Morning.
My brain is a bit slow this morning. I think it is working on too many projects.
I was just looking at my mileage for this year and have come to the conclusion that I won't be setting any new records . Not even the least miles covered as I have already passed that one !

I’m repairing a damp patch, then I’m going to make a gooseberry crumble.

CalMac have stopped taking ferry bookings and only operate a turn up on spec system. So while I have no intention of travelling I have to travel 21 miles if I require to be on the mainland before finding if I can get my car on a specific ferry. Those from Fionnphort have 40 miles to find out.
This is obviously to deter frivolous car journeys and make people on the mainland nervous of coming but is clearly a policy designed by somebody who does not live on an island.
I am pretty sure that diagnosing non life threatening conditions will be put off but CT scans done by radiographers may go ahead as they would not be on front line duty I think.
Anyway I would like to know if my liver is going to last a few years yet so I would make a 160 mile return trip involving 2 ferries where I can stay in my car the whole time to get there. Happy days not.

Yes and after listening to 5 minutes of verbal garbage I will get a person who can tell me nothing useful. They will be instructed to tell people nothing but just turn up and take your chance. Probably no problem but it depends on the number of lorries and still tour buses. Yesterday there was a bus load of ancients from a Shearings coach wandering around. They probably felt a bit unwelcome as everybody took wide detours to avoid them.
