Grey day so far with a bit of wind.
Summoned to the GP this morning for a review of my last bloods and anything else which occurs to them or me.

Plaintive calls for lifts as winter timetables kick in. Buses do not connect with ferries and there are Sunday ferries but no buses.
The last Iona ferry will wait for the bus if it is late and they have been told bus passengers wish to travel.
At Fishnish they had an informal headlight flashing signal system to ask the ferry to wait a few minutes for passengers.

There are lots of stories about the bus service when it was a local company but no time to give them now.

"Open the box or take the money?"

Granddaughter insists on eating hers dry, with a glass of chocolate milk alongside. I add a drizzle of both Maple syrup, and date syrup, having to weave intricate spirals around the contents of the bowl with the latter

Morning!
Ooh it's brightening up a bit . It was all grey earlier but I can see some bright bits of sky and blue sky to the south .

The worrying patch of mould that I just spotted creeping up from the skirting board turned out to be a shadow.

Early morning mist is still hanging around, a tad warmer this morning but with all the rain it's still feels cold and damp.
Charlies not moved from his bed, other than his morning walk doubt he's up for his afternoon one.

I see Islabikes is finishing. Sad, as they seemed to produce great kids bikes.

Yes, it's a big shame. My elder granddaughter has outgrown hers but it survived everything that was thrown at it … and everything it was thrown at. There's some consolation in that the kids' bike market improved noticeably since Islabikes came in. It now remains to be seen whether the companies that moved in on their market continue to show a positive interest in kids' bikes instead of simply being there for the money.

Good afternoon from Suffolk where the weather appears to have finally made up its mind and settled for sunny.

I woke up just after 5 this morning and just couldn't get back to sleep, so stayed under the warm duvet listening to the radio. It's been a very quiet day at work so I wasn't really needed, but it does give me that long stretch off at the start of November so it's not all bad. A few emails have been read, a few more have been deleted and a couple of others have been replied to and that's been it. More time was spent booking a couple of gig tickets than doing any actual work.

The last coffee of the working week is about 5 minutes away from drinking temperature.
