I fairly pick my days for shopping trips. Trouble is you have to book the ferry weeks in advance and cannot predict the weather.
Today is pretty windy but 99% rain is forecast for Oban. This means Lochavuillin car park will turn into what it suggests, a loch and Tesco will be cut off by floodwater again. Also I will not be able to used the back route as that comes down on the wrong side of the probable floods. Aldi should be ok to get into and probably Lidl assuming there is room in their car parks.
I put up a pic of some young ladies doing the cancan on our FB page. Oh dear. Turns out to be blokes in drag and causing some embarrassment now to the participants who have to hide the picture from their kids.

I had went out today and accidentally left my phone at home. Surprisingly liberating but I missed the camera as I saw a few things I'd have liked to photograph.

Why don't they make a small camera that you could use as a phone in emergencies.

 

[Illaveago]

yes, but where were the units produced?

Ah! Good question! It is still down to them to ensure quality control as they will get blamed for faulty equipment !

 

[Illaveago]

Oh! The control unit is a Mertik Maxitrol made in Germany .

Will be commencing work in 71 mi utes time

I let it slide today but tomorrow I want to get back into my pre work routine of a 13 mile ride before breakfast.

If I did that I wouldn't have breakfast till lunchtime.

I've got wheelchair pushing fatigue today. I took my mum down to Leeds castle for a last of the summer outing and it involved more pushing than I'd bargained for. I'm not pushing anyone or anything anywhere today.

Today, I'm off to the Suffolk coast with daughter-mother. It's grab the sun while it's here time.

I took my Good Lady into town yesterday and spent a couple of hours pushing her round in her wheelchair, I do it regular and its a good work out.

Gazco Riva 530/670.
It stopped working a while ago. At first we thought it was the batteries in the remote controller. After replacing them we assumed it was batteries in the sensor/ control unit. Batteries replaced it makes a hissing noise , that isn't gas escaping, it is coming from the control unit . Weighing up the options and the government's policy it might be better to remove it . We don't use it that often , it was just easier to turn it on for a quick blast to take the chill off. It looked nice giving the effect of a real fire but as for reliability !

£230 for the control unit, is the cheapest I can find.

Had them over here last week. You could hear the racket over a mile away. Seldom have I hoped it would rain, but I wanted it that night.

You old duffer - it's not a racket. RUBY RUBY RUBY !!!! Getting excited now. Meeting the good lady at Crazy Pedro's after work for a 'scooner' or two - aka rip off 2/3rds of a pint for the same amount £4.50.

You couldn't actually make out the words. That may have been worth listening to.
More like a couple of dozen steel containers being rolled down concrete stairs for five hours, non stop.

I saw a bit on Beeb breakfast where they were reporting from a small brewery. They said that the brewery were getting low on compressed CO2. They use it to purge the aluminium cans prior to filling them with beer . It's a shame that they can't use the CO2 from the brewing process to cut down on emissions ?

I thought they were singing . "I blame tourettes! ".
