Getting on with my life and thinking about things.
Engebret's Filling Station and Shop, Sandwick Road, Stornoway. They have maps, books, even saw some Haglof kit and a collection of Optimus Prime stoves. And the gas to run them. Lots of other mundane things like magazines, food, drink, oh, and petrol/diesel.
Nothing compared to where Roman hopes to be going in a couple of days time. But I'll make do with a copy of Colin Demét's "Cúchulainn" (publisher: Wordcatcher). Summary of the hero's life on Wikipedia.

Kinsella's translation is crap - there's a better one, O'Rhially's - I have a copy of it - much better description of his battle fury.
More on the Tain Bo Cualinge - The Cattleraid of Cooley here
Cuchulain, who got his name after killing the hound of Culain the Smith, and offered to guard his compound while, he, Setanta trained a new dog, so he became 'The Hound of Culain' or the Hound of Ulster - Cu - Gaelic for Dog.
One of my favourite Irish heroes!
Great stuff!
Most are a copy of Sláine.
And then there's the Pogues
