWalk</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>This morning's walk was all about the wind and the light<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MorningWalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorningWalk</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>It was a morning for lightsplashes on this <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/MorningWalk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MorningWalk</span></a> <br>Here's the split rocks of Clachtoll<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>The little servants of St Bride pointed out that they. too, could show the direction of the wind.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a></p>
Stevan<p>Other places have weathercocks to show the direction of the wind. Here we have weathergulls, always facing the direction of the wind.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a></p>
Stevan<p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/StormFloris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StormFloris</span></a> in 2 images.<br>The wind feels to have moderated a little, but may have just swung a bit. Notice the direct correlation between the lowest pressure and that sudden rise as the eye passed over, followed by the increase in wind.<br>We've had sustained winds around the 40mph mark and some gusts up to 72mph.<br>The little wind charger is operating at its maximum output (or a little more, actually) but seems to be coping.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Weather</span></a> <br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>

Stevan<p>Meanwhile Davie the Crofter has lifted his sheep and they're in Stoer fank, for shearing. He was bemoaning his usual skilful timing yesterday, choosing shearing to coincide with rain, but he's been lucky to get a good lot done in yesterday's break in the weather. The lambs will also be dosed while everyone's here.<br><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Assynt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Assynt</span></a></p>
