The TV is also on, with the closing ceremony from Tokyo.

Closing Tokyo may not be a bad idea.

Waterproof on, waterproof off, waterproof on, waterproof off. It's one of those days!

Maybe you should just fix the roof...

Just seen an ad on the top of my CC page for a virtual data room? I've no clue what one of those is but I know I won't want one.

Been snoozing on my dogs bed , the dogs are snoozing on my sofa In about an hour l will have to go and muck out the field shelter of our three horses and treat the small injury on one of them, then give them their evening feed.
Oh the joys of being a dumb human responsible for not so dumb animals.

I wonder what constitutes "virtual data" and, why whatever it is needs, a room. Perhaps it is not quite data and maybe it needs somewhere to wait while it makes up its mind as to what it wants to be

Tonights turkey leg, I'm not sure what they've been feeding the bird on but it must have been good stuff.

My super will be a selection of random bitsas from the fridge - there's trout in watercress sauce, pasta with spinach & pesto, cous cous with roasted veggies, two stuffed mushrooms, some new potatoes in dill butter and green beans.

Subtle way of pointing out multiple bookings, if folk are making them. Whilst pointing out that onward connections booked may not be viable.
If you've only the one booking, headed in the same direction, it wouldn't affect you. Could be they might start charging for bookings not kept or not cancelled.

You have to pay upfront before you get a booking. After a fight you can get compensation if the ferry is cancelled for breakdown or operational reasons. You will only get a refund for a no show if you have a very good reason such as being dead or perhaps the road is blocked for hours due to an RTC. In the latter case you can still use your tickets which are valid for a month. There is also a £10 handling fee.
Before the payment in advance system there used to be people making multiple bookings but only turning up for one of them or perhaps not turning up at all.
If you did not turn up for a booking any return booking was automatically cancelled.

Looking out my window I just saw a block of flats lying sideways moving up the Sound. Some massive cruise liner apparently which is too big to get into the bay and the inmates are only allowed to look from a distance.
It is going to Iona and will anchor off the abbey. By the time they get the passengers off it will be time to get them on again. The Sound of Iona is pretty shallow in parts with sandbars. Even the normal ferry has to take a circuitous route to cross at low tide to avoid hitting the bottom which is clearly visible from on deck and looks as it you could reach down and touch it.

They're saying there'll be another heatwave this month. Do you think you'll survive until it arrives?

I'd take a cold snap at the moment if it came with light winds.

Give me a heatwave anytime! I hate windy and wet conditions, I hate having to use the exercise bike and I want it to be dry and sunny!
And I want it now!


Sounding like Veruca Salt!

Sorry, next cold snap is due to arrive with gale force winds.
On the bright side, you'd be quicker in one direction at least.
