There is an auxiliary powers supply (generator) on the island for when the electricity goes down, which happens from time to time, but I also have a home battery back up supply system as well......it'd be difficult for any "time-critical" admin or online business to survive without it out here, it's a much hardier way of life but all the better for it.

I haven't cleared the snow off the Starlink so far @Albanian Buddy although the sun and salt air take care of it fairly quickly and there's been no drop off in speed/performance etc......the installer put in extra insulation tubing around the cables and he has boxed in the external connections. The installer is contracted to do a system check (including cables/connections) annually but as it's Tiree (and he's a pal) it's every six months......this'll be our first full winter with the system but all good so far👍

A wee look out my window this morning on Tiree, snowing quite hard just now which is all pretty unusual out here!!

A nice intellectual response. 
"This crap has no place in this country"
Really? This catastrophic disaster was historically caused by the UK and in particular,  a Scot..

On the contrary. Any civilized society should be condemning the atrocious, vindictive, evil, mass murder of innocent people anywhere in the world. And I think you might find it difficult to find Palestine now.

Snowy here on Tiree just now but don't expect it'll lie for too long, strong and bitterly cold winds from the North but sun starting to break through......hopefully that'll get the "feels like" temperature somewhere above -10 !!!!!

Why should an in-law's offences reflect on any other member of the family? This headline really does smacks of "SNP bad" even when only by association that he had no control over. The unionist media are definitely running scared of any potential SNP resurgence.

The Cameron / Pig thing is probably shite ??  
 
Perhaps . But methinks someone is telling Porkies.  😉

Indeed.
We'll be running the Firestick to watch Netflix, Amazon Prime and my IPTV so, overall, the requirements are considerably less than that whopping 270Mb (I don't get that in the house) you were getting. 
Anyhow, that'll be one of many things we'll need to overcome in the next few months.
We're heading down to Glasgow in a couple of weeks to have a wander around the Scottish Caravan Show to get a few ideas and, no doubt, Mrs Faraway will end up purchasing some stuff. 

That’s not what I use it for though…..I need to go through a VPN link to my office, connect to the server and then run various programmes and processes simultaneously. As I said to FS, not everyone needs the download speed that I do but for a system (package) that I can switch on and off ( don’t pay for off) and charge to my business it is very decent value for money.

Could be a good Korea move for the young man . 

We’ve taken up Starlink” for Wi-Fi at the cottage and getting 270 Mb of download (which is mental). They do a package for motorhomes, boats etc….£75.00 per month but you’re not in contract and can switch package on and off when your not using it

Just to clarify, I am not a supporter of the SNP. However, I am a supporter of independence. The sooner, the better.

Aye, still here FS and staying on until Thursday…..weather taken a wee turn from the dry, bright and sunny last 7 days to a wee bit overcast with a wind running in from the North 💨 🥶.
Plenty of Flu and Colds about but managed to evade them so far, seems to be lingering with people longer than normal. Hope you’re back to feeling better soon.

After reading, and re-reading the email I received today there is no mention that I would need to pay to sort the issues.
In fact I've just had a phone call from the owner who assures me there will be no cost, the email was just for information purposes, although I had no need to know that there was an issue.
He also informed me a new oven has been fitted as the original was showing signs of wear & tear.
All good for picking it up next Friday.
The next worry is driving the thing and parking it in the driveway. 

If it was advertised as having it then (in my opinion) you would be right to assume that it is working.  Otherwise they could just stick a new one, still in the box, inside the vehicle and claim that it has one.
 
Just tell them to fix it before you collect it, as it was obviously priced assuming that it was working.

Currently on Tiree and for the first time in my memory(over 50 years) having to scrape ice off the car windows, our cottage is right by the shore so the salt air usually takes care of it.

@ThePigeon
Perhaps chose a game that doesn’t include the bigot brothers aka the Old Firm (trademarked).
It’s invariably a much better atmosphere when we don’t play them. Plus if you are doing such an experience then I’m sure the club may arrange for a quick tour of the stadium the day before if you write to them in advance. 
Make us your last ground in Scotland as we are clearly the best club! 😉
Did you make a webpage or social media of your visits to the 92 grounds? It sounds like something I’d like to do at some stage. 

PS, no more Smokies for you ma boy. 😜

Well you do live in Arbroath 🤷‍♂️🙈
