22 December 2016 Overcast with occasional sleety showers, no chance of a sunset. No broadband despite BT assuring us that it would be working today. The company is about as speedy as a tortoise on a Sunday in Stornoway.
21 December 2016 Most of the morning fruitlessly trying to sort out non functional broadband, no equipment issues. Some chance of a sunset
20 December 2016 Lovely morning with rising wind, a good possibility of a sunset. It is most unfortunate that we still have no internet connection.
19 December 2016 BBC Weather suggests a good sunset today and maybe next two days. Sadly BT is asleep at the wheel and we still have no connection.
18 December 2016 100% cloud cover - still no broadband connection - sorry folks is all I can say
17 December 2016 100% cloud cover - still no broadband connection - sorry folks is all I can say
16 December 2016 100% cloud cover - still no broadband connection - sorry folks is all I can say
15 December 2016 Much nicer day - possibly a sunset - BT now says there is a fault - over a week later
14 December 2016 100% overcast, still no broadband
13 December 2016 Wall to wall sunshine today and looks like the best sunset so far this December. Planning to do a sequence at the Watchstone. Cameras are recording so we plan to put a time lapse up later once we can accessthem.
12th December 2016 Better weather this week, today possible, Tuesday looks like 100% sunshine, no broadband as yet
11th December 2016 100% cloudy no broadband
10th December 2016 Looking good for today but broadband still down, problem is with BT end

3rd December 2016 Very pleasant calm day but partially overcast, looking great for tomorrow.
2nd December 2016 Looking like sunshine from around 11:00 so chance of a sunset. Tomorrow looking much clearer skies. Replaced exterior cable, all working now.
1st December 2016 Showers with sunny intervals. We hope to install a new cable to the outside camera today.
30 November 2016 Totally overcast today but possibility of being brighter tomorrow afternoon. Failed startup of outside camera this morning, inside cameras fired up OK at 14:00.
29 November 2016 looking like bright spells with showers as high pressures moves away. Possible sunset, jetstream has flicked to a large northerly loop making cloudy skies likely the next few days. New PoE switch installed.
28 November 2016 beautiful day and likely sunset. Due to faulty PoE switch webcam 3 is not yet operational, but part ordered.
