Two kilos of greengages are now sitting in a preserving pan along with an equal weight of sugar.

We used to have a greengage tree at the bottom of the garden until the 1987 storm brought it down, I don't think we ever got anything edible off it in 27 years, they were always sour & unripe.

Back from a 100 km ride. My second fastest apparently. Those winds have to be put to use!

The car is looking much less grotty cleaner and shinier which means it'll start raining any time soon. The kitchen surfaces have also been scrubbed down and the metal bits given a quick polish. Can't be bothered with anymore domestics so I may change from shorts to trousers and go out for a short walk before cooking tea.

Hazy sunshine most of the day but still a bit of rain and a cold wind. Had a short walk and got rained on. Watched a small coaster heading up the Sound which is fairly calm but once they get out beyond Ardnamurachan things will be a bit different.

Car booked into garage to fix the MOT advisory and check a strange mild shudder when braking from high speed.

While down there I managed to park facing the marina where the number of yachts has fallen quite a bit. I noticed some heading off for Loch Sunart which has a few nice anchorages which in the past had very few boats anchored overnight. I suspect many do not have the confidence in their gear to anchor and prefer to pay to tie up in a floating caravan park. I can see from my front window a very nice anchorage which used to be well used pre marina but this year I think only one or possibly two boats used it.

Winds dropped this evening so the ebike had a visit to Sainsburys. Sole purchase a bag of oranges for 75p. Bananas were that delightful assortment of very green or really needed eating earlier today. Cycle track that has glass on it was instead occupied by a very large boulder; quite where it had come from I could not work out.

I sometimes wonder who makes up my dreams !

You do!
They're all made up of things you've done or thought about. But your brain doesn't want you to remember which you did and which you thought about.

R.I.P. Slippers
The already loose lining finally ripped so they have gone to the great waste bin in the sky. Next time I'm in town I'll have to spend a fiver on some new ones.

Despite the promising start, it turned in to another day of torrential rain.

Another day long worked.

I have repaired my toilet seat.

Today's 73 plate truck has 167690 kilometres on the odometer and, with a 16' double decker trailer, blowing me to Cromer.

It's blowing a right gale out there.
