Mundane News

[oldwheels]

Temp went up to just over 24C in my garden and after a short time I had to cover up in case of sunburn and retreat to a shed.
It is warmer out than in the house so the strange situation of putting on an extra layer when coming indoors.
At the southern exit/entrance to the bay { the Diorlinn} there is a nice sheltered little bay where we sometimes went down to anchor for an extended lunch. There is good holding ground for anchoring and yachts use to stop there overnight. Last night was the first yacht I have seen this year in there as the whole yottie scene seems to have changed and they all cram into the marina with piped water and electric hookups. Floating caravans really.
We would never have used a marina and always anchored overnight in some secluded spot usually up Loch Sunart but sometimes out to Rum and Canna for the weekend. For extended cruises we went further afield but never tied up to a bouy or quayside.

Never let it be said that Mundane News doesn't have its uses - by looking back a few days I was able to find out that it was my recycling bin that was emptied last week, so it must be the non-recycling bin's turn this time. I'll find out if the Council kept to the schedule when I get home on Monday as, yet again, I find myself in a hotel room in Nottingham getting ready to go and listen to some very loud music.

It seems to have finally stopped raining here.

We also have sunshine, finally.

Hmph.

Nothing quite so exotic here. It's just a bit less murky, that's all. And the gutter has stopped dripping.

About to put a bid in on the 'bay.

I am not hopeful, however. This lot has the smell of sniping software about it.

Just posted an ad for my SLR. It's been on a shelf in the wardrobe for a few years. I was going to sell my last lens but found the listing process quite a chore so gave up.

 

[Reynard]

Yep, I was right about the smell... Two lots of sniping software in evidence - I was out of the running anyway as the bidding had already gone over my maximum.

Hey ho, another day, another auction... *shrug*

The search for a Tissot automatic at a sensible price goes on.

Can you expand on that?

 

[Reynard]

Time to feed the cats, and then it will be time to feed me.

I need to go and water my garden shrubs now that you remind me.

It's raining here and has been for a while now.
We have loaded up our car with stuff to take to the tip tomorrow .

Lovely supper of penne pasta, with a sauce made from mushrooms, the bits of chicken picked from the carcass (there's always a surprising amount left on the bones), garlic, tarragon and sour cream.

That went down very nicely, and there's enough left for tomorrow.
