Mostly dry but we got the edges of showers passing just south of here.
Still no cycling but met a character with a beard nearly down to his waist who had a new looking cargo bike with e assist which latter he reckoned was essential.
No idea where he lives or what he does but certainly not poor even tho’ his wife appeared from the surgery to get her bike already parked there. I suspect over the other side of the island where all sorts of strange people live so the e assist is certainly needed if they cycle over here with a couple of nasty hills in the way.
One feature of living here is that you tend to assume that everyone knows who you are which used to be the case so it is difficult to admit you have no idea who you are talking to.
The dental receptionist is sympathetic to my plea to get moved further up the waiting list and has pencilled me in for treatment next week. Trouble is the dentist will not be back till Monday so the decision will not take place till then.
My son should be home before my Glasgow appointment so he can take me down for the appointment.
If everything goes to plan it should only take a minimum 3 days from here in contrast to somebody on the mainland who can do it in one day.
If the weather is reasonable I will have the trike with me so hopefully get some miles in and extend my visit.
A local haulier is suggesting that far from keeping our ferry fares low they should be raised instead for all travellers. Since he uses ferries with a 44 tonne truck his tongue is firmly in cheek but I wonder how many settlers know this.
FB should be interesting or rather inflammable by tomorrow.
